A DTG is probably not a good idea for a "newbie". It sounds really glamorius but can be a wallet buster. If you don't have a current market for over 20 shirts a week you will likely fail. A DTG requires a significant investment, constant maintenence, an optimum temp and humidity environment and a fair amount of tech saavy. As a beginner do not buy a unit off eBay or from a one man operation. Beware of used units unless you see it in operation. Printing On dark and dealing with pretreatment is particularly hard to master. Yes you can makemoney but do the math. I am on my second DTG, but I have a current customer base have a store front.
