Watch all the available videos on YouTube, especially from CatspitProductions and Ryonet although Ryonet really only makes commercials lately.
Read, Read, Read all the postin getting started. Make sure this is something you're going to want to do. Many times, so many people have this idea that printing shirts is easy or they are going to make all this money so they go out and spend a lot of money and then realize
1. It's more expensive then they thought.
2. It's not as easy as they thought.
3. They aren't making the kind of money they expected.
4. Can't get customers.
**The list could go on and on**
When this happens, many go on to want to get out of the business realizing that it isn't for them. Then they have an extremely difficult time trying to sell their equipment to someone else never really recouping anything close to their initial investment.
My best advice would be to learn the business by taking the class and reading everything you can about it. Then find a printer you want to work with and establish a working relationship. Then go out and get your own customers so that when you have enough, you can venture out on your own and you'll definitely have the money you need.
You'll essentially get into the business with the bare minimum.
Whatever you decide, good luck to you!!!
