Hello all,

I'm a designer of many years with some interest in my town's local history. I went around a few years ago and got permission from local owners to use their decades-old business logos to make small runs of shirts, and then thought I'd just use zazzle or whatever.

But nobody really connected with them, and I think the big reason is that people really like that soft, textured look of discharge inks.

I'm thinking now I'd like to try to set up a place in my basement and see if I can do this myself, with absolutely no experience in shirt printing whatsoever, although I've been around printing for years with my career.

What am I in for?

Thanks!

Sublimation on polycotton garments produces a faded 'retro' look when washed as the sub inks are only permanent in the polyester fibres, not the cotton.

Try anything above a 50/50 mix.
