Hi Assault
Could you (or anyone else out there) e-mail me some recommendations for places to outsource the t-shirts: I have simple 1 color, 1 side designs.
thanks

Hi, I am a small biz owner–trying to branch out with t-shirts. I am a graphic designer and I’ve screen printed before–but a long time ago). I’m very hands-on but even I realize that this would be too time consuming. the shirts are very design driven. My wife and I think that you are right. In fact, we have been looking for places to outsource the work to..they have to be quality and I think that would better be handled by a pro. But most we’ve seen are just to expensive..Can you please help us with any recommendations?

when i print on t.shirts the edges need to be trimmed. Is it possible to print using a transfer sticker that only prints the design and not the complete dimensions of the paper

We outsource our printing to a screenprinter–I highly recommend doing this for startups, print the minimum and get it done at someone who does it all day every day rather than trying to learn it for yourself.

It just takes too much time and costs too much money to do it on your own at first–after you’ve sold a few thousand shirts, use the money and print on your own!

I am not a fan of DTG – too slow….if your planning to do it to make money.

But…

This past weekend at the SGIA.org show, I got a first hand look at the Kornit 931DS – http://www.kornit-digital.com/SiteFiles/1/117/1066.asp#5185

This DTG printer was SUPER FAST compared to anything out on the market. I was impressed how it applied the pre-treatment with the shirt on the pallet automatically, then started to print. The white underbase printed better than expected. They printed for me a full size color print that took less than 2 minutes to complete. The only downside is, the Dual Head machine cost over $200,000!
