    I have recently started my sign company and I already have a big demand for "construction type signage"
    I can easily produce them in cut vinyl but they are too expensive for my costumer. i was wondering if a screen printing setup would expensive and easily learned?

    thank you in advance for any replies…

    Hi Arslan,
    You would need a large space in your workshop for all the equipment needed to screen print. Along with that its a steep learning curve and won’t be learned overnight. Try sourcing a local printer and farm out the print work to them, this way it would take the pressure off having to learn a new trade.

    Cheers John

    Its more of the hands-on printing experience that you would need. I’m not saying don’t do it, but to test the waters and see if the work is out there I would farm the work to a decent screen printer for a few months before outlaying on equipment.

    Cheers John
