plastisol ink is the one to go for. Much more user friendley.
apart from the carousel/print bed.
you`ll need.
screens
inks
dryer( convayer or spot, or both)
squeegees
screen cleaner
emulsion, to create the screens.
film to make the art work.
light box to burn the screens.
wash out booth
spray adhesive to hold the tees in place when printing.
+ a few other bits and pieces to make your life easier.best get a copy of printwear & promotion mag, theres loads of traders advertised in there.
for inks I use sericol
for equipment theres loads of choice. have a look on e-bay.
get the book ” printing tee shirts for fun & profit” . great book, loads of info.
+ a very large room to fit it all in.
