Printing Business

T-Shirt printing requires some equipment to get you started. These include:

Computer. Printing is a graphic business, and you need a computer to design the images and text to print on the shirts. The computer will also serve as a tool for managing your business to keep inventory, account, and finance, write proposals and general office administration.
Printers. You need a printer to print graphic images you will transfer on T-Shirts. Your choices include Inkjet, Laser, Sublimation and Solvent printers. The best printer for T-shirt printing is solvent, but they are expensive which may not be feasible for a startup. You can go for any other until you have the money to invest in the solvent printer.
Relevant graphic programs. CorelDraw and Photoshop are the necessary printing graphic software you will need, but as time goes on you may decide on acquiring more.
Transfer papers. You will need transfer paper which is the crux of your business. Make sure to get quality ones for a quality transfer.
Cutter. A cutter and the program are required to cut stencils for screen prints.
Heat press. This is the ultimate tool for doing your business. Although people use pressing iron for heat transfer, it’s not as versatile and productive. A heat transfer will perfectly transfer the image in seconds while it takes a couple of minutes to use iron.
