Startup Supplies

Post by Bartjy »

Hi Folks,

Totally new to screen printing, I need advice. I recently built a 4 color silk screen press. See link for pick.

I already know that I need four screens, what else should a budding entrepreneur need in the way of supplies to start a very small t-shirt printing business? I'll be using water based ink.

Thanks
Bart

All I really need to know is if there is a kit that contains everything but the 4 color printer?

Thanks

I've just started researching this endeavor, and already I'm overwhelmed.

Hey there. Sorry for the wait. I'm about the only one who will reply on a regular basis but I need a little time to get to everything.

I do not have supply kits myself but here's a rundown list of items you may need to screen print including supplies:

If you're starting out small you can buy "a la cart" and get only what you need. Let me know if you have further questions I can help with.
