Re: What Do I Need To Screen Print At Home?
Hey i just finished a basic screen printing class and fell in love. I would like to start a small business just from my art on clothes. there are so many different presses out there, which would you suggest for a medium sized business? I can weld a base onto one no problem. so i guess i'm just looking for the cheapest but still reliable and easy to work with so i can grow as a business.

Bench presses and floor presses are two totally different animals. You can see bench presses and floor press I use myself, sell and recommend here:

But for a press that will grow with your business you would want to look at the 4 color 1 station Vista series floor press. It can be upgraded all he way to a 6/6 as your business grows.
Ranar makes great bench presses:

I admit I am biased because I use this equipment myself so naturally I would recomend and sell it.

Yes, to print big or oversized pieces of fabric you need a different kind of set up:
Maybe something like this:
OR
For tee shirts you need an oversized screen and pallet that can handle the print size.

When ordering T-shirts do you order bulk or by the customers order?
