T Shirt Printing Equipment

Thank you for visiting our website. Here we will discuss your options when purchasing T Shirt Printing Equipment.

Welcome to our website.  Our aim is to help you find information before buying T Shirt Printing Equipment.  There are a lot of options out there, so it's best to do your research and take many different things into consideration before you make a decision.

When searching for T Shirt Printing Equipment it is important to remember several things before making a purchase.  Your options include using a heat press transfer method or screen printing.  Which one is the right one for you?  That depends on several factors.

If you're new to t shirt printing and a simply doing it as a hobby the Yudu Screen Printing Machine Kit is a relatively inexpensive option. This kit can teach you the basics of using t shirt printing equipment without putting a large dent in your bank account.  The pros of this machine are that it is inexpensive and aimed at beginners.  This is not the T Shirt Printing Equipment for you if you plan on making large numbers of printed t-shirts (several hundred a day).

If you're starting a t-shirt printing business, a slightly more expensive set up (that's well worth the money) would be to use a Heat Transfer Machine.  One of the main advantages of using this type of t shirt printing equipment is that you can bring it with you to special events such as carnivals and fairs.  With this option you don't need to have the t-shirts pre-printed for a one time event. 

For example, let's say you have a booth set up at your city's Christmas Festival.  Instead of bringing 200 pre-printed t-shirts (that may not all sell), you bring: 200 pre-printed heat transfers, 200 blank t-shirts and your heat press.  Throwing out the left over heat transfers is a lot less expensive to you than throwing out left over t-shirts.  Another advantage with this method is the ability for customers to choose the color of their shirt on the spot, instead of whatever you decided to make before setting up your booth.

Screen printing presses are another option when considering buying t shirt printing equipment.  Earlier I mentioned a low-cost option for beginners.  If you're more serious and intend to start a business, then you'll probably want a table top press or a larger pro shop model printing press.

With these options you can choose between a larger setup that would require an entire room to operate (pro shop model press).  If you're tight on space there are a lot of reliable table top presses that have multi-color capabilities.

Whether you choose a beginner screen printing kit, a heat transfer press, or a large scale screen printing press there are four main things that you should determine before making a purchase.  Determine your budget, the amount of shirts you plan on printing, what you will be using it for (commercial use or as a hobby), and how much space you can spare for your T Shirt Printing Equipment.
