Okay, so I have dona a lot of research on what I would need in order to start screen printing. Here is what i'm planning on buying:
- Cotton T-Shirts
- Echno 16x16 Flash Dryer
- Clean Screen Instant Opener (Screen Cleaner)
- IC Plastisol Inks 700 Series
- Durometer Squeegee
And then I'm planning on making my own screens.
Is there anything you think I would need to add and is necessary before I order all of the items?

Maybe a press and conveyor dryer? Emulsion, exposure unit, assorted chemicals, rags by the pound, way to design and output art to film, etc,etc....
Re: Is these items enough to start screen printing?
Okay, so I've added Emulsion to the list. I was wondering what kind of chemicals that are necessary. I'm only looking for the most basic things. Also, is it possible to create an exposure unit in a cheap way?
Thanks.
Thanks.

You'll definitely want degreaser if you're using new screens and emulsion remover to remove the stencil from the screen when you're done printing. You also might want some spray adhesive.
As for a cheap exposure unit, all you need is one of these: http://www.anthemprintingsf.com/500-Wat ... l-500w.htm
