Screen Printing Forum

I am looking to start a serious T-Shirt business, and I think it would be ideal to buy my own screen printer and print them up myself. I would probably be good with just a 4 Color Press, and I'm not opposed to buying used equipment if it's not a bad idea. I would prefer to spend around $1000 for all of my equipment. Is there a specific model that I should get that would be professional but not outrageously expensive?

Hi
To keep costs down I am building my own 4 colour press - I got the plans online from http://www.printingplans.com/screenpressplans.pdf

The guy also sells complete kits so all you have to do is assemble them - I think he quotes the self assembly one at $388 - info can be found here http://www.printingplans.com/printingpresskit.html

I was looking to buy one and a decent one will set you back about $1000 - $1200. Its a bit of effort building your own but its cheap and will do the job.

Hope that helps
