New Guy Here, advice needed.

[dazjames]

Hi all, new to site so hello and thanks for letting me join. Been looking at posts and should be able to get a good grasp on equipment.

However I am a tad confused with some things.

I am looking into starting a very small print project, either t shirts or mugs. The products will be very niche.

In regards to image printing do I have to print an image every time I want to print either a mug or shirt?

Furthermore rather than own and run a printer is it possible to get image printing done someplace and instead hold a stock of images ready to print. How much could I expect to pay for a print ready image?

Lastly, is it poss to print onto black shirts or would quality be compromised somewhat.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Welcome to the site.
you need to check out both the dye sublimation and the transfer paper/ vinyl section. There is lots of information in them about the different ways to either print designs or cut them and then press them, including the equipment needed.

Hi Darren and welcome to the forum :-)

This section is just for introductions so if you could copy our question into a more relevant section that would be great. You'll get a much better response that way, it may even be better to split your post up into seperate questions/sections to get an even better response.
