Thank you for this. A realistic video on what we need to make this our reality and how much it will cost with examples… I couldn’t ask for more
EXACTLY what I need. Getting ready to start screen printing & really needed this; so much to learn. Love the video 😀
Hey, really nice job Josh! Your suggestions and costs are aligned for sure! Always appreciate when a new video drops :)
Thank you for sharing this valuable video with insights and guidance. It's inspiring to see the community come together to empower aspiring entrepreneurs. Keep up the great work!
“You know what to do was the best touch sir 🤙🏽. I like how you do business and I’m on it.
Thank you!
Nice video mate, love it
Bro I loved the ink joke reminded me of skate 3s intro film they had when they were printing or gluing skateboard decks…why does it look so delicious
Josh, this was great
Great insight, I'm at the start of my journey...
Great Video brother
Dude! I just found your channel and I am loving it! Reminds me of the show "Good Eats" with Alton Brown. So much amazing info. I can say the Cannon Pixma ix6820 is a great printer.
Good Prints sounds like a great idea for a series, lol.
i went about 6k when starting out and that too was without a conveyor dryer.
Hi just want to know how is your business going. Most businesses I see don't grow further.
Hey Josh, new subscriber here - you have some great videos!
So, for new TH-camrs with low subscribers, how would you recommend starting to offer merch? Do you have merch and if not, may I ask why you have decided not to offer it? Thanks in advance!
Got this suggestion n clicked just to see wtf screen printing is lol.
But gotta say man, this video is golden. Quick n easy showing you all the steps without turning it into a shitty normie "how to" video like the 1mil+ subs channels do it. Even giving advice on how to apply it to start your own hustle.
Some random dude could seriously watch this 10min video, buy the equipment & supplies needed, apply the steps mentioned, and have an operational business going that one perhaps could survive off during hard times lol. Good stuff! subd
Thanks! Happy to provide the info needed to get started. Printing is my side hustle, and talking about printing is just a hobby at this point, haha.
whats the app for the pantone colors that u are using in the start of the video?
Not an app but a website for ink mixing formulas for FN Ink, from Ryonet. www.fn.ink/pages/fn-ink-mixing-system
Serial killer here! I like reclaiming. Throw them in my homemade dip tank and blast them with a pressure washer. Great video. DIY 100%
Lol
I'm the same here I don't mind reclaiming screens.
Ever worked on a drilling 🛢 rig? Reclaiming screens is a walk in the park.
Sincerely Serial killer.
@@thenogood6717 lol ok
a heat gun works pretty good for one color at the beginning too...
yeah, I would say if you're only doing 1 color prints a heat gun is ok in the beginning, but if you're printing multiple colors it can be a real pain. I started with a heat gun and when I upgraded to a flash everything cured so much better.
Yes it does that's how I started
Great video I think I spend like $3,000 to $4,000 to get started.
nice, did you buy anything I didn't go over in the video?
From a commercial screen printer perspective.
A RIP is not needed, and there are cheaper options.
IF you value your time, or employees time, a RIP is needed and pays for itself within a day or 2.
If it is a hobby, a RIP is no needed, but if you sell the shirts, it's a must. .
Yeah, I think this sums it up. I got by for a long time without one. It makes things easier, but I only REALLY needed it for specific purposes.
Love the video, very insightful! but what beginner has 5k just relaxing to throw at something
True, I didn't have 5k when I started so I went the DIY route. I didn't buy everything at once. Just buy 1 or 2 things to get started, sell some shirts and buy the rest later.
@@joshisterrific I can respect that. What do you think the wisest thing to build first would be? Also if you have some relatively "complex" designs, is the DIY still possible? I made some designs and may have let my 'artistic vision' exceed my abilities haha. My designs are kinda wild. Also long pant. What is the secret to that dark magic printing process?
@@stereo-soulsoundsystem5070 probably an exposure unit. You can build one for as cheap as $50, and I bet there's a few videos on TH-cam on how to do that. It would be difficult to get fine details on a unit like that though, so if you go that route I would try simple designs first to get that experience.
That’s a fvkcTON of money to invest in making cheap T-shirts. Maybe if you’re doing expensive fine art. Very labor intensive on top of it all, and you need to pay for the physical space to store and operate it. You will have to seriously bust your azz to break even. Yikes.
Soon as you said $2200 i was out....but great video
$2200 would be the bare minimum for a fully functional print studio, however you can absolutely start for less and eventually upgrade your equipment. Buy a 1-color press, use a heat gun to cure, use your bathroom as a dark room and a bathtub as a washout booth. More affordable, but not ideal.
Mesh no.
too much and not quite professional gear to start with! it's overpriced. you only need around 5000, not 20.000
Hold on now buddy. With all due respect if you’re serious about your business you would appreciate all the positive info we received here for free. I’m sorry it didn’t quite meet your budget, but I don’t think this is the way. You are so better then this and amazing human being so act like it ... show it .... express it..... give like if not a fu&e. You dig?! No hard feelings all love ... don’t come for me now. LOL
Sir if you want to buy screen printing machine please contact me
I have a 6 colour press impress company
With 2 flash curing station
