You may want to think twice about getting into screen printing. It's a messy
business to do and takes up considerable floor space. If you are lucky enough
to have a dependable screenprinter near by, it's my suggestion that you
contract with him for those jobs and look at possibly adding sublimation and
vinyl cutting for your shop. We have been embroidering for about 12 years and
this area of our business is our mainstay.
We have a cutter/plotter for vinyl applications and a 1280 Epson printer for
sublimation. These two items cover most of our requests and when we need a
hundred sweatshirts for a school, our nearby screenprinter does that work for
us. We are content with our $2 or so profit per item on jobs like that.
We bought a swinger press from Stahls about 10 years ago and it still works
great. Our sublimation business is perfect for small runs on tees and sweats.
Frankly, we do not have the floor space for a screenprinter plus the necessary
screen-making and drying equipment.
Hope this helps. :-)
