IMO, both of these require you to know something about color.  I thought I knew 
about color.  NADA!  I took painting for 5 years but it didn't translate.  So 
if you do decide to enter either markets, but sure to get a good education.  I 
found that I understood practically nothing.  It was a disaster.  Very 
humbling. 

The in thing now is all over sublimation.  Sublimation requires a white or 
nearly white polyester shirt.  Kind of limiting.  Equipment for that would run 
about $25m min.  And remember, with both the sublimation and the DTG printer, 
you MUST print at least once a week, WITHOUT FAIL!  Otherwise the head gets 
clogged.  

I heard that Digital Art Solutions has a DTG that doesn't require the once a 
week printing.  You might want to check that out.  DTG does not require a heat 
press, but sublimation does.  DTG takes a long time, and with Sub,you can print 
out the sheets ahead of time and press later.  

Lots of things to consider.
