Greetings from West Michigan USA
« on: July 24, 2018, 03:34:07 PM »
I'm new to screen printing. The wife bought one of those speedball screen printing starter kits and printed a few shirts, but it was painful. I started watching YouTube videos and decided I could do better than that. I built a 3 platen line press and am now ready to try printing my first shirt. I'm excited to learn more about this. I'm not looking to start a business or print 100's of shirts. We just love to make custom things for friends and family.

Well, welcome aboard.
Many here probably started as hobbyists, and then graduated to the next level.
Understand that most here are in it for the $, so many answers will likely involve "industrial strength" answers.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?
