Shit reprinting equipment! (the whole thing)
I'm looking to start printing my own designs, initially for personal use but eventually to sell. My budget is around £1,000, and I'm based in the UK.
I'm hoping to produce high-quality, full-colour designs on T-shirts and hoodies, but I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the different printing methods (DTF, DTG, sublimation, HTV, screen printing, etc.).
With a budget of around £1,000:
What printing method would you recommend?
Which printer and heat press would you buy?
Are there any UK suppliers you'd recommend (or avoid)?
What other equipment or consumables should I budget for?
If you were starting again with £1,000 today, what would your setup look like?
I'd rather spend a bit more on equipment that's reliable and has room to grow than buy something cheap that I'll need to replace in six months.
Thanks in advance!
