    Where to buy shirt blanks?

    Hey everyone, I am just starting up with shirt making and am in need of soem shirts. What shirts are the best for the cheapest price? I checked out jiffy shirts, was going to order gildan g500 shirts. An order of 30 came out to 87.00. Does this sound right? Is there some place I can get small quantity like this for cheaper? Just starting up so I don't want to go crazy at first.. Also, what type of shirt is great quality? I will be using siser easyweed vinyl

    Need help with sublimated mugs

    So I have been pressing some mugs lately and it is a very large hit and miss ratio with which ones turn out great and which ones don't. Today I went through 3 mugs. I have wasted a total of about 15 mugs using different temps and pressures. The blacks are having a smudge or gassing appearance on the side of them. Normally happens the most on black text where you can see little black dots and smudging coming from the side of the text. The colors all turn out great. I am using an ebay mug press (varied temp: idle temp, press temp, time). Mugs from coastal Image right paper from coastal. WF 30 from cobra ink with cis high temp inks Please help as I am wasting so many mugs trying to figure this out. Doing both latte and classic style mugs.

    Digital Printed Vinyl Graphics. (using home desktop printer)

    The other guys do use solvent prints that's why. When you use pigment or dye based inks, they just don't last long.

    Digital Printed Vinyl Graphics. (using home desktop printer)

    With uv laminate, they last about 6 months outdoors with my experience. We print hundreds on a weekly basis
  7. There are several posts on this topic. Unless the sticker is printed using solvent ink, it won't last long at all outside.

    Hydro Dipping

    Yeah I tried it and figured I would try it out for a few friends and after I did the first one for someone, I threw in the towel.. Extremely difficult to make the end result perfect!

    Hydro Dipping

    I tried it, it is a lot harder then it looks! I have dipped a lot of things and every item I dipped I had to redip about 3 times to get it halfway decent. What they don't show in the videos is the rinsing process which is when you see all the flaws. Once dipped, everything looks perfect until it is rinse then you can see if you dipped at the correct angle, speed, water is at the correct temp, used the apropriate base coat paint, used the correct amount of activater, had water in your paint gun lines, etc. The only way to make it work as a business you will be looking at about 10k plus for all the right equipment, then after that you need to know how to prep, paint, dip, and clear properly or else the entire product is toast.
