How To Start A T Shirt Printing Business Using A Heat Press
Starting a t shirt printing business can be done with a heat press from the comfort of your home and in this video we dive into the details to start your own business. Shop our wholesale site: bit.ly/StreetCrafter
Heat Press price points can vary from $200- $5,000+ depending on your needs. The higher priced heat presses are designed for efficiency and professional use, and the lower end price points are made for startup brands working from home.
When starting a t-shirt business it’s important you consider the options available to you. If you are thinking of making some extra side hustle money by printing for brands in your community, while also building your own clothing line. Then investing in equipment makes sense as long as you market your services.
But if you’re new to starting a clothing line and want to use this to save money, this may not be the best option to start. In this case we highly recommend you check out our playlist on KZread to get started: • How To Start A Clothin...

📲If you’re starting a clothing line, I encourage you to download your free PDF and online training where we help you start your brand easily. Best of all we include an expanded list of suppliers in there as well: bit.ly/FTGU-App
🖌Working with a vinyl cutter requires artwork in a Vector Art format (.ai file) In order to make vector art you’ll need a program such as Illustrator. You can download the program and access from anywhere with Adobe Creative Cloud: bit.ly/Creative-Cloud1
🖨When setting up your heat press for heat transfer printing chances are you’ll also want to print in full color. The best way to do this is by purchasing full color transfers with your designs ready to be applied. This will require you purchase a couple dozen up front and the more you buy, the more you save.

Bruh I literally thought you need those big ass factory machines to print tees or any merch. This is sooooo cool
Thanks for the video and the tips, especially regarding Vector and the 100% cotton w. copper material to cover during pressing. Informative! Great advice also!
You guys are top notch! The guidance is impeccable!

Thank you. I've watched lots of videos they weren't nearly as informational. The links in the description are also an awesome resource.
Good job I like how u get to the point and explain what u need right away
I bought a silhouette cameo 4 for about $180(vinyl cutting that cuts 12” by 10 feet) but sold my old one so only really payed $60 for it. Got some $10 good quality Heat transfer Vinyl and then used a household iron and this in total cost about $200 and it works great have made 3 times my money back, so u don’t need a $500 cutting machine and a $700 heat press;)
Awesome review John thank you ur videos are really really good ,please keep on doing videos like this one
When you started preaching abt investing that stimulus check. I felt that 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Mclovin!!!! Awesome video. I ordered my press bundle off Heatpress Nation. 💯
Thank you for your detailed videos. Lots of us need knowledge before getting into starting online businesses. You're doing a great job delivering the right knowledge. If I may make a request, can you cover the "canvas" print-on-demand business? Loved your video with Apliiq, perhaps a similar video but focused on Canvas for those of us that are interested in selling art. Thanks again!
Thanks for the information. You definitely make me feel better starting my online startup!

NICE VIDEO …. Today I had 3 bad experiences with people that advertised shirt printing , to make a story short none of the 3 businesses complied with their job …. So I thought “I’m gonna do this myself , and if there’s more unsatisfied . clients like me out there I’m going to help them out and make the difference “. I’m gonna invest on this kind of equipment and learn everything about this business after all I know I’ll be printing most of the shirts for our household LOL ….. thanks guys your video was awesome…… Im a new subscriber 🤜🏼🤛🏼

My biggest job was a 172 shirt job for a church. I went with low end but I wish I went with better equipment not because of the quality but because it would help you do more jobs in a shorter period of time. I'll list what I started with when I get back home.

love it sir, i also own this type of setup. Also get sa sublimation printer, cap press. Here in manila i think the equipment price is reasonable. A vinyl 1 meter x 20inch cost Php 130 , depends on vinyl types and design. keep it up God bless sir.

What brand T’s have you had the best luck with? As far as the transfer setting into the fabric? And are the a 100% cotton or a 50/50 blend? Just subscribed BTW. Thank you, great video, direct and concise and NO fuckin loud shitty music! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks love you guys!!!!!
I have a friend who is making t shirts using a heat press so I wanted to see how that works and tagged along for a little .in the 3 hours I spent with him it just turned me off to it completely I would never use a heat press to create something .
Getting a heat press in January for £160, got a t shirt supplier & transfer supplier (because I haven't got the room to do the transfers myself) and I'm honestly so excited to start a business :) thank you so much guys,hope your ok

Disculpe que programa puedo bajar para hacer resolution a Las fotos y voltear Las letras para cuando imprwnte SE Lea correcto de frente....tengo El app GIMP pero SE me have dificil hacer resoluciones a la foto espero me conteste gracias!
Is semi-gloss or matte finish better for t-shirts. I'm interested in the white color for text and one color logos. Thanks
Great work guys. Can you add artwork to shirts like photos or pictures . Probably a dumb question
Is vector art a software like photo shop? Can you not use photo shop? Thanks in advance this video is great.
Thank you!!
VEVOR is another excellent BUDGET brand for cutter/plotters and heat presses
Question!! Can you use a iPad or iPhone to connect to the heat presser ?
Are there any color restrictions in this model? Like if I want to print a coloured vector art what's gonna be the procedure? Or it's the same?
As long as you upgrade for real serigraphy or real embroidery, with these heat press, you will have a lot of customer service to manage.
🔥🔥🔥great content
I have the same setup, are you using the sign master pro program?
what size is the press? is it 15x15 or 12x15 or something else? im trying to get an idea of what size is good for larger size t shirts.
What the link to your desk that you keep everything one
Can i put the screenprint stencils on Crocs's rubber matetial? Do u think it will last long on a rubber surface? I just want to know if screen print will last long on rubber surface.
