I dont mean the little ink jet kits you buy at the store...but has anyone ever screen printed with the actual press and ink etc? I've thought about picking up a press and ink and stuff but really dont know what I'm looking at or for....anyone on here ever had experience with it?

I've wanted to but never had the money to even look into it.

I see a few Hot Press's being sold on Ebay for a few hundred dollars...I'm just trying to figure out what else I'll need....ink, screen, flash drier and I'm not sure what else...I suppose I could get the copies made at Staples or something to make sure they are good quality

I worked for the Cotton Exchange in Wendell, NC. They print for a ton of colleges, cruise lines, Disney, etc....so, yeah, I've got experience with silk screen printing.

Oh, sure, I did this in junior high. All it takes is a framed screen, some paint, a stensil, a piece of wood or squeejee, and t-shirts. Hire some homeless laborers and you've got yourself a business model to make hundreds, possibly.

i used to do this in highschool. i took a class my freshman year of hs called graphic design or some crap and we got to make t-shirts with real silk screens. i made a few shirts throughout my hs career. i still have the smashing pumpkins shirt i made....

I was in there the other day and they had a few LU shirts there. Went to Perry's gun shop.

Ah, good ol' Perry's. They did have another, smaller gun shop in the actual community I lived in call Pearces. But, that closed down when I was a kid, IIRC.

Did you see LU shirts in the factory outlet, or in the company with a sales rep?

[flameshaw]

The outlet on the corner of main st.

On a serious note, I know the guy who runs this place: http://www.citizenshirt.com/
He's an LU grad and was my RA for a couple years. Let me know if you need any info from him.

Is that how the Cotton Connection does their shirts? I went to high school with the guy who owns that business beside Texas Inn, and he's an LU alum.
