And how has it gone? It’s been a year since your comment. Were you successful?

[@texas_mike4982]

I work for a shop and I'm self taught mostly from RUclips sadly. We are getting more into bella. With that said I get tons of ladies flowy tanks. What your best advice for print bright white on dark flowys. Owners only use standard plastisols. Which when I print them are heavy and most of the time print straight through the garmet and leaving print on the pallet. Thank you

100,000 hours*

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Hey! Rene was referring specifically to Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000-hour principle :)

[@nickiaco]

"$500 on the higher end" to start a screen printing business sounds way off... The minimum necessary items to provide professional quality prints include: a printing press, a flash curing unit or another means to cure the ink, an exposure unit, a printer, printer ink, vellum to print on, screens, emulsion, plastisol ink, ink scoops, a squeegee, a washout booth, screen cleaner, blackout tape, an adhesive to keep the shirt from moving... it's more like $5,000, and that's if you purchase lower quality used equipment

[@BELLACANVASOFFICIAL]

Hi Nicholas! Thanks for sharing. While it would be good to have all the items you listed, Rene mentioned that, to get the ball rolling, all you would need is a simple tabletop press, one or two inks, a squeegee and just a few shirts -- the rest will come as you start to print! As you start to take on jobs and build out your client-base, you can acquire more materials over time. You definitely don’t need to stock your shop to get going, you can slowly build up as you go.
