Omg I’m not the only one who wants to do it ALL. I thought I was only. Thx great info.
You are BY FAR the best person on RUclips for ACTUAL information and instruction, advice, demonstration etc.
Yep! I try to be the Queen of all trades. Then I get overwhelmed and want to quit. It’s a Vicious cycle. I have to take steps back and refocus. Love the video it is spot on. Currently I’m making tumblers, heat pressing shirts and have 3 embroidery machines. 🤦🏻♀️ there is so much more I want to learn. Thanks Rich keep your videos coming.
I'm also the queen of all trades lol, Ive had to cut back on some
Rich - THANK YOU! I felt like you literally talking to ME! You hit on every topic and concern I had concerning this arena I’m trying to navigate my way through. Your videos are so helpful and I appreciate the fact that you’re supporting others in a field you’re making money in.... there’s enough room for us all! Thank you very much! Xoxo, denise
I have viewed countless videos regarding printing onto ... whatever. This is the best, not only because of the range of the methods discuss (although greater detail of each can be found elsewhere) but, primarily, you spoke directly about the business side of it in the most detail of anyone on the web. Really well done. I hope those dreaming about getting into this business paid close attention to your advice.
You nailed it on this one. Too many options means too many headaches!!! Love your No Holds Barred approach. Some people jump in way too fast and crash hard. I love to hear your take on blank shirts and suppliers. We only use Bella Canvas, Anvil, and American Apparel. Plenty of options with these 3. Great job
Mostly Bella Canvas for me and I use AlphaBroder since one of their warehouses is near me
Thanks Rich. You put a lot into perspective. I’m getting ready bro. And you helped me save, before I even started! Keep on keepin on. Love the content.
Thanks, I'm making orders watching ur video. I'm going to take ur advice.
Thanks for the solid info Rich. I am learning a lot from watching your videos. Getting closer to diving deep on a t-shirt venture.
I have two GTX printers in my shop back in Barcelona and I freaking love those machines, it allows me to do so much.
However, as I'm stuck in Canada right now, I'm looking at going the supacolors + heat press route just to keep design and sales going while I'm in Canada.
Love your content.
Appreciate you watching! That might be a good alternative until you get back to Barcelona, or just get a third gtx. Lol
Just what i needed to hear , im just starting with sublimation and want to do everything.😅
Man what kind of Camera do you use to make your videos??? They’re SUPER CLEAR, GREAT VIDEOS SIR!!!
Nice job Rich. Your videos are getting better every time. You seem more focused and your message came across more clear than some of your past videos. I have followed your videos for a while and you are on the right track my friend. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I appreciate it.
Thank you! Really appreciate your words!
Started watching your videos last month. Great advice and content 💯👍 Narrowing down and limiting “available” colors was huge for me. You think it helps because you offer more options to the customers but in reality it just causes analysis paralysis and no decision is ever made...which is bad if we’re trying to sell them a shirt 😂
I definitely agree!
True gems damn no jack jus a king I literally tried all in this video
THANK YOU SO MUCH! this was an awesome video and so informative for me as I to start my business. Appreciate you!
I'm just starting out. I was gonna go down the cricut and vinyl route but decided to get an inkjet printer and transfer paper instead. I think it's faster and better for testing out how a design will look on garment (especially if it's multicolour) before ordering a large quantity of higher quality transfers.
Thanks for all you videos and tips, ive been watching alot of them for the past few days and have gotten so much good info
Great job, brotha!! Thanks so much...have been following for a minute now and shall continue to!!
Great advice Rich. The many option thing you talked about is common in many segments of industry...you mention it in another video, your battle with time kicks in when you implement the 'many options' mode of work...you only have so much time in a day so what is it you want to accomplish. I'll take pressing ordered shirt if I have them over learning a new thing that might not sell....great video thanks again for sharing!
Time stamps would really help with videos like these. Subbed.
See a m16 in the background 👀 I like this guy 👍😆
Very informative. I appreciate you
Thanks Rich, for the content, I grateful I found your channel, it's really helped me.
Needed to hear this advice you offered at the end! ''Master one method first!'' On it brother, I've got my cutter, I've got my vinyl, now just waiting on my Heat Press to arrive, so time to start learning the softwear and start making HTV shirts for my insta page boi! Yeoow!
This was really a good advise.... thank you . God bless!
When your new and unknown: How do you drive people to your Insta? Ya know your graphic with the Ninja head? How do you sell that to a person who never saw it before. Do you bait them with other text based shirts? What I'm trying to get at is: How to get the customer to buy a shirt that never knew they wanted to buy a shirt? Hopefully I'm making some kinda sense (or Cents lol) Thanks Rich. Have a good one bud.
That’s not my business mode so I’m no expert in that field but when I’ve worked on a brand I’m the past I used IG influencers.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and life learning experiences for others to follow.
Good stuff homie 💪 👏
Thanks for the quality content Rich. I was able to acquire a grant for about $12,000 so I purchased a iColor 800W and the iColor 350 Dye Sub Machine. I was able to purchase the Hotronix Air Fusion used for a great price. I figured I would stick to Adult Tees (3 - 4 Colors) with custom designs both single color and full color. I will probably stick to making Dye Sub Mugs with my Business Logo to give to my Customers that order a certain quantity as well as package deal with the customer Tee Shirt design. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Congrats on your new toys John! Wish you the most success!
Awesome advice, thanks so much for your videos! They have been sooooo helpful in my journey!
Nah bro you were right, take it from a sublimation guy who veered off into embroidery I was doing pretty good making some money but trying to keep it consistent with tension and all kinds other material problems paying the ass sold it...should I say dumped it for $1000.
So yeah I got a big print library but I'm so limited in my light to white polyester thing you know what I mean..
So I'm glad I listen to you I was going to DTG but I've never been sold on the white lead ink issue clogging the printouts....
But now that I'm retiring I want to jump into it got a couple jobs in the works one for 30 shirts one for 40 shirts and I'm almost out of ink but I got the prints done so I'm at that point.so I like what I hear from you. I believe I'm good to go thinking the 600 but I'm hoping you touch bases on some of the better print paper to give me that Matt soft look... i'm not sure you look like an islander I'm having a retirement party in Honolulu July 12 to July 16 if that's where you live let's hook up let me check your stuff out, cool
What about the DTS (DirecttoScreen) printing machine called (GoccoPro QS-2536). You only need to stretch the screen, put it in the machine and it burns the image directly to the screen in High quality close to DTG image.
No need of dark room, no emulsion, no water gun, no exposure or films negative, no pretreat, no expensive ink cartridges and no cleanup.
And since DTS is screen printing, you can do Large orders and not one-offs like DTG.
It's basically an hybrid machine that uses the Pros of both sides without the Cons.
Despite all that, my question is:
Should I Go for Traditional Screen Printing and work my way to DTS or just stay Traditional???
What about heat transfer paper can we do both? Heat transfer vinyl and Heat transfer paper.. I guess we have to buy a sperate printer for that?
I have a DTG if you have anyone has questions. Purchased mine from Omni print
NIce video. Good job. I was able to understand everything you said and that is tough for me.
Really into your channel atm. Could have done with you like 6 years ago. I do HTV and printed vinyl. I work out of a sign and vehicle graphic store in the UK. Want to make the move online. Its a new area for me.
Be like In and Out burger simple and less distraction focus on quality and customer service
another great video man, thanks for posting and dropping knowledge.
Love your channel! Great Content! Thanks Rich!
This content is great, especially towards the end of the video. Try out before you drive deep. Thank you.
Bro lmao if I had a dollar for every time you said “what knot” i could afford a good heat press!!! 😅😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Rich with all the info you need. On point again bro!
Thanks Sphinx!
I think the most important point Rich made was to make sure you CAN sell shirts before investing in this equipment. If you're not already killing it with PoD, I don't think it makes sense to spend all that money.
Dude! Love this channel! So informative for what I'm looking into! :D
Thanks brother you put me on track
What if some takes your idea and profit from it..?
Can a contract come into play..?
To help..?
i looked into DTG for a long time but the printers always seemed sketchy to me, unless you go ultra high end $250,000 kornit which of course no one can afford
always awesome content... just took the plunge and bought the icolor 800... now to grab a hotrnonix hp..... thank you for making these Videos Rich!!!
So amazing and proud of your new acquisition!
Which hotrnonix hp did you go with?
Jordan Rose think im going to go with the fusion iq
Have you looked into print & cut with eco solvent inks?
I have not.
I really needed to see this video thanks. 🔥🔥
Can you do detailed video on envanto elements, how using there fonts work commercially
Thanks
Thanks for the information ... I am also thinking of start t-shirt business with vynl cutter and heat press.. have any cutter and heat press suggestions that's help me lot 🙏
Thanks. Very informative video... and what not.
Good INFO!!!
thanks you rock bro
I really appreciate your videos frfr
Please make a video on the different types of A-B paper for white toner transfers. I’m thinking of buying one for my next purchase to expand my business. Your videos are very helpful man. Keep it up. I’m like you, I started off buying a Epson DTG f2000. I had it less than 6 months before I ended up selling it. Way too expensive and high maintenance. Most of my ink was used for cleaning instead of printing. Don’t even get me started on the pre treatment, $5000 for that machine.
Been there, I know your pain. It really does suck, but it's a part of the learning process, I suppose... lol, I'll see if I can get a hold of all of the transfer types.
Hustle Ninjas not even all the media types but I’m just curious because you mention about there being a better quality A-B transfer papers that cost more. I’m curious if those feel less paper like. I know some of them are crazy expensive like $8 a sheet from uninet.
The "Jack of all trades" talk is so true. I learned this in my early 20s in different workplaces. The ones who tried to make things work taking on the responsibilities of 2-3 different positions were usually the most frustrated workers. I remember them not being happy, super stressed, and end up quitting sooner or later...
I started cutting/pressing HTV since 2014 and feel like i've mastered it. Now I want to stop outsourcing for full color prints and do it myself. Any suggestions?
Look into DTF, it's the new full color transfer craze.. I'm not too well experienced in it yet. I use a white toner printer, but quality isn't as great as DTF.
@@HustleNinjas thank you! Keep up the great work with these videos bro
would you recommend the cricut explore air 2 to start the business? and what brand would you recommend for heat press?
Very good advice, thank you!
Can you do heat transfer with a house printer that is lazy jet
I've been looking at HP laser printers that cost around 250-350 bucks, then you got to buy the ghost white toner cartridge and then the forever paper which is quite expensive. Would you recommend that or go down the vinyl route?
Great videos!! Quick question got a budget of 2 grand for a vinyl cutter and heat press which would you recommend for a home start up ?? Thank you.
Hey Rich,
Thanks for the video. Quick question, I'm just getting into the tshirt design business and I wanted to know what's the best affordable printer for heat transfer vinyl? Thanks in advance
Great topic/info/advice. 👍👍
For black shirts what’s the best way?
Keep it up! Good content.
Great video, just a heads up tho its cartridge not cartilage thats the tissue in ur body.
Appreciate that! Excuse me.. haha
Bro, straight up... You're a good looking dude. Came for the content, stayed for the face.
But thanks for the info!
gayyyy
@@daboyzay__ suuper gaaayy
I want to sell 300 t-shirt in one day. So, what process should I go for. Please suggest.
Thank you. Awesome video !
Hey Rich! I just purchased the 800w, but have a lot of questions about the printing and pressing process. I've burned through several transfers already and don't wanna waste more. Do you have any tutorials or resources on how I can print an image starting with file/graphics creation to final results.
Closest thing I have right now is this video:
ruclips.net/video/QASAkGs7LK0/видео.html
Start around 2:15
I LOVE your videos bro Can I pay for a 1 on 1 tutorial?
exaclty i Need the same that would so awesome
i live in Clarksville TN i could travel out there or even an online 1 on 1
What is the most necessary equipment on the beginning of tshirt business?
Depends on the business model you want to venture into
@@HustleNinjas I just want do skript art with vinyl print
@@HustleNinjas I just wanna begin with heat press
Thanks ❤️from 🇰🇪
What’s the Cheapest price for Pro club t shirts in bulk Does anyone know
What is a good program/software to use to start of to get cool fonts n designs?any help would be much appreciated
Photoshop, illustrator
@@HustleNinjas what kinda lap top would you suggest to start of with?are those programs for only a apple device or any?
Hi Rich! I'm ready to buy my first piece of equipment. What should I buy. Im interested in Submation & heat press?
Depends on the garments that you want to make. Dye-sub, you can do full color, but only on light color shirts and certain blends.
how can i make this business stand out is doing the same thing? How can it be successful any tips ?
Hi Hustle, I have been watching a lot, your videos are helping me to start in this world.
I wanted to bother you a few seconds of your time if you can get me a doubt.
I want to buy a a white toner printer machine.
With this type of machine and Transfer FOREVER is it possible to print full color images or does it require a lot of work to make full color images?
ruclips.net/video/QASAkGs7LK0/видео.html
You can watch the process in that video, it starts around 2:15.
It can be difficult if you're completely new, but over time gets easier.
The white toner printer I have is made by Uninet and you must use Uninet's line of transfer paper instead of the forever paper.
@@HustleNinjas Thanks man! Love u, I really appreciate your response. it help me alot. I keep watching your videos over and over again
Hi rich. Great videos. Bought a cameo 4 and i saw this video hahahah
Keep it up...
What vinyl are you using most of the time?
Thanks
Richard from the philippines!!!
Btw... cant see your merch in the links
siser easyweed
I notice no one mentions heat transfer paper/iron on paper when talking about heat transfers. Are these obsolete or frowned upon?? Thanks.
People talk about it.
Rich I just discovered you and your videos. So far I like what I see. A while back I was interested in starting a t-shirt business but I didn't. I think I need to take a course like yours but you don't take PayPal. I really want your course. Why don't you take PayPal??
Hey Fred, I'll look and see if I can integrate it.
@@HustleNinjas Thank you very much Rich.
Thank you
what's your suggestion for phone case printing?
wilton yu laser or dye sublimation
thank you so much
My main problem is figuring out why it is so hard to get a decent printer that can print white toners. Man i dont want to spend 5000 and then not get any sales.
Go with a cheaper print method first, build sales, then invest in a white toner printer later.
@@HustleNinjas Thanks man, I have a WF-7720 on back order but I already feel like its not going to be good enough. Until then ill keep watching content and learning.
@@vanateecustomprints6399 I would advise you to go this route. That's how I started! I started with print on demand. Than I bought my first heat press with plastisol transfers. I upgraded the press. I added a vinyl cutter later, than I added a cap press. Furthermore I bought a Sawgrass to get into sublimation and my latest upgrade is a Adkins swing away heat press to start with white toner. I don't have the Uninet icolor yet, but I have started with a regular black and white toner printer & using uninets presto paper. This paper is white toner in 1 solid color (white, or gold for example) and in combination with my Adkins swing away I can do very detailed designs & print on demand way easier than the vinyl cutter. I'm planning purchasing the icolor 600 when I have the budget
@@leonmakest-shirts Hey Leon, Thanks for your advice. I am actually doing print on demand already, I dont have any customers yet but hopefully because I am still building the website. I got a pretty nice heat press I'd say,
I'm not sure what you are advising me to do with the plastisol transfers.??? Also I've never heard of black and white toner printer, can you tell me which one you use ? I also dont understand about the paper either so let me look that up today.
@@vanateecustomprints6399 you can order plastisol transfers of your designs from various places on the internet or possibly local screen printing shops. It's pretty much they screen print your design on transfer paper and you heat press it onto the shirts. I have had no luck in decent pricing for small orders with a good amount of colors. But depends on what you're trying to do. A couple of colors and 50+ transfers maybe more affordable in the beginning than a white toner printer. It all depends.
True knowledge, I have learned most of them, but it took a lot of time, but he's absolutely right, I should have mastered the sells first but it's coming!!!!!
Question: watching some of your videos you have said you use or used amazon, etsy, etc. For selling. How do you go about operating on multiple platforms when it comes to taxes? Are you lumping it all into one llc or how does that work?
LLC, TaxJar, CPA
@@HustleNinjas thanks man. I'd love to see a video where you talk about all of this. How you combine multiple platforms in one llc and use taxjar etc.
@@jordanrose9660 It's been requested a bit, but I'm no expert in the tax field, I'd have to see if my CPA would be willing to get on camera one day. Lol
this video was done on my bday 8/30
Thanks very helpful and informative.
