A screen printing business can be started with a minimal investment in training and equipment. While this is true for small operations, large commercial and industrial screen print shops require a substantial equipment and facility investment and years of experience. You must first decide on the type and scope of your business, and instigate the different equipment and product types. Screen printing, also known as "silk screening," is sometimes considered a hobby business for T-shirt and poster printing, but on the commercial and industrial level, the equipment, supplies, and techniques are very different from the familiar hinged-screen tabletop process.
It is relatively cheap to open a screen printing business. The specialized printer you need can typically costs $10,000 or less; the supplies you need to start, including many shirts to print on, can typically be obtained for less than $5,000. GHDSPORTSAPK
