We're often asked this question and as promised, here are the basics!

Machines. Currently in the market (I'm actually selling a package ) are China made. Don't be put off by that. I have been selling them for almost two years already and so far, no mishaps yet. I am no authority on US Made Machines, so you'll have to look to other sources for 1st hand information on that.

Paper. My husband always says, "You've got to know your machine". I say, You've got to know your paper. Finding the best (and again, mostly I'm referring to China papers, ok?) , is like sifting thru a sackful of sand. Buy samples (please don't ask it for free, sellers need to live too. ) and properly label every test. When you find the one, you've got 50% of the challenge solved.

Printer. You've got the goods, now you can print your design. Two years ago, I have searched high and low for a C86 which is the recommended printer from US T-shirt Heat Pressers. Well, conclusion is, no C86 here. I'm using C90 with CISS with pigment (something like Durabrite) ink. So far, so good. Can withstand up to 30 washes. Handwashed. Dye has better color but can only last about 15 washes.

T-shirt. You can choose the custom made route or start out with Blanks from Divisoria. Scour Juan Luna St. for your shirts. Look out for Whistler, Softex, Lifeline, Novo, Blue Corner.

Graphics Manipulation Software. Well of course you can just grab from the net or insert your picture from your camera and you're set to go but if you're going for the professional touch, try to learn Adobe Photoshop or Corel. For tutorials, there are a lot of basic tutorials on the net. Just Google "tutorial photoshop".

Hope that helps! Till next time!

Let this motivate you in whatever you do.

What do you want to do in your life that you are waiting for the right situation?

It's definitely something that you want that you don't have.

The big question is - What is it that you are waiting for?You are waiting for something. What is it?

We suggest that you identify it by writing it down.

And based on what you have identified, what are the chances of that happening in the next year or millennium?

And.... What would happen if you went for it right NOW?

Please think about it.

You might make mistakes. You might not get what you want right away.

There will be bumps along the way BUT... there will be a lot more than what you got going now.

So... Just start! Do it! and make corrections along the way!

You'll be amazed at how much you have accomplished afterwards because you took action.

If you want to start a business, START NOW!

Ignore the BS that is going on in your mind like:
I will start the business...
Once I get the capital I need.
Once we get the brochure out.
Once we get the office set up.
Once I get a bonus.
Blah blah blah!

I sincerely want to let you know that YOU are worth more than what your company is paying you.
