The answer to this comes by answering a series of questions, in a very specific order. This will help you make the best decision that will lead you towards the road of success. Rather than starting your journey by picking a machine or technology, then choosing a brand. You should consider what machines best suit your t-shirt printing business (or any customization business). Although t-shirts are the most popular, today’s printer technology can be used to customize a wide range of items such as mugs, cases, keychains and so much more.
This is the most important question to consider when choosing a t-shirt printing machine. You should understand who you want to target and what you want to sell. This will help narrow your choices and make sure the technology you choose suits your business needs. When this idea first came into your head it probably started with one of these two things.
Start off by writing down a few sentences on one (or both) of these questions. Once you know who or what, you can move on to question two.
Examples:
Now you have a better understanding of what product or group of people you want to sell. The next question is what technology will allow you to accomplish your goal. This is important because the technology you choose will ultimately help determine your success. Many people get the idea of a technology they have heard about, but it’s actually not ideal for their customer.
Here are some popular technologies and what they can offer your business.
With this technology, you can get vivid colors for both hard goods and apparel, including polyester and light-colored fabrics. These transfers are created by using a special ink and paper that ‘sublimates’ or ‘transfers’ from the paper to your blank good with heat and pressure.

Before you start looking for a t-shirt printing machine or other technology, it’s important to consider how much you will need to produce in a day or week. This will help you determine the size and type of t-shirt printing machine that best fits your needs. For instance, if you plan on printing t-shirts part time, for small businesses, you may find that your goal is to sell 50 shirts a week. In this case, a printer that is small would fit your needs. Conversely, if you are working with a school that you know orders at least shirts a month, then you need to make sure the time you are working can handle doing 250 shirts a week (in the time you plan on working.)
If we break down a specific example.
You plan to work part time, 10 hours a week on a side hustle. You are thinking you will spend 5 hours a week making shirts and 5 hours a week talking to customers and doing paperwork. Your goal is to sell 50 shirts a week for this side hustle. Thus, you will need to be able to make 10 shirts an hour, which is reasonable for most technologies. Now if that goal were to double or triple, you would need to make sure the machine or technology could handle that extra throughput.
In conclusion, when looking for a t-shirt printer, consider the size of your printer. Generally speaking, larger printers will give you faster production.
How much are you willing or able to invest?
Your budget will play a role in deciding what type of t-shirt printing machine you can get. Larger and more versatile machines tend to be a larger investment but can do a lot more for your business. A larger investment could help you produce a more versatile product line, or faster production. This is great for a growing business, yet there is risk involved as you have to get the business up and running. Many people wish they would have gone bigger or better after a short period of time, so think through what you are willing to do to get your business going.
The great news with all of this is that financing is available for almost all equipment packages, so not all the money has to come out of your pocket at once. Both start-ups and existing businesses can finance equipment with all types of options including deferred payments or potentially 0% financing.

After considering your daily or weekly production needs, the space you have available, and how much you are willing to invest in a t-shirt printing machine, it’s time to make a decision. Many businesses are able to find the perfect t-shirt printing machine for their needs without much difficulty.
For example, if you need to produce 50 shirts a week on a part-time basis and have relatively limited space, then a compact toner printer may be the best option. This type of printer will allow you to produce small, unique designs quickly and efficiently.
On the other hand, if you need to produce more than 250 shirts a week and have access to a larger space for your business, then you might want to consider going with something that’s a larger investment to reach your business goals.
Further if you want to produce mugs and shirts, you will want to consider a sublimation printer and heat press, which can handle both products.
Remember that the best printer for your business is a question for you to answer. It might not be the same as someone says online or a friend did for their business. Your individual ideas and goals are unique and so is the best printer for your business.

When deciding to use digital printing or offset printing it’s important to understand their strengths and weaknesses. Offset printing is often used for jobs that require a higher volume or larger paper sizes. Digital printing requires less set up, so unit price stays generally consistent, making it more cost effective for jobs that require less volume. Digital printing also provides the option for variable data printing.

A more detailed list of terms can be found in the full Ultimate Guide To Buying Print.
Realistic expectations need to be set before you order a print job. Working with a customer service representative can go a long way in helping you understand the cost associated with ordering print and the quality you can expect from your final product. Some things to always keep in mind when considering cost are:
Your first step should be establishing a print goal, determining what exactly you expect to gain from your print job will allow you to make informed decisions. Are you trying to generate more leads? Connecting with current clients? Promoting a new product?
Once you have established your goal, your next step will be deciding which product will help you reach it. Even if you have a print product in mind you should still contact a customer service representative that can inform you about products you may not know about and provide you with some tips on how to make your print more effective.
If your print job requires artwork, and most do, it is very important that you understand the technical requirements of the images you provide your printer. The better quality image you provide the better your final product will look. It is essential to understand the importance of dot per inch (DPI), providing your printer with the correct size image, and accounting for bleed room.
Because art files have a major impact on the results of your print work, you may want to consider hiring a graphic designer.
One of the most important steps in the printing process is proofing. Before your print job goes into production your printer will provide you with a digital print or ship you a physical one for an added cost. It’s extremely important that you look over your proof thoroughly and check for any mistakes or inconsistencies in the print. This is your last chance to make corrections before your print job goes to press.
It’s vital that you know printers don’t check for everything during the proofing process. It's your responsibility to make sure the proofs are correct. Printers may catch glaring mistakes, but even that’s not guaranteed. Instead, It is your responsibility to check your work and catch errors before approving it.
Please note: Turnaround time begins only AFTER you approve your proof, please see our turnaround time page for further details.
After your print job is completed it will be distributed according to your instructions. Some printers have in house mail centers and some send it to a third-party business. When the printer mails on your behalf, you’re in charge of paying the postage and shipping fees. You may also choose to have your print job shipped directly to your offices and distribute them as you see fit. Make sure you establish post production goals with your printer to ensure your product finds the best home.
