Since every T-shirt shop in town now has a plotter. I'm doing some research into adding screen printed T-shirts to my business. I already have the book "How to print T-shirts for Fun & Profit".
What I would like to know is are there any other books, vidoes, websites, etc... where I can learn a little bit more before I jump off in the deep end?
Thanks for any help and/or suggestions.

The best book on screenprinting shirts hasn't been written, but it's author is David Butler. He's been doing some beautiful work for many years.

Hey Coop, screenprinting decals would be cheaper for you to get into. You wouldn't need to invest in an expensive dryer like you need for textiles (nor a huge automated press to actually turn a profit) because the inks are designed to air dry.
You could actually get setup to print decals pretty dang inexpensively and you could at least test it out to see if you like the screenprinting process before going full bore into a textile setup.

Hi Coop, I could safely email this note to you, but I'll post it here instead, and hope I don't get into trouble for it! This link goes to a vaguely similar 'beginning screenprinting' question on another forum, but the answers & links above are the best! here
