heat press or starter kit for starters

[LushesFaith]

So I have been pondering getting a starter kit from sublibanks after watching a few reviews but its such a huge starting cost when I will still need to buy blank tees, labels etc . I am new to this.

SO do I go for the stater kits at £570 from sublibanks or this one on ebay 38x38 clam heat press from Industrysky on ebay £98 with 2 yrs warranty

Then just purchase a ricoh printer and sublimation inks etc.

I want to begin printing t-shirts and tote bags

Thoughts?

I would suggest that you don't buy a heat press for £98 as it will most likely barely be fit for use and a 2 year warranty sounds good in principle but you will have 2 years of miss prints due to pressure and heat inconsistency. The subliblanks starter kit looks like a reasonable set up, ricoh is the first choice for a bunch of us on here, texprint is a good paper and I have heard good things about the galaxy press. I assume its 570 before tax and postage also. I have made a post with a little advice for people wanting to start printing please give it a read might help to give perspective and help you decide http://www.dyesubforum.co.uk/vbforum/sh ... or-newbies
