Section D – Conclusion

The author, (that’s me!) and teeshirtprinters.com hope you’ve found this tutorial useful. The world of screen printing garments is an exciting one. There are few business opportunities that require such a small initial investment, that have such a return on hard work and commitment, and produce as many ‘ooh’s and ‘aah’s as screen printing. If you stick to it, offer fair prices, and focus on customer service and quality, there is almost no reason at all that you won’t be a successful screen printer.

Most large shops grew out of someone’s apartment, or spare room, or garage. Most of the people I have met in the screen printing industry have told me they started doing it part time, and went full time into screen printing when they realized they couldn’t afford to go to work any more!

You may not get rich, but screen printing is an industry that truly gives you back what you put into it. We wish you good luck and the best of success in the exciting field of screen printing!
