Glad you're back Mart, thanks for all the help you've given me over the years, wouldn't be where i am today with the Tshirts if it wasn't for your guidance. A true legend and veteran of the industry

Nealy as good as mine lol

[@garethlages8355]

I can vouch for Jason. He’s made us some T-Shirts and Jumpers. The whole process was straight forward, excellent value and excellent quality. Won’t be going anywhere else for clothing and merchandise.

Good sound advice Martin .

OMG Gareth,

You are best to print your own merch as it gives you full control over quality

[@derwall2005]

Hi there, are the car signs on the wall ones that you have made? they look good, do you have a video on how to do those? Thanks

[@reviewthat]

No, I bought these.

[@lakishaholland1260]

Awesome info, I'm in the USA and I'm about to set up my KZbin channel & would like to make my own merchandise, t-shirts, mugs, bags, aprons, hoodies, lady leggings, pads, pillows etc. What machine do I need. Thank in advance.

Good one mate.. hope your doing ok.. I could do with a zip up one too..

Yes, I prefer them too Mick.

[@LAYTHOS666]

Martin love your vids very informative but I’m new to sublimation I do cricut vynil but trying this as a side line but I’m using a Mac what do you recommend software wise that’s easy and gonna do the job on mugs thanks in advance

[@reviewthat]

You can get old copies of Photoshop elements very cheap but it's all down to personal preference on how you want to manipulate photos. I use Photoshop CS3 and have done for years. I don't find the need to upgrade.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks! Can you recommend an online store for plain t-shirts? Thanks!

we used Absolute Apparel in the UK

What’s the best way to print on to T-shirt especially cotton

[@FlexMckenzie]

You can use HTV, Plastisol ink transfers, or Screen Print.

[@deanmelland8572]

Defo glad your back ive missed your guidance like crazy I don't listen to anyone else I have noticed at first you used the xp epson then you moved onto the recoh and you did a video of where your comparing 2 printers an ink jet printer and a laser printer I think it was by ghost im not to sure and your ink jet looked a better finish but now your using the laser printer by hp I no you'll have the perfect reason why you changed but I follow you to the letter and if your saying the hp your using is better then ill get me the same your work is awesome your a legend a true veteran of the industry I listen to everything you say and do

[@reviewthat]

We used an Epson 1500 with dye ink for t shirt transfers, A Ricoh (which is now the Virtuoso SG400) for sublimation. If I was buying a new t shirt printer now, I'd go for one of the Epson Eco Tank printers. The HP Laser I have now is what I use for printing on vinyls, for stickers.

Hi Martin Looking to buy some 2nd hand mug printing stuff there is a lot of choice Could you let me know which equipment to buy & ovoid Cheers steve

[@reviewthat]

Cheap unbranded stuff you should avoid or those multi presses that do mugs and t shirts.

[@Driven247]

Really need help, I have bought a used heat press for £100, I have both cold print clothing vinyl and hot print, sometimes the vinyl wants to stick and sometimes it doesn’t! Been trying for over a month now! I’m doing it hotter now so 200 degrees, surely it’s got to be my heat press? It’s like sometimes the stuff sticks perfectly, other times it won’t and I’ve then wasted good T-shirt’s! Would really appreciate your reply as I’m struggling!

[@reviewthat]

The heat press is probably a cheap one bud. You'll need a quality press to stop this happening bud.

[@caileanmoore2835]

Seems a shame that you've stopped doing your tee shirts after being so successful. Is this permanent? There's a few other tee shirt regulars on KZbin who've also jacked it in. I was thinking about starting it up as a small part time business having come from a litho printing background printing paper products, but now I'm not so sure. Like litho printing, the tee shirt business seems saturated and there's loads of people doing it, some are charging ridiculously low prices as well. Hope to see you back sometime making tee shirt videos and I wish you all the best for the future.

[@reviewthat]

I was doing it for 13 years Cailean. I didn't stop because it was saturated, there is plenty of work out there. We had loads of customers and KZbin channel owners is a great way to pick up trade. I stopped to concentrate on my restoration channels.

No worries Jason, All the best bud.

[@TardisMarch]

Hi Martin, amazing videos, how many KZbin channels do you have, sorry just want to be sure I've subbed to all of them lol :) Also I know Teesping is super expensive, when you say the you don't rate the quality do you mean like the printing is bad like does it peel off, like some cheap tshirts sorry, I've not bought anything from there so I don't know. take care

[@reviewthat]

I have 4 channels Joe, the print quality wasn't good on the items I bought from them.

[@TardisMarch]

@@reviewthat Oh ok, I've subscribed to all of them I thought you had like 6 channels or something lol, Was the printing faded. Some other company's are like that though what about Spreadshirt?

[@majkimajk81]

Thanks mate

[@Falney]

"Don't fall for the trap and buy a cheap heat press" If you are in the position where you can either buy a cheap heat press and start now or an expensive one in 3 months time, would you still say to wait? I am trying to start a business on Universal Credit and an expensive press would wipe out my entire food bill as well as my fun money.

[@neilvaughan5176]

hi martin i brought a galaxy heat press and printer as I have done your online course. I am having trouble deciding on what t shirts I have looked at many do I go for the heavy cotton or value weight or the original fruit of the loom? which is best thanks neil

[@reviewthat]

We always used Gildan G5000 from Absolute Apparel.

[@michaelharrison8295]

Hi Martin I'm been looking at your printing KZbin channel for sometime now but it's a bit scary to start into the printing business with so many printing people out there

[@reviewthat]

Not really bud. If you want to give something a go, treat it as a hobby.

[@MrHowardMoon]

From your experience, what heat press and printer should I buy to start making and selling my own t-shirts? I don't want to buy a cheap one as it's just false economy.

[@reviewthat]

A stahls heat press is a great start. I would also go for one of the Eco Tank Epson printers.

Yes if you have the customer base. I know someone who earn't £40,00 in their first year. Its not easy though from a standing start.
