This review is from: The T-Shirt Revolution: Building Your Business Using a Digital Apparel Printer (Paperback)

I got into garment decorating years ago with embroidery. More and more of my customers have wanted shirts that are embroidered AND printed. I've had to field out this work to other people, and it takes away from my profits. So I decided to get into printing myself. I had no idea where to start so I started researching. This book was the end-all, go-to book for my research. It told me everything I needed to know.

I really liked this book. I've been a screenprinter for years and was looking for a way to meet smaller orders. It answered all my questions and gave solid information about digital printing. Definitely recommend for screenprinters looking to expand their business to digital printing.
