Biker t shirts

My husband and I are starting a small screen printing business and we decided to start small with some used equipment. We bought an used PRESS A PRINT screen printer, (yes, now I know that we will probably be outgrowing this very quickly) But anyway, we are not about to pay the $10K for the Press A Print membership privilege to be a part of their team for support, etc. :mad:

We have found other ways of getting around some equipment, but we need the Pin registrations for the screens. Was wondering if anyone could help us out with purchasing them or if anyone has any ideas of what we can use.

We also bought a QM7 pad printer from them and the person we bought them from said everyone was included but was not true. We are missing a few items, that are very important to using the machine.

1. The training DVD's from both the screen printer and QM-7 pad printer.
2. The QM-7 pin registration table (it is impossible to print 3D objects without it)
3. The QM-7 contact frame (the unit required for holding plates during exposure).
4. The initial plates themselves that are included in the QM-7 package for emulsion/ image development

IF ANYONE CAN HELP, we really appreciate your kindness.:)

I live in Costa Rica, I have a home combo, have had for years actually on my second one wore the first one out. I am teaching myself digitizing doing well. I now want to buy an industrial machine and wondering what machine might be best for me. I am thinking single head or 2 to begin with. I know I would need more than six needles or threads. For tech support is a must being here in CR. Any help or advice is apperciated. Thanks Sandy

I know this is not dye sub but i am not sure of the right place to post this.

Is anyone using the new
Chromablast GX7000 System

I have a gx7000 dye sub system but i see they have a version that is Chromablast for cotton shirts.

I have not found a single review on this yet from someone using this system every day making shirts.

This is pointed out to be a new version of the ink just for the GX7000 and works better then how it did in the Epson's

Is anyone using this?
I would love to be able to make color on cotton Ts.
How is the quality?
If i take a design from my dye sub version i have of the GX7000 and printed it on the Chromablast version would i get the same great quality on the cotton shirt looking as vibrant and good as my dye sub version?

Is Chromablast with the GX7000 any better then just using pigment ink and some of the newer inkjet papers and a Epson?

The Chromablast looks like it cost a lot for the paper and ink so what i save on not using a Poly shirt and using cotton with end up almost as much from the paper and ink cost is that right.? i would hope not

What is the full cost to print a 10x10 area on a shirt.

Say the cotton shirt cost $1.50 then what will the ink and paper cost to make the shirt.

A vapor printed Lady's T cost around $6.50 or so

What will a Chromablast version cost using a $1.50 shirt?
Would be great if it would be in the $3 range less then half of the dye sub version.


But we are using a lot of the lady's Gildan soft style shirts and they cost $325 and even more for a light color. So if the Chromablast cost a lot for each shirt then they could end up costing as much as a Vapor dye sub lady's T or babydoll T.
If i could get this to like $425 all done that would be great by using CB saving $2.25 over the poly version.

Would need to sell around 650 or so shirts to pay for the Chromablast system saving the $2.25 on each one over the vapors.

I am pricing my shirts now and a extra $2.25 added to the price of the shirt looks like a lot when selling on a website.

Going to sell my vapor Ts for $22 but that would look a lot better to the customer at $19.99 for a 100% cotton shirt.
