Every question you can possibly have about screen printing is answered in this book. All though we had ordered this book and through a series of events we got it over a month late.We purchased other screen printing books while we waited. We could not actually start till this one arrived. It helped tremendously. It is thorough . The other books were nice, pretty pictures, high art books I am sure they will be inspirtational. But if you are begining ,pay the extra to get this book. If you only buy one book , buy this book. Sorry to all the other authors. This book even deals with the actual buisness.

If you wanted to learn how to screenprint for either a hobby or for a business venture, STOP!! Look no further than this book. This is the most comprehensive book I have ever read dealing with the business of screenprinting. Not only does this book give a fantastic overview of how to screenprint, it also contains examples of forms, blueprints for making a 4-color machine, sample store set-ups, how to market...you name it!! It is worth every penny and then some.
This book has it all: how to print, how to market and sell

I recently had the opportunity of attending one of the seminars taught at U.S. Screen Printing Institute, in Tempe, AZ, the company whose founder (Scott) wrote this book. It was there that I got my hands on this book. The book totally takes you through the ins and outs of printing T-Shirts, whether you want to do it (as the title says) for fun or as a serious business. It not only discusses the technical part in enough detail: it also goes into the marketing and sales of your product. Scott has shared in this book (and all the products he offers) his knowledge and experience of over 25 years in this industry, so that all who are considering taking it seriously as a business don't fall in the same pitfalls he went through. So: don't waste your time and money. Get yourself a copy of this great book. It's worth every penny you will pay for it and more!

Don't waste your time with other books. Read this first! I screwed around with other books, and even a few video tapes before running across this. I underestimated the book at first (mainly due to the title-it sounded to me like one of those "I'll show you how to make money!" garbage books) But, I was presently surprised, and my shirts didn't turn out well until I read this. It is written by Scott Fresener who is one of the industry's leaders, and he also runs a screen printing school in AZ. Many of the other books I've seen are on a craft level, or talk about ways of doing things that are from the 70's and way out of date.This book will give you a good overview of the whole process, equipment used and your options at several price levels (home made to large production), and even has plans to make your own press. It is a valuable resource that will save you lots of time and money.
Don't attempt it yourself without shirts, ink, or this book!
