Again, prior to moving forward with the Limited Edition line, I wanted to make sure I wasn't in over my head and would actually be able to produce 50 t-shirts with my homemade screen printing press. I had to move the press out of the walk-in closet and take over some other area in the house. I built a new work table and a rolling t-shirt cart with a screen storage/drying rack. Once my work station was set, I printed 50 "All-Star" Street Hockey tees for the upcoming tournament. The printing process went very well. However, I had not purchased a flash dryer to cure the ink on the shirts. I ended up using my clam shell heat press which actually did the trick. Luckily I was using water based ink. I don't think it would have worked on plastisol ink. A flash dryer purchase would definitely be a necessity in order to produce the Limited Edition line of tees.
