It all depends on the type of printing you are looking for as to you who chose to do business with. To gage the type of printer you need would first depend on your art work. If you only have a rough idea as to what you want then you need someone with a graphic artist or if you know what you want and have the art complete, with all color separations and traps completed then you need someone that can print the amount of colors you need. If you are looking to get four color process t-shirts then you will have to be picky about who you use as this type of screen printing requires more knowledge. The best place for you to learn is take take a trip to a local shop and have them explain the processes of screen printing that they can do. Most shops will know of someone that will be able to fulfill any needs that they can not preform in-house.

Good luck
