A Personal Note From Jonathan:
The equipment listed on this page is here first and foremost for your educational purposes. Many people have asked me about the costs of equipment. The products listed below are for your education, consideration and reference. This equipment has the base functions I would recommend balanced with price. There are many offers for startup kits on the internet. In my opinion it is better to buy quality, durable equipment that will grow with you. Be careful that all inclusive kits have decent equipment. Some do, many don’t. Be especially watchful of imported kits. Quality should be preferred over quantity.
I hope the information below helps you in any manner. If you are looking for more than what is listed below or something not seen here, please contact me using the Contact Us from. I would be more than happy to source anything you may need for screen printing. Questions are also welcome.
Please make sure you are seriously interested in starting a screen printing business before you proceed any further. Catspit Productions is not trying to take advantage of the startup printer. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I will answer your questions in detail whether or not you are considering a purchase. My main goal is to provide you with free advice and information about screen printing.
