    I am getting ready to order heat press and some heat transfer papers for my inkjet printer (about 200 papers) to make t-shirts for my own and family using my brand logo (in my avatar) and sell some so to advertise my brand while at same time I got to thinking that I am considering to start a business to sell custom t-shirts and among others as a side job to get extra money.

    The heat press I am getting is coming with the other equipments (attachments) where I am able to make mugs, hats, and customize plates so that way I can have a better chance of selling in case if some one want a custom mug, or hat or a plate, or something instead of a t-shirt.

    So I am wondering if any one of you do like this? Running a business with heat press to make t-shirts and other stuff? If some of you do then is it fun making them and do a lot of people like them, personalized stuff instead of professional done by machines at some companies?

    If you have any advices, I would greatly appreciate them! If you have a idea what pricing for personalized t-shirt, hat, mug, purses, plates I would greatly appreciate it too.

    This isn't your geography, but it is a promotional products association that I am familiar with. Probably worth a quick perusal:

    Not too long ago, I led a sales team that sold internet marketing services to companies selling to other businesses. We had a ton of promotional products suppliers to target in this regard. There seemed to be several in every city/town we covered. Promotional products companies have been around for generations and it is a very mature market. I first bought promotional products, including mugs, tee shirts, caps back in the 1980's when I was first starting out in business.

    I feel like those abstract patterns of reality might be better, what do you think this type?
