Is there a way to print you own graphics on decks with an OK result without having equipment thats very expensive?
Please let me know if you can help...

you could try the heat transfers from walmart print it on there and iron it on the deck.
no seriously though it takes alot of time and money to do it. |

Actually, the rigs to print are mostly handmade, hand stretched silks, that are either glued or stapled. The art is equally important as the skill and technique to print consistently.
1. Outsourcing will always beat the cost of setting up your own rigs and will bypass the learning curve.
2. If you plan to bring printing in house then all you need is cash to get set up and a lot of patience if you've ever yet to silkscreen.
3. Hire someone else that has the knowledge or skills required.
Otherwise, if you just planning on buying blanks, silkscreening/heat transferring graphics then well you either must have the equipment, the skills but just the same some amazing artwork to put on each deck. |
