Yes. If you have little knowledge of t-shirt branding, you'll know that they're several methods of printing, and if you don't know SCREEN PRINTING you can't call yourself a t-shirt printer.
I learnt SCREEN PRINTING by myself!
But how did I start?

Screen printing is an art an a science! You have to understand how it works.

In 2017, I started selling branded tees but I had someone at Lagos design and print them for me. I am in Akwa Ibom, so doing that long distance plus the fact that people needed faster jobs made me want to do it by myself.
So I looked up on Google and YouTube how I can print by myself.
Meanwhile, one guy in Lagos I met at first told me of too many things I should buy if I'm to start branding myself.
It ran into 400k. It discouraged me then, because I didn't have to up 20k in my account then , so I used my knowledge of Google and YouTube to learn about tshirt branding.
I discovered that with the method of branding called screen printing, that I can start with as low as 10k at home. I doesn't require exorbitant set up to start. I was very happy.
With a mesh which cost between 1k and 2k depending on size and a few chemicals and inks you're good to go. I was happy and ready to start my journey on tshirt branding.

To start, I needed to just see someone that has done it to show me where to buy the materials cos I didn't know what kind of shop sells it. I checked at a stationery store, they didn't know anything I listed I wanted.

So one man directed me to a man doing post graduate program then at fine art (Uniuyo). I met him at Ibom hall where he was attending a program. He told me where to buy the materials at Abak road, and how to expose the mesh. (I credit him for giving me some ideas on how some things are applied here, that the videos I watched did not use such methods).

After buying everything, I took it home but by the time I exposed the first one, it was 3.30pm. it wasn't perfect. I cleaned the mesh and tried all over again, by the time I did the second time, the sun was down. It wasn't perfect because of that.

Next day I took what I did and showed him, he was impressed with what I did. That day he brushed me up. So in just a day I was good to go.

But to be sincere I wasn't perfect. Screen printing is what people take months to perfect. Some never perfect it.
So I used the following weeks to do lots of trial and errors.
I had my first printing job, and suffered so much. I didn't have anything to place the shirt on to print. I did it on the floor. Ink stained the some of the white shirts. I think I spoiled up to 5 tees.

The job had some issues. But to my surprise the guy did not complain about those issues after getting the job. But I kept desiring to perfect it.

Today I'm the best of my kind at screen printing.

I started with as low as 8k in 2017.

I had nothing then.
Today I have a shop,
Laptop,
Plotter,
Many tshirts for sale
A t-shirt printing table that I saw the design from videos and replicated.

I'll show pictures of my jobs

The chemicals are not applied on the tees but used in the process of making the mesh used for printing.

Well done bro. Following this thread

Why I want the US tees is because of the material.

Non shrinkage and Triblend material with Heather colours to choose from.

Looks like my story except, I don't have client yet, I somehow started branding t-shirts with this method, and I started with 2000 then for my "first" batch of 50+ shirts, in fact that was the firt ever I would brand, with any method. i was overjoyed it didn't wash, cos I used iron and A4 paper to cure it, we are still moving, it is hard but your story encourages me, no retreat no surrender.

I have a goal in mind.
