Hey guys! First post here and I just thought I'd ask everyone's opinion.
Im looking to build onto an Epson P400 to complement my custom hat business. I keep getting asked questions for custom shirts and I feel like I'm really leaving money on the table when I turn them away. Ive tried Transfers after transfers but always got a cheap look and feel. I've tried screen printed plastisol transfers but customer service sucked and it takes forever and sublimation is very limited. I e looked into screen printing myself but I don't have pluming or the space in my garage work area. BUT I have space I could put a DTF printer!
So my shirt orders are going to be anywhere from 1-100 in quantity and probably a lot of single colors. Not looking to mass produce prints but I do want to be able to get those jobs for my existing customers.
So, what products would you recommend or wish you would have gone with before you started?
I can find the P400 pretty easy online so that's why I want to go with it and from what I read it can print fast. What about brand of film or a film roll, ink, adhesive powder, curing oven and the best rip software.
Thanks guys! Any info is much appreciated!!

@johnson4 thank you! I've been lurking here trying to read as much info as I can and I see you're the go to guy.
Is DTF superstore located in the US?
As far as software I was thinking Pixel Moshpit for art rasterizing in Photoshop and acroRip to send over to the P400.
What do you suggest?
