Screen Printing Startup Sets FAQ
Lawson Workhorse Group builds complete screen printing startup sets for every stage of growth—from home-based hobby shops to commercial print houses and schools. Each turn-key package is designed to help you start printing confidently on day one, with the right press, dryer, exposure unit, and support for your goals.
Q: Which startup set is right for a home-based business?
A: For garages, basements, and spare-room setups, the Hobby Start-Up Screen Printing Package or the Scout Start-Up Screen Printing Package are the best fit. They’re space-efficient, run on standard household power, and still deliver retail-quality prints.
Q: Do the startup kits include everything I need to start printing immediately?
A: Yes. Lawson startup sets bundle the key hardware you need — press, flash or conveyor dryer, and exposure unit — with screens, squeegees, starter inks, and stencil-making chemicals so you can begin printing as soon as the equipment is installed.
Q: Can I upgrade my equipment as my business grows?
A: Yes. Many shops start with a manual Beginner or Intermediate Start-Up Package and later move into Automatic Screen Printing Kits like the Mini-Max or Mini-Trooper as production volume increases.
Q: Does Lawson provide training and support for new printers?
A: Yes. Lawson offers in-person classes, virtual training, step-by-step documentation, and ongoing technical support. We cover shop setup, emulsion use, registration, and proper curing so beginners and growing shops can run their startup sets with confidence.
Q: Do you ship screen printing startup sets across the United States?
A: Yes. Lawson crates and ships complete startup packages nationwide from our St. Louis, Missouri facility, with support coordinated through our Atlanta office and satellite locations in Phoenix, Orlando, and Des Moines. We regularly supply equipment to shops, schools, and commercial print houses across the U.S.
