Smile Interested in Starting a Silk Screening Buisniess

Was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to find info. about starting a silk screening Business.

I am a graphic designer in Michigan and am looking to start a business in my basement. I do TONS of designs for clients and figure instead of paying someone else to do the printing I could become an all in one operation. We have a local screen business that is difficult to work with - so local businesses are anxious for something new!

ANY info. (costs, equipment, advice, etc.) would be GREATLY appreciated!
