Are there any simple home screen printers that aren't terrible? I want to start making custom designed T-shirts for local bands I support but I'm only seeing negative reviews on everything.

-Create a design that you want to put on a shirt
-Make design opaque
-Go out buy a screen from your local hobby store or make your own
-Get Emulsion
-Use some degreaser (i use simple green) on the screen, wash out and dry
-Apply emlusion to screen
-Burn your opaque image to screen
-Wash screen out
-Grab screen cleaner and soak screen and wash all the emulsion out because you either burned the image to little or too much
-GO BACK TO FIRST STEP
-Burn the image again with out messing up
-Place ink on screen
-Screen ink on product, be unsatisfied... Start over, this time using trial and error to hone your craft.
-Overcharge everyone, once you realize how stupidly easy it is to print.
-use google
