Title: Amazon enters the merchandise business
Post by: jvieira on January 13, 2016, 11:27:14 AM

Not sure if it's news for a lot of people here, but as more and more screen printers buy in to the DTG market, this should be something to consider.

Interesting. Kind of like Teespring but with Amazon shipping/fulfillment. We'll see how this plays out. No quantity discounts and Amazon gets 66% of your sales price. No idea how that compares to Teespring.

Amazon owns woot and apparently woot has been using Kornit for a while so I don't know if they're really entering the business. Expanding it is probably the better term. I'm sure they got those DTGs cheaper but it is like $400k. Wowzers.
