Misprint Monday – 15K Missing T’s

Tulowitzki not Tulowizki. I feel for the artist, printer, loader, unloader, folder, boxer… and especially the owner of the shop that printed 15,000 shirts incorrectly for the Colorado Rockies jersey giveaway. The baseball team isn’t doing well, and the promotion didn’t do well either. I do not know a printer that has not printed some…

Domingo Gigante – Evite Reglas!

Torcido un diseño, fuera del centro, demasiado bajo correcto, demasiado alto o rotada o izquierda? Si usted está preguntando por ella, probablemente se trata de un rechazo. Si dejas que algo va a través y el cliente obtiene una regla, ya está resuelto para. Camisas son hechas por seres humanos reales en directo y la…

Minimum Wage Art

Bob “Smitty” Smith has an “enterprise” he calls Minimum Wage Art. A few examples follow: – a great shirt design of his that we print is a map of North America titled “Indian Territory.” Search around the web and you can see Willie Nelson, Johnny Depp and a few other characters wearing it. – a…

A Visit to Another Kitchen

Sometimes I like to check out other Kitchens online. One of my favorites is Thug Kitchen. It’s my go-to source for vegan recipes full of attitude. Depending on your workplace it may be NSFW (Not Safe For Work) due to what some may consider improper language, in large fonts. It’s totally safe and appropriate for…

TBT – Process Master, Andy Anderson.

Andy Anderson is a screenprinter in located in Nashville, TN. His process prints are as good as they get, and they have been great for a long, long time. My shop mostly does simulated process. We originally did that because we found it so difficult to do traditional CMYK printing. Andy does it the old…

Web Wednesday – Crookedbrook.com

In my travels on the web, I ran into crookedbrook.com  I love the work that they do and I absolutely flipped for this great line on their site: “If your only concern is “how much per thousand stitches?” let’s not waste each others time. Search engine results pages are full of companies that offer “Discount Custom…

Garret Kaule – Enthusiastic Screenprinter

Garrett Kaule is one energetic dude. He prints and prints and when he isn’t printing he is communicating. He has a lot to say to his customers in the Pittsburgh area, and he communicates like crazy with his screenprinting brothers and sisters. He’s the straw that stirs the drink.  We love his enthusiasm. We asked…

Misprint Monday – Avoid Rulers!

Is a design crooked, off center, too low, too high or rotated right or left? If you are asking about it, probably it is a reject. If you let something go through and the customer gets a ruler out, you are done for. Shirts are made by real live humans and printing (and loading) is…

No tires esa tinta de descarga

Dos trucos que ayudan con esto: 1. Puedes mezclar todas las tintas de colores que necesitas pero espera hasta el último minuto para añadir la tinta de descarga. Si tienes un proyecto largo añade el agente sólo a la cantidad de tinta que vas a usar el primer día. 2. Esa tinta de descarga funciona…

Don’t Toss that Discharge Ink

Discharge ink has a “pot life” of only four to six hours. Once you add the discharge agent, the chemical ZFS that makes the shirt discharge, you can only use that ink for so long before it no longer will discharge. Two tricks that help with this. 1. You can mix up all the colored…
