When we were in little league, our coaches always had a white board with a layout of the game field that showed us our play, where each player should go and what we should do. As our company has grown, I started thinking about how we could more simply communicate with our team when things change.…
Welp, we made this mistake again. Using a low bleed ink when we didn’t need to and then hot stacking hundreds of shirts led to the back of one shirt bleaching out the front of the shirt it was laying on top of. We ruined about 500 shirts before realizing our mistake. Make sure to use…
Kornit decided to throw a big party at Kornit Fashion Week in Los Angeles this year and they made quite the impression. Over the week they threw several parties serving delicious beverages and VIP dinners with great food. There were several keynote talks and a tour of Denim FWD. We arrived in time for a happy…
Sometimes you have too much work to do and in order to move fast, you cut corners. You get a couple thousand shirts at the dock, you don’t feel like you have time to count it and then the customer picks it up before you get your final counts. Now the customer gets back to you…

Four years ago a group of ten screen printers and Ryonet’s Ryan Moor set out on a mission to make a better t-shirt. It all started with job creation…
Most of us are hurting right now. The past 2 weeks have been devastating in so many ways. We have laid people off, looked the screen printing grim reaper in the eye, or even worse, have seen loved ones getting sick. Last Friday a large storm rolled through Fort Worth and a lighting strike hit…
The big shops are competing with the little shops and the mid size shops are competing with the titans of the industry. How does this all shake out? I often see the ads posted online with prices on shirts that I cannot understand. You know when you see a price chart that makes no…
Do you ever have that problem where a print randomly comes out of registration? You make adjustments to your micro registration and just keep chasing the problem in circles. Maybe a screen ripped?
