MAGIC Monday (again)

I’m here again at the SGIA Innovation Zone in Sourcing at MAGIC, part of MAGIC Market Week.  While the show begins officially tomorrow, Sourcing is live today and SGIA has, yet again, brought together an “A” team of decorators and technologies. I’ll be posting tomorrow and Wednesday from the show but for now here’s a look at the Innovation…

Web Wednesday: Teespring Goes Global

TechCrunch reported on Teespring’s latest acquisition of London-based Fabrily.  The acquisition allows the company, which is already growing at a staggering rate, to offer it’s services globally. PS: In case you didn’t know it, Teespring was established in 2011 (!)

Mis-Print Monday: Spoilage Management

What do you do with all those mis-prints and/or defects?  Most shops just turn them into test prints and then into rags, right?  What’s the matter with that?… As a contract decorator we have a responsibility to our customers to handle their product in a professional and accountable manner whether it’s before, during, or post production.…

Mis-Print Monday: I Don’t Think So…

Our customer had already paid to have this logo digitized and insisted that we use their DST file.  We rarely except DST files from our customers.  This is why… Needless to say, we did not proceed with production, opting instead to digitize in-house and provide our customer with a quality product to meet their expectation.  When…

Web Wednesday: InkMonk

While so many of us are consumed with the technical side of our craft it’s easy to lose sight of the business side.  If you haven’t noticed, the industry is changing. Checkout InkMonk

Image is Everything

Andre Agassi wasn’t kidding when when he said “image is everything”.  It was true for both Canon cameras and the man himself (oh those feathery locks).  In all seriousness though, the phrase truly does apply to screen-printing. This shirt is one that I include in presentations, simply to show our customers why we use so many…
