Imprimir sobre el cuello de una camiseta de cuello de pico puede ser problemático, “trouble” como dice la camiseta. Un diseño ideal seria uno de cobertura baja o moderada, con medios tonos, de aspecto desgastado sobre una prenda ligera de cuello a la caja. En este caso el usar District DT161 marca la diferencia al…
Printing off the collar on a v-neck tee can be, as this graphic reads, “trouble”. An ideal graphic, ie: low to moderate coverage, halftone, or distressed, a lightweight garment with a flat collar (in this case District DT161 makes all the difference as does a low viscosity ink (in this case Rutland chino base with…
It’s funny, I still get calls from customers looking for “that asian girl print” (their description, not ours.) We ran this design as a cross promo with American Apparel back in 2006.

Goodfellas Merch located in Glendale, AZ. I’m most impressed by this awesome video which clearly shows the passion they have for their work. I had a chance to meet the “fellas” at MAGIC in Las Vegas and they really are “good fellas”. Go figure. Great work Joe, et al!

Cardigan” (District Made…
We got a lot of questions about the “Hendrix” prints from my post last week. They were printed by Midiprint in Moscow. Quite possibly the best printer in the world. My man Art is the genius behind it all. Total respect.
On my third and final day at MAGIC I attempted to take in as much as possible in a limited amount of time. As decorators we are all involved in the apparel industry to a greater or lesser extent. It would behoove any decorator to attend MAGIC periodically to get a better understanding of the…
Spent some time walking the show today, paying special attention to decorated apparel of course. Some good, some bad, some great. I’ll spare you the bad stuff…
SGIA and Sourcing at MAGIC collaborated to put on The Innovation Zone. It’s a great opportunity to share the decorator’s side of the industry with buyers, designers, manufacturers, etc. Here’s a look…
