Incredible quilts from old metal t-shirts. I’ve seen quilts done before but nothing even close to this creative. The Huff Post mentions the quilter’s “ability to turn “your grandmother’s sewing circle” into a celebration of vintage tattoos, the occult and motorcycle gangs. Blending, as he puts it, B-movie horror film style with the delicate intricacy…
Most retail lines understand the value in premium garments over basics and will thusly charge accordingly (think hoodies over tees, etc). Why is this not so with printing? We all know that it requires more work and costs more to produce a full color print over a single color print and most of us charge accordingly…
Tom and I visited the Hirsch showroom and office in NC. We received some great hospitality and we got to see some of the best equipment available for shirt decoration: Kornit Direct to Garment, MHM Automatic Textile Press, Tajima Embroidery, and Seit Lasers.

Search engine results pages are full of companies that offer “Discount Custom…
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…
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…
