In August of ’96, I was waiting at a bus stop in the old downtown section of Prague. Across the street there was an unusual billboard. It was made up of vertical slats with different images printed on each side of the slat. The images were divided in such a way that you could only…
FESPA is the international organization for screenprinting and digital printing. They are usually ahead of the US on many issues: for example I saw my first DTG unit at one of their shows, saw them embracing digital before the US, and saw them embracing environmental concerns before the US. Interestingly they focus in this piece…
Print Resurfacing is one of my favorite techniques. A variety of effects can be achieved through the simple process of heat pressing a printed image with a piece of specialty paper, ie: matte or gloss, between the print surface and the heat platten. We have used this technique successfully over the years to mimic litho-transfer,…
A clogged jet on an imaging device causes a streak across the entire graphic and nobody notices until the boss man comes walking through the shop (a fresh set of eyes always seems to catch the mistakes).

You never know where inspiration will come from! Back in the mid to late 90’s, high density and dimensional printing was all the rage. We now had another print dimension to work with and I took to it like a duck to water. I was constantly looking for textures and patterns everywhere I went as inspiration…

We do a lot of re-label work, I mean a lot and much of our re-label work is direct screen-print. Opportunity cost is one of my favorite terms commonly used by economists.
