Field Trip to Printed Threads and The General Store
We recently took a field trip to Fort Worth, home of Printed Threads and The General Store. Joined by my good buddy Paul Riva, Owner/Founder of Apparel Graphics in Oakdale, CA, we barely made our 5am flight out of SMF and in just a few hours we were picked up at Dallas Love Field by Brett and…
Misprint Monday: Copyright Violation Frenzy
Recently I wrote some thoughts here about rampant copyright and trademark violation, which is aided and abetted by lax policies of on-line services. It is easier to put up some BS product blatantly stealing the artwork and design of others than it is to get them to stop. This week I’m in the middle of…

Sad to say, this may be true.

The artist gets screwed three ways to Sunday, no money, their art is out there in a crappy low…
Vendor Loyalty

This is Only a Test… Print
A very special guest post from our friend Brett at Printed Threads: The garment industry has done a really great job of making shirts harder and harder to print on. The ink industry is trying to keep up with them. Dealing with dye migration on poly garments has become fairly easy because we are used…
Godzilla, Baseball, Ink, FESPA and a Tale of a T-Shirt
At the FESPA world trade show in Munich a month or so ago I got a shirt at the Matsui ink booth. Being a movie fan and a baseball fan I was intrigued. As a screenprint fan I was perhaps not so intrigued. The print is impressive for a 100% poly shirt, but the halftones…
