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…

Mis-Print Monday: Clogged Mesh

Some times you slip up a little and sometimes you really blow it.  We recently blew it on a simple print (which was of course printed on very expensive garments).  The job was rejected by our customer because text elements “disappeared”.  Upon internal investigation I was told that the first print “looked great” and yet…

In 2005 while trying to help raise money for Katrina disaster relief, we came up with this mosaic style design using a high density base giving the tiles some height and overprinting the various colors on top.

One of my running buddies sent me a text the day before a big marathon we both ran yesterday.  In the message he asked if we had printed the shirts for the event, knowing of course that we do this type of work.  I replied that we did not print the shirts for this high-profile…

I Can’t Breathe

Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls makes a statement with a t-shirt last night. That is a t-shirt that is going to be seen millions of times. Simple and to the point like a good t-shirt should be.

Protest Shirts on the Spot

Our translator is in NYC and can’t translate a post for Sunday because she is in NY.  There are massive rallies going on in NYC tonight. I ran into this in my twitter feed tonight about the rallies. The ACLU is giving out free shirts at the rallies protesting the police killing of Eric Garner…
