Web Wednesday – Bill Mooney, Redd Kross, Dirty Laundry and Kung Fu

We featured Bill Mooney’s websites two weeks ago. Here are a few good photos from him and some good history in his own words. I started screenprinting with a Speedball kit as well, so this story is dear to me. Bill in is own words: “Yes, Tannis Root is our tour merchandising and screenprinting company…

Printing $100 Garments

As a contract decorator taking responsibility of your customer’s product can be nerve-racking, especially when the numbers are big or the per piece price is high.  And of course high-end products always have a high-end difficulty factor.  We recently ran a print on some very pricey jackets by Lululemon.  Aside from taking our time to…

Misprint Monday – 15K Missing T’s

Tulowitzki not Tulowizki. I feel for the artist, printer, loader, unloader, folder, boxer… and especially the owner of the shop that printed 15,000 shirts incorrectly for the Colorado Rockies jersey giveaway. The baseball team isn’t doing well, and the promotion didn’t do well either. I do not know a printer that has not printed some…

Domingo Gigante – Evite Reglas!

Torcido un diseño, fuera del centro, demasiado bajo correcto, demasiado alto o rotada o izquierda? Si usted está preguntando por ella, probablemente se trata de un rechazo. Si dejas que algo va a través y el cliente obtiene una regla, ya está resuelto para. Camisas son hechas por seres humanos reales en directo y la…

Minimum Wage Art

Bob “Smitty” Smith has an “enterprise” he calls Minimum Wage Art. A few examples follow: – a great shirt design of his that we print is a map of North America titled “Indian Territory.” Search around the web and you can see Willie Nelson, Johnny Depp and a few other characters wearing it. – a…

A Visit to Another Kitchen

Sometimes I like to check out other Kitchens online. One of my favorites is Thug Kitchen. It’s my go-to source for vegan recipes full of attitude. Depending on your workplace it may be NSFW (Not Safe For Work) due to what some may consider improper language, in large fonts. It’s totally safe and appropriate for…

TBT – Process Master, Andy Anderson.

Andy Anderson is a screenprinter in located in Nashville, TN. His process prints are as good as they get, and they have been great for a long, long time. My shop mostly does simulated process. We originally did that because we found it so difficult to do traditional CMYK printing. Andy does it the old…

Web Wednesday – Crookedbrook.com

In my travels on the web, I ran into crookedbrook.com  I love the work that they do and I absolutely flipped for this great line on their site: “If your only concern is “how much per thousand stitches?” let’s not waste each others time. Search engine results pages are full of companies that offer “Discount Custom…

Garret Kaule – Enthusiastic Screenprinter

Garrett Kaule is one energetic dude. He prints and prints and when he isn’t printing he is communicating. He has a lot to say to his customers in the Pittsburgh area, and he communicates like crazy with his screenprinting brothers and sisters. He’s the straw that stirs the drink.  We love his enthusiasm. We asked…

Misprint Monday – Avoid Rulers!

Is a design crooked, off center, too low, too high or rotated right or left? If you are asking about it, probably it is a reject. If you let something go through and the customer gets a ruler out, you are done for. Shirts are made by real live humans and printing (and loading) is…
