I recently met with a perspective customer. He was questioning the quality he was receiving from his current print provider and brought a couple of samples to get my take. His issue was with the heavy “hand” on the white discharge ink in his printed designs. “It looks great but it feels like shit, until you…
Algunas piezas de equipamiento han progresado mucho y ahora lo tienen todo- calidad, precio y fiabilidad. Nos gusta mucho nuestra Epson 4900 y la tinta que conseguimos de SPSI. Nos encanta el rasgado de Wasatch y nuestro chip para resetear (quizá aquí esté exagerando un poco). Básicamente ya no pienso en la película. Sé que…
This seems really stupid, but I see people open boxes wrong all the time. If you are not careful you will either cut yourself or cut the items in the box. It is easy to do correctly, but for some reason everyone does it ass backwards. 1. Get a sharp knife, razor, box cutter, whatever.…
Some years ago we did some work for a major sporty retail brand. At one point they added to their huge book of rules that we had to put a piece of cardboard inside every box, so that they could slice open the boxes (recklessly) and not cut a shirt. I asked if instead we…
Here is an article I wrote for Printwear a couple years ago. It still rings true. Summer is the worst time for ghost images to occur, with heat and humidity on the rise on the Northern Hemisphere right now. I have had an inquiry every other day about somebody having ghost issues and so here…
The Library of Congress Online Prints and Photographs Collection has been an invaluable resource to me over the years. Millions of hi-res images in thousands of categories, a majority of which are unrestricted use in the public domain. The site is ugly and the functionality is clunky (hey, it’s the government), but it is well…
Simple yet brilliant. Our Hanes/Champion rep dropped off some promo items. Love them. 1. Flash drive – who does not need more flash drives? 2. Pens – yeah, who has too many pens? 3. The world’s best box cutter – It took me ten minutes to figure it out because I’m not a genius, but…
When you stumble upon something like this in your shop all you can say is: WTF?
Ser responsable del producto de nuestros clientes como decorador contratado puede ser exasperante especialmente cuando el numero y el precio de las prendas es alto. Por supuesto los productos de alta gama siempre tienen dificultad añadida. Hace poco tiempo imprimimos unas chaquetas/chamarras muy caras de Lululemon. Aparte del tiempo que tomamos en tratar y planchar…
New IKEA catalog has two pages that recommend decorating something or other with old t-shirts. Yeah, go IKEA, use up those old t-shirts so folks will order new ones.
