It doesn’t happen very often but when it does I always ask myself the same question, “how did we all miss this?”. A typo, right in front of your face goes unnoticed by all involved parties: designer, end-user, distributor, and printer. It is only caught moments before production is set to commence during a “first print…
I have been producing the Pawtucket Film Festival for 15 years and we are in the midst of the 15th this weekend. Of course we have to have a new t-shirt every year. Here are about half of them on display.
I thought this was a nice saying to start the weekend. Rutland Discharge White Plus, 20″ x 20″ jumbo print on a 28″ x 28″ 100% cotton, J. Crew Bandana. Happy Friday.
Keri Ambrosino, Judy Winters and I combined to make this year’s Pawtucket Film Festival shirt. Of course there was some help from the former Soviet Union in the mix. There are millions of reasons to be horrified by the policies of the former Soviet Union, but they did stop Hitler and they did produce some of…
Interesting story here developed over a couple days at Mirror Image. Todrick Hall called and needed shirts in a hurry. He of the over 40 million views on Youtube. He loves the Wizard of Oz and has the ink to prove it on his arm (though I neglected to get a photo of that.) He’s…
I love making fun of big corporations, so its nice to see that parody still can exist in our system. Here’s an article saying that t-shirts saying Zombies Eat Flesh that look like Subway Eat Fresh might have some legal ground to stand on.
I have a small collection of personal shirts which I have retired from my active wardrobe but have retained for nostalgic purposes. This “The Smiths – Hatful of Hollow” tee is my favorite. It was given to me as a hand-me-down Christmas gift in 1992 by my big sister’s ex-boyfriend. He had purchased the shirt in…
I came across this blog post from Adam Nash’s blog today. The post dates back to 2010 but is no less relevant today. As a contract printer in Northern California we depend very much on tech companies and young startups understanding “why t-shirts matter”.
All too often a customer insists that their image on their shirts should match their billboards, signs, posters, table tents, magazine adverts, etc. Farm Aid and the artist for their logo Kathy Keller did a great job of creating a logo, but having variations for web, poster, tickets, and importantly for us shirts. Putting a…
We’re very cautious to avoid “bleeding” and “dye-migration” when it comes to printing 100% poly and poly-blend fabrics. We use poly white plus a barrier gray when under-basing 100% poly and we use poly white plus a standard low-bleed white when under-basing blends. We drop our oven temp and cure time, and we are careful not…
