I have followed The Trend Machine in Long Beach, CA and have seen their innovative work on Instagram but in person I got to see an impressive operation. You get to pick two out of three in a business: fast turn, great quality, and price. Trend Machine gets their price because they deliver in spades on quick turn and on top quality DTG. They offer same day service, great prints, and all the jobs that other shops say, “No”, they say a resounding , Yes!”
Serving the fashion industry and designers they print all kinds of things that folks say cannot be done with DTG. They know DTG inside and out in terms of the machines and in terms of techniques. the owner Danny Trejo with Ben, Erick Efrain and Curtis take real pride in their work in terms of quality and innovation.
I arrived on a day they were creating a new showroom.
Co-owner Danny with some impressive all over DTG prints.Trend Machine takes all the work other folks say can’t be done: here a print that bleeds off the edge and also oversize.Part of the Trend Machine magic is their own platens, here and oversize custom version.An oversize long platen allows them to do spiritwear that is just not seen in other shops.Doing their own maintenance, knowing the machines inside and out, and with a motivated talented crew they keep things moving.Buttons in the way? No problem.Oversize printVery impressive printing across the sleeves and back.Across the shoulders and oversize and bleed off the bottom. Wow, just wow.Always with an eye to improve, just after my visit they lengthened their oven themselves to increase production capacity.
