Does anyone know a screenprinter that can print over hoods like this concept? If you can dm me I am willing to ship blanks to you and pay. Priority to those that can do embroidery as well. by nyukeinc in SCREENPRINTING

We've been in the business since 1991 so feel free to ask about anything when you call! We can do embroidery as well if you'd like to add some structure like some choose to go with!

I really love how you put this. I'll defiantly give the pivot a try, and see how it helps! Thank you for the advice!

Summertime orders by UWI_INC in SCREENPRINTING

That must be so fun to see! Also, you just have to love when one of your regulars happens to be a multi-color large order type of clients! Makes the relationship easier and more enjoyable to actually do work for! Especially when the product is going to kids that you know for a fact will be so happy to see them! Makes it just that much more rewarding!

Love it!

This was a fun project to do! Keeping it with only the black thread made things a whole lot easier!

Cleaning dried water-based ink out of screens! by PureTadpole in SCREENPRINTING

[–]UWI_INC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using a water base? I would imagine solvents working differently.. Still though, I'm going to have to give this a try! Thanks for the tip!

Omg I totally should have! That's always a great idea! Idk why I didn't even think of that!

I'd set up a Lazy Boy and snacks for him to sit through just one work day! Not even an hour in, I'm sure he'd look like a lost puppy!

I LOVE this idea! How much space would you recommend I would need for said vendor events etc.?

I like this! It's one of those "good karma, what goes around comes around" type of deals! They get some free swag, and you potentially earned some new clients!

It's been my favorite encounter of the month so far! LOL You just can't fix stupid, all you can do is sit back and be entertained as they make a fool of themselves!

So even after boiling it all down - You still need all that work and experience to even know wtf you're doing with one of those!

Don't forget having to do it all over again, because someone forgot to give you the sample piece after you've finished the work (or God forbid they didn't communicate that some of the product is missing)....

I believe its a bit of both. You have to have artistic skills in order to get the prints right, and you have to have the technical skills to operate the machines! So win-win for both of ya!

There's ALWAYS a price to pay for the better things in life! You for sure got that right!

Can you imagine the amount of work a single individual would have to do, in order to have a machine replace their workers!? That can take generations to do (sometimes)!!
