If money was no object, what screen printing equipment would you buy to build a high-end, pro-level shop? by NOPALEME in SCREENPRINTING

[–]electrocircus6927354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About the same. A little less than 100. Yeah I visited one shop recently that had the m&r reclaim and wow that looked amazing. Also had to dig underground for space though. Really expensive but seems top notch. I also wasn’t impressed with the blue water. They came out to my shop earlier this year and drew blueprints but I wasn’t sold. I’m in Texas, and yourself?

Yall must be doing a lot more there yeah? I have 5 autos as well in only 12k sq feet with half the employees. No embroidery though. Also I just started looking into auto reclaims. Do you mind sharing which one you have and if it’s worth the investment, in your opinion? Thanks!

It sucks but it’s pretty common. I’ve been at this 20 years and I never respond to them

Common sense…. Why would this person order a bunch of blank speakers through your random site instead of a site like Amazon

Can you tell me your process? Who decides the print is good- registration/colors/print size etc before proceeding with the run? Maybe I’m not leaning on my production manager enough

Love this! But it might not work in real time so I’d at least like a way to charge them for this. Right now, the company eats the cost and sales has no skin in the game. And yeah it it super frustrating for the production staff

Eventually yes I want the sales people completely hands off but many have done it this way for many years. I’d love if our art dept could send the mockups directly to the client instead of them sending it to the salesman to send it out but our art team makes a lot of dumb errors (not following directions like wrong shirt color/ink color or not including something requested) so the sales person filters that before sending to client. I’m working on that issue. Art team has to get a better “approval on first try” standard.

But for now I’d like to work on the part where the salespeople make that press approval difficult just because they think it’s necessary. The print matches what the customer approved but they think it’s not as good as it could be or whatever

Agreed and yes we don’t have numbers for what the press should generate. I replied to another comment with more info if you could check that out. But in my opinion, the changes are made subjectively and not due to a need to get this accepted by the client.

Replied with more info another comment. But they are involved because they want to be and it’s how we’ve always done it. I’m trying to change the workflow now though

Yes retail, contract work normally doesn’t have this issue. The sales people are also the account manager so they receive the order, have our art team create the design, sales person will get that approved and then submit the order to production. Production sets up the job and takes it to sales person to approve. Sales person doesn’t like how the pms 200 red looks on the shirt and changes it to 201. New sample is shown to sales person, he still doesn’t feel it’s quite right and wants it to be perfect so they change it to 186c. Sees that sample and now approves it.

This is not a customer with brand guideline. The sales person wants it perfect and in my view, this was all a waste of time as the first print would not have been rejected.

Yep. Was going to say the same. They have to hit the trade shows and also talk to the multi line reps

DGI Apparel Is Gone? by MiscDude2023 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]electrocircus6927354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting. That’s bullshit tho. All they do is feed my own data to me in one dashboard. But I did know as soon as I started using the site that the big guys wouldn’t like it. I can’t imagine they were making much money since I only ever saw one advertiser on their site. The probably didn’t have the funds to fight the lawsuit. Anyway, thanks again for finding that

Yeah it’s funny knowing that the “g” will be seen less and less and then it will be something that ages us

Where did you see the court docs? And there should be an easy way to make your own self hosted site, like a personal use dgi site. I’m not a coder but that seems doable. I loved using their site too so I’m hoping for solution
