We Love Sports #2

August 13th, 2009

It’s softball season!   You guessed it, that means it’s time to post our latest softball job!  This particular team supplied the art, which required a two-color front print and two-color back print.  We separated the colors, burned our screens and got to work:

Long Time No See!

August 13th, 2009

It’s been crazy here the last few weeks!  We’ve expanded production and upgraded some equipment in order to conduct business more efficiently.  As part of our expansion, we have increased our workforce as well – we now have two full-time and two part-time employees – screen printers, sign / vinyl gurus and graphics designers – who work together to produce amazing results.   We’re quickly out-growing our current location, and will be moving to a bigger place within (hopefully) the next month or so.

Here is a picture of the new printing press that we recently set up – it allows us to print up to 6 colors per design, and with ease.  I’m not going to lie, I gave it a hug.  You would too.  Actually, stop by and hug it yourself, it’s an experience to behold:

The past month feels like a blur,  but we’ve been so productive that the end result has made all of the late nights and early mornings worth it.  We’re just finishing up a large shirt order for a new clothing line, totalling 55 separate designs and over 2000 prints, and may be working with another designer to produce a new fashion line for next season.  It’s fun to be a small independent print shop – even though we have the production capability of a high volume printer, we can keep our costs low enough to  accept jobs that are more experimental in nature than the typical high volume printer would be able to do.  That sort of freedom of creativity is part of why this business is so much fun.
