With consumers becoming savvier and demanding more creatively-decorated apparel, the standard screen print just isn’t turning heads anymore. In this kind of environment, how can screen printing businesses increase creativity and offerings to customers without investing in large amounts of equipment and software during these challenging economic times?

One answer is simple—the heat press…

As we faceⁱ the prospect of yet another flu epidemic, it’s useful to contemplate just how far we’ve come in terms of sickness and the workplace, and just how far we need to go in terms of not acting like lunatics.

Screen printing: One of the greatest businesses ever… or at least we think so. It’s a lot of fun working in this trade, from printing cool logos and designs and adding neat effects like foil or high density to creating a clothing line or just making a little money. We can’t speak for everyone, but there is nothing like standing over a freshly printed shirt after many man hours and being awed by the finished product. All that hard work was worth it. Every minute. 

When it comes to combining humor and the Internet, my favorite quote comes from actor/comedian Denis Leary in a television spot for the online video provider Hulu.com: “Now I need you to take your stubby little human fingers and hit this button on Hulu. Then you can share TV shows on your bliggety blogs and your Facey-spaceys and your Tweety pages for all of your bookwormy anti-Boobtubey friends.”
