From the Ground Up: Inkwerks Screen Printing and Design

From the Ground Up: Inkwerks Screen Printing and Design

Situated in Camarillo, Calif., Inkwerks Screen Printing and Design is a full-service screen printer, embroiderer, and design shop. Founder Jason LaBlue began his foray into screen printing in 2008 by printing designs for local businesses. Since then, the company has grown into a bustling shop that serves both the local community and a handful of out-of-state contract clients.  

LaBlue explains how he started out in a vastly different trade than the apparel decoration industry. Before screen printing T-shirts, he worked on a wildland fire crew in the Sierra Nevada mountains. During that time, LaBlue began building a collection of custom shirts. Local screen printers would print a T-shirt to mark each major fire the crew fought, and LaBlue would pick one up at each fire he and his crewmates battled.

These tips are designed to help create a controlled ink build and help with successful wet-on-wet printing.

PMS Colors For The World Series Are Here!

PMS Colors For The World Series Are Here!

2016 is a special year for baseball, as the two teams playing for the World Series are the two teams with the largest World Series droughts in the major leagues. 1908 was the last time the Chicago Cubs won the World Series. With a 108 year drought on the line, the impressive Chicago Cubs aim to put an end to the infamous curse of the Billy goat. However, they have one great obstacle in their way, the Cleveland Indians. The Indians have not won a World Series since 1948, making them the team with the second longest trophy drought in the MLB. With two cities hungry for victory, this World Series will be electric to say the least.
