Special effect printing can set a printer apart from their competition and generate excitement from clients. The challenge is that many special effect inks have higher costs associated with them, risking the loss of profit margin. Fortunately there are ways to minimize or eliminate these costs and still create that same excitement from your clients. Let’s take a look at a few strategies you can employ.

A tip recently published in “Printwear” by John Levocz.
Some jackets can have a water-repellent coating that will potentially become an issue when screen printed on. The coating is designed to help water from saturating the garment, but if it is so good that it is blocking the water from penetrating the garment, it will also inhibit the ink from bonding correctly to the jacket. If the ink is not bonding correctly, the abrasion resistance and adhesion will be compromised.

New post from Marshall Atkinson at Atkinsontshirt.com. How long does excellence take? Sometimes it can stretch out for hours or days, but on the other hand sometimes it’s just a few moments of your time. We’re all “busy”, but are we too busy to do the right thing? Are we too busy to spend five minutes on improvement? What can you make better?
Here’s a brainstorm dump on things you can do in your shop in five minutes that just might make the difference between ok and freakin’ awesome.

New post from Marshall Atkinson at Atkinsontshirt.com. It’s that time of year again. Every clown with a keyboard pushes out their “Top Ways to Hit Your Goals” or “Do These Steps to Improve Something Somehow” tips. Hey, including me as I’ve written plenty of these articles before. I have my Bozo nose here somewhere and I’m probably going to write them in the future too.

Pardon the alliteration, I couldn’t help myself. Does the constant craving for samples from your customers drive you a bit nutty? If not tempered, it can quickly launch out of control.
Have you been pulling your hair out lately?
Samples for the most part are for someone else’s final decision making usually, but they can be for other purposes too, such as a photo shoot or a quality control procedure.
The intent for the article is to be more or less a walk through the sampling process to help you define your strategy on what might work for you in your shop. Just read and use what you like and change or discard the rest.
Ok, let’s get started…
