Hello From Austin, Texas
« on: May 17, 2018, 12:52:56 AM »
Hi, my name is Kay, and I stumbled onto this site while researching plastisol ink.  I am not in the printing business; I manage the merchandise for a musician here in Austin.  I have been educating myself about t-shirt printing a little at a time, so that I can understand what our t-shirt guy is telling me when I re-order shirts, and especially when we are designing a new shirt.  That is the case now.

Hope it is cool that I have joined, since I am not in the business.  I am sure I can learn a lot here.

Welcome Kay
As for being cool for you to join, sure.
If we can help even one printer not suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous client requests or poor design choices, then we have done the industry a service!
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Welcome! Best piece of advice I can give is bounce ideas off / get input from your printer BEFORE you decide on a particular design. A knowledgeable printer can help you make adjustments for optimal printing results, and can help you get the most bang for your budget by advising on garment options, ink colors, & more.
Nice guys laugh last.
