Hola.......new friends!
« on: February 21, 2012, 08:05:18 AM »
Hey guys! I'm Stacie. I have lived in Florida my entire life. I am fairly new to the industry and am excited to learn everything that I can. I am in the begining stages of starting my new screen printing business.I have been playing around with my equipment, making shirts for my sons baseball team moms and family members.

I was introduced to screenprinting in high school....( a couple of years ago! haha) I LOVED IT~ I was president of my graphic arts club. ( I know, very prestigous!) haha.

Anyways.....now I am the mother to three amazing, hyper active children, 7,2, and 1. Needless to say I there is never a dull moment around here.

I am excited to have found this forum and I hope to soak up all the knowledge that I can. I am always on the look out for industry mentors!!

Nice to meet everyone!!

Let me guess, you have a Yudu.

Just kidding.

What sort of equipment do you have?  Most schools around here don't have screen printing as an offered course.

Having a kid and growing up in a screen printing business, I can tell you that cleanliness is king.  If there is ink around, those kids will find it.

Welcome!

 ;D Haha..........No, I dont have a yudo.

I do have a fairly primative 4 color 1 station manual press.

I am sure that it will work for the begining stages of my business.

I am still on the fence about the direction of my business as far as custom or static design.

Hi Stacie,

welcome aboard!!! You'll find this to be a great place to get some input as you try to figure out the direction. Ask away!

Hey Stacie! Always room for one more.
Maybe you'll be one of those we see grow from newbie to "advice giver to future newbies" over a few years of a long and fruitful relationship.

That rug really tied the room together, did it not?
