Noob!
« on: May 30, 2012, 04:34:23 PM »
Ok well I have been lurking on here for some time now.......I work for a sports store that has a screen print shop and I'm the Graphic Artist there. I have been in this position for a little over a year now and in that time frame I have learned that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life! The shop I work for is no where near the best shop to learn this industry from so I have have done TONS of research and asked a million questions (because my design background is in catalog and web work mainly) and I have been able to help this shop progress a little but no where near where it should be. We do mainly sports/school stuff nothing too fancy and it's all spot printing. Our biggest job happens once a year and it close to 5K pieces and that takes us a couple of weeks to do. Other than that we do mainly less than 200pcs that are 1-2color.

Anyway, I intend to try and learn as much as I can before I venture off on my own someday and forums like this one have helped me learn the little bit that I currently know.

Study the Forum index a bit, figure out the most appropriate section, and ask away.
