What have you printed lately?

[alan802]

I can't recall if I posted this pic yet and didn't feel like going back a page or 10 to find out so here it is...perhaps again.

Austin rainbow dude ain't never gonna be happy, hope your client realizes that.


Want to see how ridiculous a scary portion of American humans are? Start a screen
printing business.

Since literally the week I started printing commercially in 1988, this has been as issue.
back then, with event shirts bought on speculation, run to the bank with the check. Don't wait until after the client finds out that he was optimistic.

With everything today going on plastic or PayPal, from this side of the fence, that "consumer protection" don't look so good.

Time for a new topic in business to discuss how many "disputed charges" you guys get.

Luckily not very many. Maybe one or two rejects a year. Last one was an embroidery job for a company
in Israel. They had ordered the exact same garments before and loved them, ordered them again in oddball
experimental colors and this time they suddenly didn't fit right. That is all except for the black ones which is the color they
had ordered before. When they emailed to explain they said this same thing had happened with the company
that they had used before....

Never had a chargeback and only one no pay ever, which was a Christian school. Accepting cards for at least 7 years now.

Austin Pride guy would get tossed out my shop very quick, I take a bunch of crap but enough would be enough.  We have a sign on our counter that states WE ARE NOT A FASHION HOUSE!

Drop the line screen down to 55 and it will look even better (in some tiny areas).


You're gonna say, "We already do great prints".  Yes, they look great. But they can be better if you hold the tiniest dots also.  You can't see it in prints...as we have nothing to visually compare to, so they look great...but if you compare the printed results (printed color to film) on the seps, you will find that you are losing your smaller dots (on press). That has to do with the fact that (even using S thread), your smallest printable dot you have (should be covering 2 mesh threads and one opening) as a gauge.  S thread helps this because of the more open area...but only decreases the number of blocked dots...It does not eliminate the chance, and still blocks dots somewhere because the smaller dots on a 60lpi are just too small for the 230 to hold them (or not block them).  55 gives you a slightly bigger dot, increasing your changes a little more of not having those 4% and under dots from getting blocked out. THe visual differences between 60 and 55 are non-consequential.


All in all, still looks great, just not (best it can be). You of course don't have to do squat. LOL.
