greets from germany
« on: September 07, 2013, 12:41:19 PM »
hello everybody,
please excuse my bad english, it's still a foreign language for me.  ;D

so let me introduce our company to you. we are located in dortmund germany in the middle of the biggest german industrial region. mostly we print for the music industry and we are specialised on color separations. our printshop works on six automatic presses from mhm in a tree shift system, so we can print up to 60000 shirts a day what makes us one of the leading printshops in germany and probably in europe too. our screens a exposed on a signtronic cts and are washed with a fully automatic grünig system. actually around 65 persons are doing their best in our shop :D

i hope to get some inspiring contact from all over the world.
best regards
volker

Hello Volker

Welcome to the site, your English is very good. I would love to see some pictures or video of your shop especially the screen processing and examples of the prints you produce. I also run MHM press but most on this site run M&R equipment. Look forward to learning more about you and your business.

Beautiful print.  Discharge?

I'm still laughing at Z's comment, but I'm in the same boat.  Nice 'small' pic.  (that's one of the only "Deutsch" words I remember from school ;) )

Heck Volker, your English is better than many who speak it here! LOL!
At any rate, so glad you found us, and as you probably know, this is a knowledgeable, generous, friendly bunch.

it is plastisol. we can do discharge, but it is more complicated. 95% of the prints we do are plastisol.

here is another kleines sample from a shirt we made after it was missprinted from a competitor.
just in case: we made the print on the right side ;D

the other sample is a (what we call) bigprint. thisone is a discharge print

Hi Volker,

'glad to have you join us!

East coast is 6 hours behind Germany and the west coast is another 3 hours behind. There are more ppl living on the east coast (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=7052) so the +6 is probably slightly more relevant than +9.

Awesome to have you here! Is that supposed to be the singer from Tankard on the right in the "Rock Hard" print?

yes, that's right, it's gerre from tankard. i did not expect that they are known overseas. :o
that's why i did show this picture. in germany it is a bad idea to show too much about your customers.

Hey Volker welcome!

Looks like you guys have a nice shop there. Very nice work.

What kind of dryer do you guys have in those pics? The color looks familiar to me... Is it electric or gas?

Again, welcome. It will be neat to hear about the industry from a different area.

I only happened to know because I had a friend from germany when I was in highschool and he was into them. This was before Gerre got his currently defining feature, *ahem*. Since you are probably our only German printer here, I don't think you are in any danger. Also that print is amazing!

Just out of curiosity, why is it not a good idea to show your work? Is this before they are released? Eventually those shirts will be out in public, right?

Count me in as another person really interested in some of your less common equipment, like the auto screen wash. Do you use and auto coater?
