I'm running small Printshop in Slovenia, according to Don's classification.
We print on two automatic TAS presses and one automatic flat bed machine for heat transfers. We do have one 6 head Embroidery machine and Kornit 932 for DTG. We are 25 people currently, and do around 1 mil prints per year.
I'm proud of our heat transfers, which I believe are world class, not so much on our direct printing. We produce average results here. We stall for last ten years, as I spend most of my time running business not playing around and developing technology. Of course i buy all the latest available technology to overcome that, but the final touch is given by enthusiastic, curios and passionate individuals. And these i fail to find and employ.
Our biggest strength is that with all available technology we can decorate pretty much any textile that serves promotional business, we never miss a deadline, very rarely do mistakes of any kind, and this makes us popular choice and secures continuous growth of 10-15 p.a..
I never had any other job but this which started 20 years ago as poor student's living source in disintegrating country-Yugoslavia.
On forums I'm mostly just lurking, helping out when not so basic questions regarding transfers are asked.
I hope this forums grows through quality discussions and shared advanced information into "where pro's meet". The fact that excellent printer started it is definitely pointing in right direction.
