Any recommendations on the belt speed / temp settings for cotton t-shirts, and any tips for printing dri-fits.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I decided to Hire a local company to design and code a shop management interface that will allow us to efficiently run and manage our shop.

Today I got a screen shot of the interface today and have a video conference tomorrow to get a preview. Wanted to share the sneak peak screen shot and also open up some discussion to see what others are using and what features and reports you use that have helped your shop be more profitable.


Some additional details about the interface:
Using MySQL

Will be hosted on our server and be accessible anywhere and will be iphone/ipad friendly

Clean interface.

Will actually use the information to provide reports

Will eliminate the use of additional programs to retrieve and process data and display reports.

There a bunch more details that are important to us, would love to hear what you guys think, Thanks!

Hey All,

I wanted to let you know there is a new place to get an awesome screen printing starter kit. It is aimed at hobbyists and people who are a little overwhelmed by all of the options out there. Not only do you get a kit with everything you need to make tshirts, but we are building a community of people who all start with the same equipment and knowledge and help each other learn and grow.

I would love to hear peoples feedback!

Thanks,

we're in the process of purchasing and outsourcing the printing of a larger order of tech t's to Zorrel. We're not automated, so it just makes sense for us. So I sent them the artwork, and they came back saying that their maximum imprint size for the backs of the shirts are only 12" x 12" for the men's and 9" x 9" for the women's. Width is fine, but that lenght seems quite small to me. Every time I do event shirts, I can make my back prints up to 17" long if I want. Has anyone dealt with Zorrel on this? I just don't understand why they have such a small imprint size. I assume they are running autos with all kinds of different sized pallets. I chatted with their sales ladies and they don't know much about the specifics from the decorating department. Makes you go "mmmmm!"
Have a great day!

I'm really excited and thankful for Rich N. for helping me out the past few months on my new purchase.
I'll probably be posting more, asking questions and wisdom as I've been a manual printer for about 8 yrs now.
I'm happy to get my body back, cause man it hurts! haha.

Any advice from you Diamondback owners?
