We must never lose the tribal memory to pass down this knowledge. If it is lost, our nation is lost. Tool and die is a national security issue. If the United States is going to remain a manufacturing and industrial power (and it must remain one) then this must become a top

I spent Wednesday morning paying a visit to my friend Mark Rowe at his Marietta location. Mark owns Mark Rowe, one the busiest production shops in the southeast. As printers go, he is an all HP shop and he has the entire portfolio: flatbed, roll-to-roll (every size) and Stitch

Matt Ferguson is the President of A&M Graphics in Auburn New York. Matt and I had an introductory conversation about the vehicle wrap industry. This video is the first in a series on vehicle wraps and the vehicle wrap industry for my Practical Printer Channel. Matt is also

Many such cases. B&W laser is always the reliable, cost-effective bet vs inkjet. Overall, in the cheapo consumer space, nothing is great. Bill & Dave are loooong gone at HP.

This is Caleb Goodnight. He owns Fable Content. He is the finest videographer in the business. Caleb and I have formed a partnership to create top-tier content for all you poor souls who desperately need it (myself included). Tell an engaging story with great production values

Goodbye Rick Hatton interview! Rick has been a stalwart industry guy for decades. He is reliably at every show, every event, promoting the virtue of Banner Ups (of which I am both a believer and an avid user). Rick is an exemplary salesman and advocate of his products; he was

The Price is Right was a nice touch, guys. And having Jay Kroll as Bob Barker was perfect. This was a highlight of the ISA 2025 show. Jay is featuring the new General Formulations GF364 matte and GF365 gloss adhesive vinyl. These are very good economical choices for everyday

RIP + Ink + Film + Powder + Shaker + Heat Press = DTF. I'm going to dive headlong into the DTF hot mess and set the record straight about a couple dozen things. Let me begin by establishing the correct size: 24". Why? Listen in and find out. lnkd.in/gh78nmqB And let me

What happens when your crappy DTF shaker breaks down? In many cases, your printer is next. Listen in and I'll explain. Round 2 of the ongoing North American DTF gold rush. DTF is a WORKFLOW. If you ignore the importance of the shaker, then you ignore a critical component in your

Yes, DTF Printing can be very deleterious for your health. Most companies will not tell you anything about that. They never even thought to ask. Do you want to ruin your health for a shitty T-Shirt? DTF is not good for you if you handle the chemistry like an idiot--as most people

DTF Printing is a workflow. It is not as complicated as sublimation, but it’s close. It is much more complicated than normal wide-format printing to posters or canvas. If I leave the finishing cutter out of the process (and I might add it in some cases), then there are seven

The best DTF white inks in the world.

Is it possible to prefer a subscription-based software model? Many people really dislike subscription-based platforms, and I think it is because they don’t see the full value of what a subscription model brings. They like the idea of owning something, not renting it. I understand

DTF is a workflow. It has at least 7 identifiable steps: file creation, RIP software, printer & ink, film quality, powder, shaker, and heat press. You could easily make it 8 steps if you add in a film cutter. Each step must be accounted for and fully integrated with all the other

Cobraflex is one of the few DTF companies that can almost say it is made here in the USA. They design everything here and do a large part of the assembly here. They buy US parts whenever possible and continue to source here in the US. A very transparent conversation on how

Dupont makes great ink and they make great white ink. Cobraflex discusses how important ink quality was to reliability and consistency. Made in the USA DuPont is a great company

Cobraflex did the R&D so you don't have to. The video speaks for itself. Jim is correct. You start with creating a first-rate product and then build everything backward. Most of the 'printer only' companies cannot tell the difference between a quality, fast, hot peel vs a cold
