I now have an answer for "what's the strangest thing you've printed?"

Shoes ! I have printed on socks before, but never shoes. I guess they're not really shoes, more like canvas dance slippers, but you get the idea. These were for an art exhibition, it was a poem gold-foiled across the front of 17 pairs of shoes! This one was all about the preparation. I made a templa...

Re: Franmar Chemicals

Good to know. Just wondering because I use Bean-E-Do and Strip-E-Do and they work for me. I like them because they are soy based and biodegradable. They are getting harder to find in my area, i'm usually waiting on back order. Would you say Saati, RhinoTech, and MacDermid compare ? "Green"...

Franmar Chemicals

I was scrolling through your supply website and noticed in one of the packages it comes with a Franmar startup kit. Just wondering what all that entailed and what Franmar products you carry.
