Re: Ink on Koozies

Boyd, You're right, it's the type of koozie I purchased. These ones are foldable. Room in my bands trailer is slim, do we can carry a lot more of these than the hard round koozies. All you have to do with these is get them and print and you're done. I thought about trying puff, but I think it depend...

Re: Off Contact & Micro Reg

I still had the screens on the press the other day, so I tried it again, but this time I pre shrunk the shirt with the flash curer. The image lined up pretty much perfect. But I did notice another error that has caused me to have to reclaim both screens and start the image over. It never really occu...

Re: Ink on Koozies

I finally got some pictures so everyone could see the koozies. First, this is what I wanted to do: Print 1 koozie at a time sliding it on to the sleeve pallet at the very end. It would hold it down tight with very little tack spray needed and be perfectly lined up straight up and down and left to ri...

Re: Ink on Koozies

I am printing on can koozies. The ink held find and most of the prints look good, but I didn't like how I had to print them. I planned on using the sleeve pallet, but that didn't work. What do you use to hold them for printing?

Re: Ink on Koozies

Just wanted to give results from printing on koozies. I tried the regular plastisol ink first and it worked great. So I never ended up using the low bleed ink. I'm assuming it would work just as well, but when the normal plastisol works, why bother, right? Another area of interest though. I planned ...

Off Contact & Micro Reg

Hopefully this is in the correct area on the forum. I'm setting up a job right now that will be printed on white tanks. It's a 2 color spot job using red and black. I had a few issues with this job, so bare with me and the length of this post. 1. Registration was off. Here is how I burned the screen...

Ink on Koozies

I was wondering if anyone has ever printed on can koozies before and if there was a better ink to use for it or not? I was thinking about trying my normal plastisol and curing normally, or using Triangle Ink's TI1706 Low Bleed White that I have for printing on polyester. I will try both of these and...

Color Separations Using Photoshop

I have a question about color separations. I will be printing pretty complicated pieces for bands merchandise. Luckily the bands have professional artists doing the artwork for them. These artists know that the final use for their art is t shirt printing, so they are very good and preparing the file...

Re: Vectorization Tutorials (link)

This is an extremely good tutorial that walks through the process of turning a hand drawn image in to a vector using Adobe Illustrator. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXGY9Q7VmU8&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXGY9Q7VmU8 It's a lengthy video, but the best I've seen on the subjec...
