Heat transfer printing

Friday, February 29th, 2008

What would we do without our plotter! time and time again demand for a multi colour print on just a couple of T shirts is the request. We were always a little wary of going down the transfer route as this is where the business actually started from, and assumed the same problems with transfer […]

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

A little behind the door on this one as I have only just embarked on this blog, but important to mention none the less.

It seems like an eternity, I have missed nearly two months of surf, ear infection, Flu!

Lots of good waves have been missed. I feel lethargic unfit, […]
