Silk Screen Stencils

Good stencils are key to screen printing, getting all the variables correct for each T shirt printing job is essential. With plastisol inks it has always been about finer mesh counts, T shirt printing using waterbased  inks requires a different approach entirely, and the use of both opaque and clear bases gives us a seemingly endless list of possible scenarios. Good stencils on coarse meshes can produce fantastic detail, but every part of the screen preparation process and exposure needs to be spot on, maintaining detail and making the screens …

Earth Positive T Shirts

While some T shirt suppliers  suprise us with mid year price increases, others, namely Earth Positive look like closing the price gap on the non organic brands. As many companies start passing on rising fuel and energy costs to the consumer, Earth Positive will start to see a return on their investment in alternative energy sources.

Chicken Strike

The chicken strike is over. We are still uncertain as to why, but for the past week we have had no eggs. We looked everywhere for new laying spots, but found nothing.

Organic T shirt printing

It is turning into another very busy month at Advertees, and the blog is being neglected terribly, we are seeing some really nice jobs going out of the door unrecorded as we pull out all the stops to meet our deadlines. Our job conversion rate to water based inks is higher than ever, and the response from customers is great. There are very few light coloured T shirts that leave our workshops printed in plastic ink now. We cannot see any reason to print plastic ink on to white T …
