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 …

Coarse screens and half tones

It is pretty standard practice in screen printing to use very fine screens where a half tone is required

Animals and fences

It has been a week of broken boundaries at Advertees, as we break all our previous records for T shirt printing production, poultry, cattle, and foxes have taken advantage of us being too busy to look outside the factory. They have found their way into places they shouldn’t be. Perhaps I should have made the effort to attend the Royal Cornwall Show and check out all that is new in fencing.
Meanwhile the Sevenoaks Rowing team have had to delay the start to their epic trans atlantic attempt due to an …

Royal Cornwall Show

The royal Cornwall Show is under way! but sadly I can’t see myself making it down there, nothing to do with the rain! It is just busier than ever and not enough hours in the day. There is now a fox taking an interest in our chickens, we chased him off today and made lots of noise and he was gone. Needless to say the chickens retired early tonight.

Waterbased inks

Although not ideal in all situations, and the ink a real nightmare to work with at times, water based screen printing can be extremely satisfying. This month has seen a big increase in jobs produced with water based inks, some customers have even changed their original ideas to suit the process. Companies buying Promotional t shirts for the Royal Cornwall this week have been taking the greener option too, with both Okarma and Earth Positive T shirts doing well.

Students T shirts

As ever students leave you with very tight deadlines, the final big day for many students is here, and most will still be working on their projects with seconds left on the clock. We are seeing a much better understanding of the processes involved by students, and a more realistic take on what to expect in the way of costs. Maybe I have spoken too soon, next year could see us inundated with unreasonable requests, but this year was good, we enjoyed it.

Eggs

Sure as eggs is eggs May brings a big increase in enquiries for T Shirt printing, and lots of eggs too. The workshops are humming with activity to meet the bank holiday deadlines. A few University design projects to complete for tomorrow, some of which we will try and post to the blog in the next couple of days, assuming time allows, it is going to be a real challenge to maintain this Blog over the next 3 months but hopefully we will manage! Our first summer of blogging, there …

Cornwall Air Ambulance

Don’t forget Cornwalls air ambulance will be at the Royal Cornwall Show on the weekend starting 5th June. You can support them in many ways, but obviously we are going to recommend their organic promotional T shirts. The latest print run has used a new opaque white water based ink, rather than the discharge system, it is proving incredibly flexible washes well and can be ironed, we are experiencing some ink curing/stiffening in the screens due to the warm weather, but not enough to warrant use of the retarder just …
