Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
I will be attending the ISS trade show in Long Beach next weekend. Is anyone else from the forum making the trip. Might be a nice time to put some faces with a screen name
Have not taken any classes....but this time I'm participating in the product demo section of the Start Up Decorator Seminar. We sponsor a group that participates in giving the seminar. The seminar is supposed to be pretty good for shops looking to start up or expand into screen printing, embroidery, or heat printing.
I went to the show. Didn't take any classes though. The floor is worth the price of admission. I guess it would really depend on what you're interested in.

I would really like to find someone there who would like to stock some of my creations. What is the best way to go about this? Just bring a portfolio and start pitching to anyone who will listen?
Do I really need pictures of all my t-shirts being worn by models? I believe it would cost a few hundred bucks to get that done.
Are you referring to tee shirts or art? No one there is selling tee shirts per say. All the major tee shirt companies are there, and a lot of transfer art companies. If you’re looking to sell your art you can try and talk w/ the transfer companies at the show, but obviously their first priority is to sell their stuff.
I would advise collecting information on the companies you want to approach and get a contact name at the show. If you happen to get into it w/ the right person, great. But I would plan on approaching these companies after the show.
