So lets hear all about your thoughts of the long beach show

What were your main interests that brought you to the show?
Did you find what you were looking for?
Did you have a great time and meet forum members there ?

Ok so I just got back from the show a little while ago and had a great time. I met Lou finally, and Michael I met your wife Debz as she was over with Lou. I also met JPD, and I walked the show for quite awhile with Mistysue but kept loosing her

That place was so packed with so much stuff, I couldnt look at it all so I am going back tommorow.

I looked at what dtg machines were there and was suprised that there were not as many as the SGIA show last august. I went to see the new tjet blazer, the one that prints 3 platens in a row and I have to say I was not as impressed as I thought I would be. My daughter and I waited for the samples to print and it took forever, it seemed like about a half hour we waited. I dont know if they had the dpi set at max or what but I could not imagine waiting that long to print three shirts, this was at the IMG booth.

I went to talk to Amy at mesa and it looked like there was a really lot of interest in the HM1 as there were many many people crowded around every machine they had brought. I think there were at least 4 machines operating. I was really glad that I went and looked at all the other machines again because it really reinforced the decision I had made to buy my HM1.

I talked to the people who make the direct advantage by sawgrass because I had heard rumors that they had come out with a white ink for their machine but what they told me was that the did and it did not work well so they decided to just stick with printing light color garments for now.

I found a really great garment company that I had never heard of before called Kavio, If you have not seen their garments they are really worth looking at. Very trendy and nice, with alot of different styles available. I will definately be buying samples in the near future, oh and they are right here in cerritos too so it is close by for those on the west coast. They also have some really great burnout style tees, definately more of a upscale trendy style garment but very very nice. They also have a really great selection of infant and childrens styles but not too many different colors.

Bella also has come out with a really cute thermal onesie with contrast stiching that I will probably invest in a supply of. very very cute and different for infants.

Ok I am going to stop now because there is really so much more but I will update again tommorow when I get home again

Ok if you made it through this post I hope you enjoyed my impressions so far from the show.

I just got back from the show, Like it has been said, THERE IS TONS OF STUFF.
Found tons of new vendors/products that I will be using now from inks, clothes and chemicals. If I wasnt busy tomorrow I would go back. I started at one end of the building and did a zig zag pattern thruough the whoel place and saw it all stopping at the places of interest. I found the Impressions/t-shirts forums booth and signed the visitor shirt. (rico menor d!rty) saw a couple of members, Lou i know being one for sure, Sorry I didnt intro myslef but he and a couple of other members were talking and I didnt want to butt in. I was also tired and ready to beat from holding all the samples and bags i had picked up on the way.
I am glad i went it is a must for those that have never been.
