Just wanted to introduce myself. Ed is my name and I've been screen printing since 1981. I have a small one man operation that pays the bills while I can still raise and watch my kids grow up while the wife is working at her job. Hopefully I can help anyone with questions about screen printing in the small shop scenario or just tell a joke or two.

Hi Ed, welcome to the T-Shirt Forums!

while I can still raise and watch my kids grow up while the wife is working at her job.

Sounds like we're in a similar situation

Nice meeting you Ed.

 

[edzts]

Cool Rodney. We will have to get a dialogue going. It is always nice to talk with another ink distribution technologist.

Welcome Ed! The more screenprinters on board, the better!

 

[edzts]

Great website Oscar. We'll have to talk some more. Thanks, Ed

 

[edzts]

Thanks Nick. How is it down under? Winter time isn't it? Here we've been sweltering in the 100's for over a week now. Nice to be able to communicate with all screenprinters. Hope to keep a diague going or just tell a few good jokes or whatever. Ed

It's cold and depressing me

But I'm for the UK originally, so an Aussie winter is actually more like a British spring, and quite nice

I think the UK was 39C yesterday, the highest temp on record. You can always tell when we hit a record, as people start dying....

France had some heat related passings as well. Sad. I gotta go for now but well talk later. Thanks for the greeting as well. Ed

 

[Adam]

Yep, pretty hot for us Brits here at the moment Can't complain.

Welcome Ed!!

 

[edzts]

Thanks for the welcome Adam. Took a while to get back online, the heat and all. Looking forward to conversing with all.

I have a new tshirt message

Welcome to the forum! Do you screen print transfers, or just garments?

 

[edzts]

Mainly direct to garment or textile printing. I have done transfers that were pre-printed "backwards", then heat pressed the image onto a tee shirt. Iron on designs that came with cereal like Capn' Crunch were ironed on using a wax paper in between the pellon that had the design and the substrate. The iron was on a low heat and you continuosly ironed all over the design for a while till the image would transfer. Then you had a decorated shirt! The best has always been direct printing. Thanks for the welcome and sorry if I went to far in explaining what I do
