what happened to Justin and his Kornit?

Hey there, guys! I must say, it would take a lot more than that to put me down and out! I have been..... Regrouping! haha. I have a million irons in the fire, at the moment, but here is a little teaser of something I am releasing in a few short days:





Thanks for your interests and concerns, guys! I am sure I will be considerably more active, again, as soon as I get a few of these things off the ground.

Hey there, Chris! I will certainly be at Long Beach, since it is only about a half hour from my shop. This application is actually a free t-shirt store application for MySpace, which I have been working on for quite some time. We are almost ready for launch, but it seems the last few details always take the longest to complete! Our app gives users the ability to customize the look, color and (soon) the layout of their individual store, as well as create designs to populate it.

We are developing the design utility to be available outside of the MySpace app, but I don't want to give away too much until it is complete!

So, just because things sometimes take much longer than you had hoped, doesn't necessarily mean that you have stopped working on them, all together! Finally, after more heartache, frustration and failure than most people will ever understand, here is the FIRST 3 minute SNEAK PEAK video of our upcoming AP Product Labs software.... Still got a few bugs to work out, but they have been classified down to "slight kinks" (down from "minor issues", only a few weeks ago. haha). When this project goes live, I think we are going to shock a lot of people with some of the stuff that is NOT being shown in this Sneak Peak video....

We're getting there......

Thanks, Ken! We have been printing our lights on a Brother for awhile, and we have been sourcing darks to a Kornit owner, until I decide what to do about dark garment production in the future. How is the machine working, for you? I have seen some of the improvements that Kornit has made to their software, as well as their support system, recently; I hope it's all paying off for you owners! It certainly looks cool.

There are many aspects to the software I am working on, but the version that is about to be launched is the MySpace-specific one. It will be located within the MySpace apps gallery, and any user will be able to quickly and easily install it, at the push of a button. The app will put a t-shirt store on their profile page, which they can then custommize to their liking. While logged into MySpace, the user can then design their own t-shirts, view the manufacturing cost, add their own markup amount, and then add the items to their customized store. Users can also make their designs "shareable", which allows OTHER store owners to purchase the t-shirt, and then gives them the option of putting it in THEIR store, as well; any time that item is sold, anywhere on the network, the predetermined markup amount is split 50/50 between the original artist, and the store owner who sold it.

After that, we will be making the platform available online, anywhere you can embed a flash movie file (ie, website, blogs, forums, etc). Just like the MySpace version, this app will be available for free, as we will be doing the actual manufacturing / fulfillment.

From THERE, we will be offering a modified version of the sofware for sale, which will be available for DTG printer owners who want to allow their customers to design their own garments on their website, as well as create "mini-stores" and such. At that time, we will also make a version of our internal automation software available, as well.

As you can see, there are many parts to this project... haha. But one step at a time! We are going to launch the MySpace stuff, first, and see where that takes us.....
