Posted by Trish on January 27 2010

The wonderful crew here at Tilteed has given me the opportunity to share my experiences on this blog. I am working on a series of articles that will showcase the nuts and bolts of what it takes to print a shirt, what small companies are doing in the business, and artists making waves. I mean, really, have you seen some of the work that came out of the 31st Impressions Awards?

First off let me introduce myself, my name is Trish. I’m an Account Manager for a screenprinter and part time blogger (check me out at Gaunt Designs). When I started in screenprinting, two and a half years ago, I thought I knew a thing or two about the business. Needless to say, I was naïve.

Over the past few years I have dealt with a lot of marketing companies that use screenprinters as a part of their ad specialties programs. While this is one large part of the business the other part is the amazing art that family reunions and restaurant employee uniforms afford companies to be able create. This is why I think Tilteed is the perfect platform for graphic artists. Anything that promotes the artistic side of printing is tops in my book.

I’m here to share my experiences, both good and bad. I hope you take something away from this. Suggestions and questions are always welcome. Stay tuned for my very first article on what it takes to actually put print to shirt. I’m a visual person so expect lots of full color photos. Until next time…
