Just rolled out this new, step-by-step video on SingleStep that is the newest, most expedient way to print with a heat press. The paper is self-weeding so that the end product looks as if it was actually screen printed. And it enables printing with textile metallic foil to decorate on dark or light fabrics.
How it Works.
SingleStep™ is self-weeding using a single-sheet process to transfer a solid image without the background. Only the toner with colors that are 30% or darker on the grey scale (the image) transfer, not the background film.
The image appears as if it were screen-printed onto the textile.
SingleStep™ can be used on most color laser copiers or color laser printers (both the older low temperature color laser copiers/printers that use fuser oil and the newer high temperature color laser copiers/printers that do not use fuser oil). SingleStep™ will not work on ink jet printers.
SingleStep ™ can also be used with Textile Metallic Foil to decorate DARK or light fabrics!

This step-by-step video teaches you how to easily stretch mesh onto a screen and avoid bonding your fingers together in the process. All in all, this
18" hand stretcher + frame + 110 mesh + RhinoBond Toughened Adhesive 100 + RBP 1500A activator ( to hasten drying of adhesive) = a perfectly
stretched screen printing frame.
From the video, you can see that the system is a simple, easy and
space saving way to stretch screens in any size shop including home,
garage or studio. $155 for the 18" hand stretcher is a
great way to start.
Somewhere along the line, I got the impression that as a person aged, the T-Shirt attire was supposed to be exchanged for a more presentable, business-like apparel; that a t-shirt screaming Aeorosmith, Property of MSU Athletic Department, Guns N Roses, Rolling Stones (with tongue), even for after work wear, should be left to a much younger generation. So I gave in.
Well, now I'm at a bigger age and I'm not gonna take it anymore. Here's to the
and they're unabashed love for the printed T-Shirt and their brazen declaration that resonates with most of us: deep down, we're all t-shirt whores. Check them out at The T-Shirt Whore and be amazed.
And for all your textile and graphics screen printing needs:
RBA 3 Web adhesive aerosol is used w/fleece products. It's an
environmentally-sensitive product; bonds easily to a variety of
materials without transferring adhesive to the fabric; enables material
to stay in place without shifting during the screen printing process;
repositionable.
RBA 2 Adhesive Mist has a very fine mist and is one recommended by Catspit Productions.
Also
recommended by Catspit Productions who produced this video for RhinoTech: SO105 that is a screen opener for
plastisol inks. Spray directly on screen or rag to open clogs on screen
frame.
SO100 that is a screen opener for water-based inks. It is a very user and eco-friendly, biodegradable product.
RhinoTech Heat Transfer Technologiesincludes a range of heat presses and transfer
papers. These enable screen printers to have the advantage of both traditional
and heat press printing in one space. Heat press technology enables short run
projects to be expedited and to stay in-house. Equipment space saving features,
minimal inventory requirements and recyclable papers are also serious
advantages.

How to handle the irate customer? Check out How to Talk so Kids will Listen & Listen so Kids will Talk by Adel Farber and Elaine Mazlish (the teen version is equally excellent). This bible of child rearing is one of the best non-business books that makes perfect sense in the business world. Read it and you will believe.
One of the best take-aways from the book was how to use the following expressions Uh-huh, Oh, Interesting, Really? I See and Mmm, along with sympathetic silence, during a customer rant. It was astonishing at how powerful these simple little words made it
possible to diffuse/resolve a situation with the irate, unreasonable,
emotionally charged, often loud, unhappy-and-wanting-justice customer in
the calmest, most peaceful way possible. Speaking from experience,
these practical tactics (and some appropriately interjected humor) help
to restore sanity and harmony in a tough customer/workplace situation.
Though we might fantasize about strongly articulating, why you gotta be so mean?, logically, we know that a defensive posture will just be a lose-lose situation.In
the end, what we really want is to retain a customer who will remember
that we tried hard to solve a problem to his/her satisfaction.
Here is an excerpt from a summary of the book …..The more I move
through life and the business world, however, I am struck how the same
techniques enhance communication between adults in all aspects of life.
This book should also be listed in the Business/Management section. It
says all the same things the high-priced consultants say — treat people
with respect, do not deny their emotions, state the facts (only) and
shut up and listen. This book also talks about giving praise and
recognition, which makes it another reason to use it in real life,
inside the family AND outside in the “real” world.
Some tips with tactics from the book:
Apologize and Listen. Immediately respond to the customer problem with, You do sound unhappy,my apologies. Let me help you. (or) I’m so sorry, I want to try and turn this around (or) if all else fails, It sounds like we owe you an apology.
Then…let the customer talk and respond at intervals with, Oh (or) Interesting (or) Uh huh (or) Really? (or) Mmm (or) I See (non-judgmental words) so that the customer knows you are listening. Treat people with respect: actively listen, acknowledge with short bursts of Oh (or) Interesting (or) Uh huh (or) Really? (or) Mmm (or) I See. If appropriate, throw in a that does sound frustrating. As the customer is able to air the complaint, he/she should start to calm down.
On the other hand, if the customer is just becoming increasingly
angry and/or abusive, try to retain integrity and calm and say something
like, I understand that you’re very unhappy and I want to help
you, but at this point I need to put the president of the company on the
phone (or) I need to ask for your name and number so that the president of the company can call you back.
State the facts back: Ask yes or no
questions, only, to get the full details of the complaint. And to reach
a resolution. Once you think you have it, remain sympathetic. State
back the problem and resolution. Gain agreement that the resolution
you’ve discussed is understood by the customer. Say something like: So that we’re both comfortable (another good word from the book), we’ve decided that our company will fix the equipment and you will pay to have it shipped to our location (or) Just to confirm, you understand the step-by-step set-up instructions and you are now comfortable in completing the set-up?
Thank the person for calling; document the conversation point by point.
And be awed at the huge impact of Oh (or) Interesting (or) Uh huh (or) Really? (or) Mmm (or) I See!
Hope this was helpful. Thanks for reading and subscribing!
Digital screen printing
equipment must offer performance, flexibility and products that dazzle. These
