Thanks, I thought that was the case but I have no interest in stepping on toes here.



Mike, why should you be different than anybody else? ( insert gregarious laugh here) :D

I agree this years show was not as good as previous ones.

I wrote a little bit on the dyesub.org forum.


Mostly it was the same displays, same products as the previous 2 shows.

The only thing I saw a little different was the direct to fabric printers with white ink and a new poly mug or plastic mug. A case of mugs only weighs 12 lbs. You can save a bundle on shipping. They weigh a lot less than ceramic mugs. But they are selling for a little over $2 ea in case lots. They would be ok for promotional mugs but not at $2 each blank.

The fabric printer that would print on black shirts needed a prep spray, heat pressed, printed, heat pressed again. All this for $13,000.00.

I am glad I live in Indy and did not drive too far.

I agree. JDS has those mugs now but they are pricy. I like the idea of that printer--there are 3 or 4 I guess but the white wasn't quite up to the opacity of screen printing. I suspect it won't be long until they have that solved as well. With prices for small machines from $13,000 to over $20,000 I think I'll be farming my jobs out. Thanks for your comment--I used to live in Broadripple back when Letterman was the weatherman. Mike
