Steve from Mastercraft Painting got our name from one of our previous customers. He was looking for work shirts for his guys that would serve as advertizing while they work.

Steve decided on the Gildan pocket T in the color natural that would compliment his dark red logo and a couple extras in light gray to give to family or friends. We were able to provide him shirts in sizes up to XXL…in fact we can get shirts in sizes up to 5XL in some cases.

Seems Steve was happy with the results as he’s placed a reorder already.

The other day when we were explaining to a customer how the direct to garment printer can do everything from text to logos to photo quality images we realized we didn’t have any photos printed on a shirt to show as an example. So off to the sample closet we went to get a shirt.

We used this Mustang image and because of the many different shadows and reflections on the car that show off the level of detail possible. Though this image is mostly shades of gray with some blue, we can print photos of anything in up to 16 million colors at 600 dpi. And because it’s printed on the garment directly, there is no wasted ink like with traditional silk screening and printed area is light and soft to the touch much like the fabric it was printed on.

Hmmm….must find more pictures!

Thought we’d try to do a multiple color embroidery that used several needles just to see how it would come out. All the demos and jobs we’d done before were only one or two colors so we picked out a pattern that had eight colors. As a result we invented the Christmas hat!

Shame you can’t see it in the picture, but the stitch pattern on each Christmas ornament is different. There is some serious detail in this design. Stop by and have a look at it sometime. We have this and a catalog of 5,000 other stock designs just waiting to be stitched. Not to mention custom digitization for your own art work or logos.

Roger from Fidelity Electric contacted us for t-shirts that he and his employees could wear on the job. He also wanted extras to give out to friends and customers. What better way to advertize than on a t-shirt?

We hooked Roger up with durable Hanes pocketed Beefy-T’s with logo on front and back via direct to garment printing. They came out great and he liked them so much he’s already ordered more.

Bill from next door stopped in. They were having a golf tournament over the weekend and wanted he something that would help the leader stand out amongst the group.

We took this Nike dry weave shirt and simply added leader mark of Bill’s choice under the front chest logo. We used vinyl transfer for this in the same way the Nike logo had been applied by the manufacturer so it looked like the shirt came that way. Amazing how the vinyl works on virtually any kind of natural and man made fabrics.

Bill was pleased with the results…and hopefully he got a turn with the shirt during the tournament.

A good friend of ours called Mike is heavily involved in bicycle racing. He invited a bunch of his friends to watch his first race of the season down at the Velodrome.

To show our support we designed a logo and made vinyl transfers for deep red t-shirts from Gildan. We passed them out to his friends in the stands where we all cheered him on.

He was stunned, moved and inspired. Amazing what you can do with a t-shirt isn’t it?

Funny story, our first customer came before we even opened our doors. We were in the shop on a Saturday installing some molding and the phone rang. It was the day before Father’s Day and Suzanne wanted to commerate the birth of the first child (and grandchild) by giving something special.

We worked with Suzanne to pick a design and a font. Before long she had customized gifts for Dad and Grandad helping make that a day they won’t soon forget.

They were thrilled and even sent a picture. Nice one!
