What is up everybody Matt with Mikey Designs here welcome to another edition
of not running your screen printing business at home but running a screen
printing business
just to give you guys a little bit of an update our shop is pretty close to being
100% set up which is fantastic but also at the same time we are in the midst of
catching up with a bunch of orders
have a new little system that we kind of develop we do kind of need some sort of
print management software something that's affordable I had that I could go
on and on but this is working for us at the moment and as you can see there's a
lot of design work that I need to do we have a few things out being proved stuff
that we have outsourced and here are the things that are currently being printed
here's some stuff I need to screen Fred and got a lot to do so these goes to the
office and do some design work let's go
okay so have a little design project what have to do for a client of ours
it's about 300 shirts it's a benefit deal we decided that we would donate our
design time to doing that so and you take care of that and we'll get doing
some other things like reclaiming screens and printing some t-shirts so
I'm gonna go ahead and take care of this while Shannon the shop nut she's not
really filling all too well today but she still killed it and if you're
hearing a lot of noise in the background these vases because we're pretty close
to an airport
okay so I got this design all finished up
okay so I got this design all finished up this is a completely separate project
from what you saw me designing I didn't got through the whole design process but
that's because a screen capture just was getting way too big so that's what this
design ended up looking like finished got that all taken care of
and we got a package in let's see what it is it's like Christmas not really
so we sent some shirts out to one of our DTG vendors yeah but that's what happens
when you send a low res image and you have to knock the background out and
then you have this one here which actually came out looking really
good so it's pretty badass when you think yeah yeah looks good I think
they'll be happy with it okay I'm going to wash out a couple screens that's it
just a couple of them we've got this huge order front
finished doing the back so on let's take up and this is the job we have up next
that will require a couple screens so I'm going to wash these two screens out
here and then put some of these inks away and clean some of squeegees up that
we use on a couple other jobs so let's wash out some screens
let's wash out some
cleaned up got my squeegees clean a couple screens clean so then you toss
that away toss the screens in the homemade drying bracket this thing is
actually pretty awesome kind of hard to do it one-handed
there we go evaporate the moisture out of there now I need to put those dudes
away put this away and then I'm going to go pick up some embroidered bolo so that
I'd outsource so I'm gonna go ahead and do that we're gonna hit the road are you
all good yeah you got it you need anything well I am on the road
I just wanted to talk to you guys about a few things I got a new phone I got an
iPhone X and have been using this particular v-log I am using the 4k
settings except for this little video here because I'm using the front camera
right here which I believe is only 1080p so let me know what you guys think of
the quality of this video using the HD feature we also have another camera on
hand that we wore loaned before doing our video logs and it's a Rebel t3i I
believe so I'm gonna try and use that one next video although I need a tripod
or some sort of selfie stick for the camera but next video log I'm going to
use this rebel see how that works out
okay we have our shirts and on our way back to the shop I'm gonna turn some air
on it's hot it's 97 degrees outside so let's kick it guys and I'll see you at
the shop okay so I am back at the shop the shirts look great we're gonna let
our clients know that dough's are ready we're gonna fire up the press and screen
prints and shirts so y'all stick around and watch this hammer out about 600
shirts yeah we probably won't get all 600 done
but we're definitely gonna make a dent in them it is C it's about 5 o'clock 5
o'clock we close at 7 but we're going to work on these for a few hours and at
least get half of them done so check this out
okay so we are all finished for the night we got about four of these cases
knocked out and we have another huh actually we got about four and a half
cases done and for another four more cases to do we're gonna pick that up
tomorrow and finish that up a little bit of a late start today the reason being
is well we had a lot to do and just as we were starting to do shirts one of our
yeah one of our neighbors across the way happen to invite us over to eat some
barbecue because I gave him a little bit of a hard time as we were leaving one
day and said hey next time you're barbecuing out there
