never understood selling transfers. Like he said, it's a race to the bottom. I left all those DTF pages. It was disgusting watching everyone squirm over orders. I've had a DTF printer for almost a year now and have sold a handful of transfers ever. I'm not interested in the headache of selling transfers for the cheapest, the fastest, out there. I buy quality film, powder, and ink and sell only finished products.

Everyone that sees a hypnotist gets duped. That's the only way they make money.

Steve Sounds like he's channeling his inner Jeff Tweedy here.

How do i get coaching?

Need bitcoin on the balance sheet.

Great timing for this one! I took a business building class this week and am working on doubling my revenue by the end of the year.

Is there a video that talks about the beginning stages of being a printshop?

Vinyl records and cassette tapes are still storming back and increasing sales year by year. DTF looks terrible. It's great for 10 color Adobe Illustrator artwork, but it can't do the subtleties that screenprinting offers.

Steven & Bruce, will you please help me scale my screen printing shop? I am just getting started. I moved into my store last Saturday and I literally feel lost!

I really miss those Printavo days Bruce talked about, where focus was on making a great product. I don’t care about scale if we have to lose site of creating quality products and experiences for our customers.

outstanding guys, one of the best print podcasts I have ever seen

Really great podcast!!!

Hey thanks for the shoutout. We run 10 autos at 2 shifts for 10 hours per shift at this point. So very solid point on point made on our model..

This is the best episode I’ve seen yet! I’m amazed more people don’t watch & study these videos. Great lessons from many years ago with great analysis for the future ! Thank you guys great guest. !

Hey I got a question, my local printshop has a bunch of graphic shirts that they sell, but i don't think they sell very many, what do print companies do with all the shirts they printed and don't sell?

most amazing part is the marketing monday part. I cant believe you can do so much in a hour lol

What about the mimaki dtf machines? I have heard there not as fast, but reliable. I would love to know if you'd heard anything?

Hoodies are a pain in the ass. Also do runs of 1000. Low mesh and lots of spray tack. More off contact than tees. Make sure to use eye protection and keep that shit out of your lungs.

I just retired from UPS in November, was there for 40yrs. I build my company with bussiness and customer on route. 😂

I've heard that "if you're not spending 6-7k a month outsource" figure before. It was impossible for me to turn a profit doing that. Nobody wants to pay $15-20 a piece for cheap blanks with pressed transfers for it to make sense. I tried multiple companies that had multiple commercial printers. The industry is already flooded with people that don't care about supporting their product. I had transfers come with prints where the heads were clearly misaligned, prints covered in glycerin, and so many other issues. These companies are at a race to the bottom trying to sell the transfers as cheap and faster than the next guy that they don't have a margin to stand behind it. The DTF support groups are now just full of people saying exactly what you said, that they should be buying thousands of dollars of transfers a month before getting equipment. "Your issue is with the transfers you bought! Buy mine instead! $1.50 a sq/ft 3 hour turn around!" I finally bought my own printer a year ago. I wasn't buying anything near thousands of dollars of transfers a month. I inspect every print I press. I often change settings based on what it's going on, the design, and it's given me way better control, margin, and getting things out faster than I ever could before. I don't even print everyday. I have 5 printers, all for different purposes. One DTF printer. So my business is far from just apparel decoration. I have been making money hand over fist since I was able to get my equipment dialed in. It took a lot of trial and error testing different consumables, replacing parts, testing profiles, but now that I've got a lot of the bugs worked out I can't press shirts fast enough.

Dead end, likely. A human level robot - available in 2025 - will cost a fraction, do the same job, but also be able to handle other tasks (i.e. cleaning up). The main point, though, is the price. It will likely pay back within months.

What happens if theres a round of misprints. I do see many issues still

Datacamp is 150 a yr. Python and C languages make this happen. Every part for prototyping is on Alibaba. All of it. The slide to separate the shirt from the platen is an excellent idea, I'll have to write that down

He seems to be at 'peak humour' here. A nice talk, and some little insights too. A good guy. Gone way too soon.

Pay yourself first for business

Love how Justin inspires and encourages people. We judged skills USA together last year and I really got to see how he made people feel seen and important.

Hey people I want to learn more about screen printing

Over the last few days, I mulled over this podcast and it urged me to "Burn The Ships" on a product we provide that needs to be shut down and the space re purposed for better use. Kevin's approach to ideas, ventures or testing that did not work (move on) was really good!!

Great one!!

Justin is the best. Great Podcast.

Wow, what an awesome way to reuse these materials and provide an opportunity for consumers and businesses!

I love Kevin's attitude. Onward and upward!

Oh yes!! It's been 14 days since my last DTF breakdown....lol

SHANE AND KEVIN ARE FAM 💪🫶

im watching this just now 4 years later and I can agree finding the right people for your business is a roll of dice there's really no manual for it but definitely have someone with passion is a key!

wow AWESOME advice!!! love it

Signed up for DGI after watching this. Very, very simple UI and overall a website that immediately saves your purchaser so much time, and its free. Needed for every shop.

The definitely way to do DTF is outsource the DTF and don't get into the hassle !
