New Business Venture

As some of you already know in the next few months, I will be opening a screen printing business with my wife, Garland, and one of our roommates, Austin Caine.  As such, we have been researching skills and equipment needed to actually amke this happen, already lining up investment capital to get us started.  We hope to be taking our first orders in June.

Yesterday Caine and I hit the NBM Printwear show in Charlotte yesterday, hoping to check out some screen printing equipment and supply manufacturers, and to find a few sources for wholesale shirts.  While we were there we also checked out the Sign Business and Digital graphics show, and the Awards and Custom Gifts show.  It was a big success, not only did we find the company (RYONET) we are looking at buying our equipment from, we actually got to use the system we plan on buying.  I had went in expecting to drop $50 on a DVD set they offer on techniques and skills, but was given a copy for free along with their advanced printing techniques DVD.  As they also got us into the show for free (just a promo code on their site) they saved us $80 bucks
