Thoughts on Discharge

I should start by saying that I do not consider Motion Textile to be a discharge printer, but we’re pretty damn good at discharge printing.  To clarify, I’m saying that there are printers whom primarily print waterbase/discharge and do so very proficiently, efficiently, and profitably.  I think the only way to get to that place is…

Web Wednesday: Brands of the World

Brands of the World has been an invaluable resource for me for many years.  Ever been desperate for a specific brand logo in vector format that for some reason your customer just can’t get their hands on (after all the Coca-Cola logo is only available in lo-res jpg format) and yet they still want the print to look perfect and…
