Sold out
« on: April 24, 2023, 11:22:06 AM »
I first want to tell everyone that has been so helpful to me with my journey in screen printing a big Thanks! After 23 years and thousands of prints, we sold our business and now I only work one job:). It was a good ride and served me and my family well over the years. As with all of us, Covid really tried us and we could have gone out but we clawed and scratched through it and had one of our best years last year and the beginning of this year. I told the new owners (who have never done anything like this) I would assist them until they got the hang of it. When I purchased the business in 1999 I knew as much about screenprinting as if you had told me I had to do brain surgery in 2 weeks and here are the directions! I have gained so much information from this board, it is amazing how we as printers are so willing to help a newcomer out. Thanks again for all the assistance and I will still be reading the board just not as often.

Yes Good Luck!  Hopefully, I can do the same in about 5 years
It's not a job if you love doing it.

You will miss us. I hope you get to enjoy a little down time. Good luck!

Best of luck to you, I'm jealous. I was hoping to be out last year, but the Covid thing made us stretch out our plan.
