Equipment / Sartorius Ink Scale for Sale
« Last post by brandon on Today at 09:11:04 AM »
Hey everyone, we have a great Sartorius scale from Germany for mixing inks that we don't need anymore. Upgrading but this scale is still awesome and works perfectly. Have Model and Serial number, is explosion proof (these guys are used for mixing in somewhat combustible environments) and will post pics in a day or two. They tend to be rather expensive out of the box, so just looking for 50%. I would rather sell here to someone I know versus FB. Okay, I'll get pics up in a day or two.

I never dragged and dropped, always "Placed". Hundreds of times, maybe thousands. Definitely Embed so it's always there.

Copyrights/Trade Marks info/questions / Re: Who here deals with Affinity?
« Last post by Atownsend on May 02, 2024, 04:53:30 PM »
We do a lot of contract printing in the greek space. Our contract customers own the license. We do the production but they handle the royalties since they are selling to the end user. In the beginning we did have to submit printed samples to Affinity and also send them insurance having them listed as additionally insured.

I don't see how they could double dip on the royalties. That doesn't sound right. The retailer was paying the royalties correct? The retailer needs to let them know that you are printing on their behalf. This is crazy... I better not be wrong on this because if I am im totally effed hahaha.

We got a call from one of their attorney's once and that was all I needed to just post a list on the wall of fraternities we would not print for.  Apparently we thought the president of the fraternity had the authority to get items printed for a dance they were having...LOL...we were wrong.   Then they got audited and our company showed up in their books.   They were cool with us and we declined joining once we looked into what hoops we needed to jump through.

From their website it looks like the reseller doesn't need to belong to the group as long as the decorator is part of the group.  Maybe the person at the school is pressuring you so they don't have to keep up with their end.   I would think whomever it is that send them proofs and gets approval for items is the one who needs a license...but that might not be correct.

Who needs to become licensed?
Answer:
Any group or individual that wishes to trade on the goodwill associated with our clients' marks, and benefit commercially from utilization of those marks, must become licensed in order to do so. A vendor is not required to become licensed in order to resell products produced by a licensed manufacturer, so long as they do not further embellish the product or expand on the use of the insignia.

General Heat Seal / Re: DTF on 100% poly
« Last post by mk162 on May 02, 2024, 02:35:40 PM »
Just did some here.  I prefer the low-melt from Supa for this.  I get less press marks.  I have switched a lot of stuff over, especially when it's 4 colors, left chest. It's easier to do and frees up the press for faster jobs.

Are they just using a different powder adhesive for those? We lower are settings for poly when it is necessary, and always lower the time to apply better.  I find they hold up great but on some garments you just can't avoid the press marks (we stay away from textured poly for example).

I guess they are, the instructions are different.  On their blocker series, they use a black blocker under the DTF print.  It's been great for troublesome garments.
