Someone on my personal FB feed asked if anyone could make a few tees for a birthday party and I was surprised by the numbers of "I can" that popped up along with those that tagged others. The amount of kitchen table "shops" there are here was unexpected. There were even quite a few who were doing even more such as those with dtf and uv-dtf printers. I also learned that one of the regular shops in town got a larger dtf printer and is selling gang sheets on their fb page. Just last week a regular customer was looking at my Roland VG-2 and said they were thinking about getting one because they thought they could make good money judging by prices they see on sticker mule. Just turned 60 a few weeks ago and it's also 25 years doing this nonsense. I realize none of my equipment, even though it's maintained, will be worth squat. I know this has been discussed before at length, but I truly wonder how long traditional screen printing with be able to hold on. Not meant to be a doom and gloom post, but this is a changing landscape. PS...I've already had schools cutting back on orders, but that's another topic $$$
