American Screen Printing Association hopes that all screen printers, (especially those of you working in shops with textile dryers) have survived the record heat of July. As I'm sure you know, thousands of temperature records were broken throughout the USA. Working in a hot print shop in this type of weather is brutal. Please be safe and take precautions to protect yourself and employees from the dangers of heat exhaustion. August and most of September are usually hot for most of America, so expect more of the same.
ASPA member Brother International Corporation announces that Atlas Screen Supply Company, a Schiller Park, IL firm, has been added as a new authorized distributor of Brother™ GraffiTee™ Series of digital garment printers in the Great Lakes region. Brother's new GraffiTee™ Series of digital tee shirt printers consists of an initial lineup of three modular models allowing buyers to upgrade as their business grows.
