Jst wanted to introduce my self. Im 20 years old and i operate: in my "spare time" a skte company , if you will? out os Salinas California .I tried numerous times to have decks printed but the cost of that was way to high. plus the company i went through was unreliable when it came to my artwork AND printing. whithin the last 8 months i started to build a press and screens for printing decks. I have managed to build a frame for the " infomess" curved screen. I welded 1/8" alum frame, to which i streched a 230 mesh screen(done by poconoscreensupply company. for 8$. I have yet to expose this flat screen and give it run. sorry that i have no pics . next investment. pics soon to come!! Any advise for a young and small skate company owner? thanks

Keep it up mate, sound like you are about to start doing it the RIGHT way. Hard way, but it'll pay off in the end when you have your own print factory doing all your own graphics.

| The first time i had boards made they were pressed and printed my mimic skateboards/ skatefactory. I dont mean to talk shit about them but they cannot be trusted with graphics. The first time i sent my artwork it was a pretty large file and the boards came out way pixilated , all they needed to do was to put the grafic through illistrator or correl draw and press live trace. on the web site they state that " you could send them a grafic on a napkin and they would go through it and make it worthy of a board. oo plus thy left the holes in the grafic that were used as refrence to where the trucks would be at. and dont even get me started on the other two runs of boards i did with them. |
