After getting a “defective” dye ink printer system that looked more like it was opened and tampered with in the mail rather than anything else, and so far getting no response from the website we bought it from, we decided to start our mass printing anyway with just sublimation. We won’t be streaming this direct process atm simply because we’re using a version of Windows we purposefully don’t connect to the internet – but earlier we completed a round of mouse pads/mats and coasters pictured to the right/down. Tomorrow we’ll finish the coasters then continue with our keychains, moving on to 40 or so mugs then finishing whatever polyester bags we have before moving on to a $200 order of higher quality clothes.

That shipment is the initial order from our new local plug, which has access to all sorts of different items and brands of clothes. We not only have access to better quality items but can now also order sportswear, winter clothes, sweatpants, shorts, sweatshirts, towels, blankets and a massive amount of hats and bags of different styles. We mostly ordered better quality shirts, now in colors other than black/white, a test canvas bag, some solid bucket hats and beanies and a flexfit flat brim baseball cap which we’ve always wanted to be able to get our mitts on. We’ve also ordered a sweatshirt as a test which are comparitively expensive but actually solid quality so those’ll be available as well. We’re truly excited to be able to start working in a more professional manner with higher quality items.

We’ll have a completely stocked inventory in a couple of weeks, even more so once our dye ink tank printer is online. Just in time for the first round of vending events this October as well as street vending. We’ll be streaming at least some of this once we get ahead of ourselves a bit.
