Advocare – Midnight Sun Health and Wealth

Here’s a sample of the order that I just did for some friends who are distributors for Advocare.  Check out their website at http://www.midnightsunhealthandwealth.com.  The colors were great on this combination!

US Forest Service

Finished working on an order for the U.S. Forest Service.  Used my white ink from Ryonet but found it to be a little thick for this application.  Fortunately, I wasn’t applying a lot of ink to the shirts so they turn out fine.

Quickbooks for screen printers.

So Ryonet sent me a copy of the expansion pack for Quickbooks last year and I finally was able to afford to purchase Quickbooks Pro 2011.  I need some help.  I followed the directions that were provided on how to open a saved company file but when I open the file there is nothing there.  What am I doing wrong?

Working again.

It’s been a while since I’ve worked on any orders but they are coming in again.  I’m exposing 8 different screens right now for 3 separate orders and just received another order from a new client today!

Screen coating.

Just finished coating 8 screens with emulsion. Let’s just say that I hope that I can get some prints out of a few of them!

Snowed in.

Haven’t been working on screens lately.  Went to the shop the other day and I’m glad that I have a big 4×4 truck because we received a bunch of snow.  It seems that the Kenai Peninsula Borough road contractor doesn’t mind leaving a large snow berm at the entrance to the driveway of our shop.

Darkroom improvisation.

What do you do when you don’t have a darkroom?  You create yourself a dark room.  An ice fishing tent works well with a table and a yellow bug light.  Diazo and emulsion mixed in a light safe environment.  Screen coating comes next.

NYO uniforms.

I received my order from Ryonet and was surprised at how quickly it arrived.  I placed the order Monday afternoon and it was delivered to my door Friday afternoon.  Had some trouble using the UPS order tracker but eventually I was able to figure it out.  I ordered two wooded framed 110 mesh screens pre-coated with emulsion as I am printing up uniform shirts for our Native Youth Olympics team that has their state wide competition next weekend.  I am still waiting on my order of t-shirts that I ordered the same day I ordered the screens.  I placed the order from Alphashirt which I am please with so far.  They also have a way to track orders but I have not had any success yet with that.  I plan to mix up some emulsion today and then coat my other screens that I spent time recently re-claiming and degreasing.  The next steps will be to finish an order for the US Forest Service and another order from the Kenaitze Tribe’s K’Beq’ gift shop.  I will be sure to post pictures of the process and finished products!

Ready for emulsion.

My screens are drying after removing the old emulsion and de-hazing.  Turned out alright however not entirely pleased as there were still some ghost images left behind.
