It's 1 April 2013, do you know what your Bapu is up to?
Well, it's in my signature. At noon today I take full possession of a fully operational silk screen and sublimation print shop. The company comes with a solid repeat business base and of course I will be looking for ways to "grow" the business. I want to sincerely thank Straummy for helping with the 2013 update to the company logo.

Hey baps,
Are you going to use the sublimation equipment to make up some bicycle jerseys and sponsor a racing team?
I'm a XXXL in bicycle jersey math.
:-)
I hope you have a great time. I have an acquaintance that has a printing business based in a obscure and small rural town. He does most of the T shirts for many of the big southern universities licensed logo soft goods sales. He has a 70 foot boat and he can afford the gas.
best regards,
mike

Thanks everybody.
It's exciting.
I was a silk screener for seven years at the beginning of my career, so this is not a "new" field for me. Returning to my roots so to speak.
Jimmy, this is not a retail outlet. This is a "wholesale manufacturing" company.

I used to work with (not for) a business like this. They grew, sold the business, had a falling out with the brothers but I looked them up and am pleased to see that they are back in business. I hope you do as well. They started in the 70as T-Shirt Express then renamed to something else. They became huge with NASCAR products. This is them now: http://www.thephoenixgroupinc.com/who-history.html Bapu... I hope you do really well! The sky is the limit for you in this business!

I don't know much of anything about silk screening and sublimation-ing.
So my advice to you is to ignore any advice I might give you.
But congrats and an offer of best wishes with the new business are in order!

Bapu, on the one hand, I truly wish you well in your new old roots business venture, and that you do very well. It is undoubtedly a very exciting opportunity.
On the other hand - and I am doubtlessly in the (probably small) minority on this one - I would personally wish your new business had a less "wicked" marketing orientation.

You know, since I didn't know what sublimation-ing is (it sounded like it might be a dance), I decided to look it up. From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sublimation?s=t: sub·li·ma·tion [suhb-luh-mey-shuhn] Show IPA
noun
1.
Psychology . the diversion of the energy of a sexual or other biological impulse from its immediate goal to one of a more acceptable social, moral, or aesthetic nature or use.
Now I understand why you didn't want to share it with us.

Hi,
I guess that Bapu is going to tell us next that there is no money in the music business ... might as well silk screen!
I'll be sending you some business!
Can you also do some real tie-die's? Had a lady here at work, but she is bored and not creative anymore ... and my tie-die's are a bit boring now ... blue -- that looks like it has coffee spots on it. Burgundy that looks like it has coffee spots on it ... she's lost her touch!
As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!
