to the sports arena where your favorite team
plays, print is on display everywhere. So why don't
people know about it? Andy MacDougall dives into
why those outside our industry aren't making the
connection, and what we can do about it.

Watch for Ongoing Improvements in DTG Inks
Eileen Fritsch

have made strides refining DTG machines and ink. Explore recent
improvements in DTG inks and learn what may be on the horizon.
