Spring Has Sprung
Sorry for not updating, but we have been busy busy busy, here at Squeegeeville.
Strong sales at the end of 2007 and the start of 2008 at TMI Screenprinting. We were in upstate NY installing a 4×8′ Jaguar airlift at Mercury Aircraft. From there, we went to the TOC Maquinas Industriales factory in Mexico to check on construction of another set of Jaguar 4×8′ press and matching 82″x153″ HD exposing frame heading to UPC in Madison Wisconsin. We also got a peak at the first production run or our new Rabbit Micro adjust clamp set, and these are now ready for sale from our distribution centre in Austin, or here in BC Canada.
We also visited Austin and SXSW music conference where we once agian ran a very successful demo program at Flatstock 16, the ginormous rock poster exhibition. After a week of great people, beer, BBQ and music, we were off to Madison to install the press at UPC. Amazing facility. amazing products - they make custom product and store displays.
Returning home, my wife and I have decided to sell our properties here in Courtenay, on Vancouver Island BC. 2 properties, side by side, older houses on each, plus the recently rebuilt studio, all on 1.25 acres in town. These will probably go to developers, (we want to sell both at once) but if someone was looking for a fully equipped screenprinting studio, with framing studio, and income producing rental house, and room to relax in a beautiful spot in the world, get in touch and I will hook you up with our Realtor. We live on a deadend street, perfect for kids, and if you like gardening…well, it’s a little slice of paradise.
If we do sell just the properties, I will be wanting to sell my larger format equipment as it will not fit into the new space. TMI Jaguar airlift 3′x4′ press, and exposing frame - I will entertain all offers, and let it go at a good price. http://www.tmiscreenprinting.com if you want to see the press, click on the video when you enter the site.
Classes at the studio are in full swing, and we have just added some in July that will take place at the Art Gallery in town. we are going to run one aimed at adults, and one at youth 10-18. Information and contact info is in the workshop section of this site.
That’s it for now. Keep smiling!
