You see here at YandT we never advertised [yet] we are busy thank God. because people know when they need something done they will have on time. Alot of our customers actually do not use me for their big business. I never figured out why perhaps I should learn how to give KICK BACKS to the purchase officer? I once asked one of them, you use us for all your printing what's up with the scrubs? I promise I'll beat everyone's price besides China. and if you do everything by us I'll give a better price on everything. He replied. You sell scrubs too? Seems there are people who will rather stick to flashy ads rather than quality service and price! at times it's nauseating to watch how careless and reckless, purchasers go about their job. they think the point is to get the job done. but in fact it's more important to get the job done in a cost effective way and on timely manner and if all 3 are not combined the whole purchase is kinda reckless. #embroidery #printing #swag #analysis

Something I've been longing to say: "I like what I do" Every day, I am reminded of why I am so passionate about my work in the commercial print industry. From an idea, to a delivery, it really is thrilling to see a customer's idea transition into a quote request, and then finally, a eye-catching final product. Whether it's a strategic mail campaign, an annual report, or even a business card, I see each day that commercial print provides a powerful way to communicate and connect. The impact of a well-crafted printed piece cannot be overstated— it creates a tangible experience that cannot be replicated. It's not just about ink and paper; it's about crafting meaningful experiences and building lasting impressions. Seeing our clients’ visions come to life and knowing that our work supports their goals and growth is incredibly rewarding. #CommercialPrint #PrintIndustry #ClientSuccess #PassionForPrint #PrintMatters

The discerning amongst you may notice that I added a new consulting role with Inkbit to my "jobs" bio section yesterday... Here's why: InkBit's parts are just plain good. From the day the other Priority Designs engineers and I crowded around the cardboard box of InkBit sample parts (thanks Jakob) like Dickensian waifs huddling around a candle flame on a Victorian London winter's evening in a snowdrift, I've been a fan. I used their services repeatedly when I was at PD, and found that (shockingly) the parts I got from them consistently rivaled the print quality I got in the sample parts box. Other prod dev engineers will know that's almost never the case. Face mask pads? No problem. Hard/soft multi-material parts with no bond lines? Done. Thin-walled super-soft gaskets with no print sag? Easy. So it was a no-brainer when Davide asked me to do some moonlighting with the team. InkBit helped me look good to my clients, and if you're an engineer, designer, or principal at a product development firm, I can't wait to help you look good too. And that's not an offer of fashion advice, because that's not my strong suit (pun intended).
