Default Sk8boards! >>>UPDATED<<<
Ive been working at a huge screen print shop for the last 5.5 years now and have just started my own small time shop.

We print Shirts, Gig Posters, Vinyl Decals.

Our goal was eventually to get into printing skateboards and other odd shaped items. However, we recently got a 200+ order for some skate decks.. full bleed plus 4 colours. We kinda just fell into the job.

Has anyone out there done this before? Im in desperate need of some help. I can't even wrap my head around this. 1 colour no problem not even a issue! I could rig up a Jig in no time.. but 5 colour?

If you could point me in the right direction, or even to someone who can handle such a job.

Im very interested in this.

Cheers!

get a used 4 or 6 color t-shirt carousel press and adapt it.

Thats a tough one. Printing skateboards is a nightmare. I'll ask around and see what I can find out. I'm sure I could find you a place that can print them if you want to sub contract the job.

You aren't gonna be able to print tip to tail with your setup. It's just not gonna happen. Where are you? I've got people in Oakland if they have to be screen printed.

We are based out of Vancouver Canada.

At all possible, we would like to keep it in Canada. But that is not set in stone for obvious reasons.

Flouride--> I got your private message! Thanks, Im going to persue those avenues for sure, see what happens. Thanks again man!

Cheers...
