    Hello from Central Virginia! My wife Pam & I have been in business since January 2004. Our training was in February that year. We actually started in Chesapeake, VA for two & a half years then moved halfway across the state to Madison Heights. At first things were slow but since moving out here we've really had an increase in business.

    We work primarily with non-profit organizations and have about 6 local customers who are constant repeats. Our name is getting around and people are liking the new choice in the area.

    Before we arrived there was really only one other promotional products business and they were actually a t-shirt business that just added on promotional products. They are a provider of apparel to just about every college in the state. As you probably have guessed their problem is that they don't do small runs of anything. So we are filling that niche.

    The in-house services we offer are pad printing, DTG, twisted pens, 2-1/4" buttons, engraving and heat press. So far the DTG has been our largest draw here. While we've had some problems with our T-Jet2 (which I'll discuss in another forum) it is now up and operating better now than it was when we purchased it. Within the past three months we've done over 500 shirts and this and next month will probably do another 600 shirts.

    We are fortunate to have Adam Blath and the Potomac-PAP group at our disposal. They are a great group of people and great sources of information and processes.

    If you need us for anything don't hesitate to call or contact us. Our information is below.

    Thanks,

    Hey Paul!

    Thanks for joining the forum. Look forward to hearing from you, and any tips that you have for us on how to grow our businesses. Would really like to hear from you on how you like your T-Jet. Have you seen any issues with support since US Screen has gone out of business?

    As we grow this site, please feel free to post your questions/comments both here and on paptech. That will ensure that you get maximum exposure to your posts, as well as ensuring that we grow our knowlege base here on "The Big Orange".

    Have a great day!
