Blackout started out of pure passion for the craft. Even going back a few years, I honestly had no idea how shirts were printed. As the only graphic design student in my fraternity, I was always tasked with designing and ordering shirts for recruitment, fundraisers, etc. From working with the company that printed our shirts, I slowly started to learn and understand the process and it quickly caught my interest.
Like many print shops, it started small and as more of a hobby than a business shortly after graduating college. I started with cheap equipment set up in my basement just printing in my spare time. A few years later, Blackout has become my dedicated full time career and is servicing hundreds of clients all over the country. There are thousands of print shops all over the country, and they all do the same thing: print shirts.
But very few take the necessary steps to ensure that those shirts they are printing are good quality. I can't tell you how many stores I have gone to and seen shirts that have prints that are not properly cured which will wash away as soon as they go through the wash, or the print is crooked or not centered.
