Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. (Click on photo to enlarge...you will be amazed)

How this image was printed using Newman frames on a pique shirt

Screen:  1. 200 microns 3-DSQ yellow ink using a  retensionable screen with mesh...then flash
                2. 20 micron red half tone dots on a 305 mesh as the background
                3. 200 microns 3-DSQ yellow again with 60 mesh for the top and bottom raised borders
                     ..........and then the 2nd flash
                4. 20 microns red half tone dots on the top and bottom borders
                5. 20 microns for black lines on the top and bottom borders
                6. 400 micron 3-DSQ black to print "Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.".....and then in the
                     conveyor dryer for 2-3 minutes for heat penetration on a lower heat  setting
                     that does not scorch the shirt.

This shirt was printed by our customer and good friends of more than 15 years, The Printed Image, Chico, CA on both manual and automatic presses after R Jennings Mfg introduced our friends there to better quality capillary film than they had been using.   They were impressed with the ease of use.  So we introduced them to laminating films, the 3-D ink  (which was first printed as the Paramount image), and our technology.   As you can see, The Printed Image does great work!              

   Paramount Pictures (Click on photo to enlarge.......you will be amazed)
 

Embroidery cannot match this resolution.  Lots of companies care about their image, and certainly Paramount which has been in the movie business for many years wants their apparel to match what we all see on the big screen.  Embroidery just doesn't do the job!

This is real easy printing: 200 micron capillary film on a Newman retensionable frame with 60 monofilament mesh stretched over 50 N/cm.  The ink is white 3-D as sold by R Jennings Mfg., including our tech support to make the ink print like pudding.

Even a home based business can make this screen using a home made exposure unit from a simple drawing provided free by R Jennings Mfg. Co.

Lots of local businesses would love a pique or collared shirt for sales reps, waiters, delivery people, tourists, coaches and more printed like this.  Lands End charges about $45 per shirt with sewing and digitizing charges, but the shirt costs $10 and the ink less than 10 cents.  What are you going to charge?  $35?  or $40?  or $45?

  Adobe (of Photoshop  fame) (Click on photo to be Amazed)

Click on the embroidered image on the left, and then the printed image on the right.  Which looks better?  Image and graphics are important to Adobe like many companies, including your customers.  And the printed shirt is more comfortable to wear, because the image is flexible and there is no patch in the shirt like the bug bite that won't go away.  You can match all PMS colors with printing, but all colors are not available in thread.  Lots of companies are very particular about color matching when displaying national brand images, for example.

This is two color printing as simple as it gets.  Use the same formula as used for Paramount.

  HD High Density Headwear (Printed for the cover of Printwear Magazine)
(Click on the photo to be amazed!)

Photographic resolution over the seam and rough texture of a 6 panel cap........with such detail in small letters like "Headwear" and with the image straight across the cap.  You need to be in the big leagues with equipment and technology from R Jennings Manufacturing Co. to print like this, because there is not competitor to R Jennings Mfg. in the world which can match this print, or many other prints we have produced for customers, friends and the folks who visited our booth at trade shows over the years.  Who needs a trade show when the good stuff is right here?

This cap was, of course, printed on a Jennings 4 color cap press using, of course, Newman M-1 "Jennings Style" cap frames stretched so tight that the thin bar bows.

  Ulano  (Click on the photo)

Printed by Roger Jennings at the request of the Ulano Corporation for distribution to international and domestic distributors and customers using Ulano thick films and 3-D ink formulated to PMS standards.  Embroidery can't touch this resolution or type of graphic.

First, a solid black image was printed with 3-D ink through a thick film, and flash cured.  However, see how well detail like the (R) came out.  Then a choked version of the black image was printed in the lighter red 3-D ink and flashed.  Last, a darker ink was printed as the grid over the red in perfect registration using a table top, 4 color Jennings press with Pinpoint Micro Registration (TM).  With a Jennings press, notice the image is straight across the cap parallel to the bill rather than distorted like you would have with another brand of cap press.

We like to be known by the company we keep, and Ulano is the best Company in the emulsion field.

  American Flag (Click to see perfect registration)

Printed over a seam of a 6 panel cap by Roger Jennings, notice also that the symmetrical image is absolutely straight without distortion and parallel to the bill of the cap.  Competitors can't match that. Most important, as a new printing technology, is the simple on-press registration that is perfect.  All the colors butt register without gaps between colors or overlaping colors that cause bleeding.  Here is how that is accomplished.

Normally, the flag would be on  your computer monitor and you would click on separations to produce a positive for each color.  Then the person on the press would have to register those colors and keep them in registration throughout a production run.  That might be difficult, depending on the person and equipment.  Here is how to take all the stress out.

The first color is 3-D white to cover the seam and textured denim surface.  Flash.  The second and third colors can be printed wet-on-wet, and the only registration required is where the blue and red touch.  The white is behind the red and blue so that the white is knock out color.

The American Flag on apparel is very popular.  Cutting edge tech support from R Jennings is very popular among our customers.  We don't just sell products.  We make sure the customer gets the optimal product for their application, plus the tech support to make the job easy, fun and profitable.  You won't find that elsewhere.  So, call us at 800 500 2279 and find out how helpful we can be.
