Ryonet's own Luke Ryerkerk was recently caught on camera discussing a comparison between two types of sqeegee handles, the Ergo Force handle and a wooden handle... it's a good detail to consider. Really.

Starting today we'll be featuring a reoccurring topic for Mondays... we're calling them Marketing Mondays since Marketing will be the common theme. That and we just love alliteration: Mmmmmarketing Mmmmmmmondays! In all seriousness we think it will be a great way to start the week and we're excited to dive into this vast and important topic. Don't be shy, let us know your thoughts and questions. Join the conversation and let us know what you want to read about!!!

To get things rolling we want to quickly talk about the purpose of Marketing

Near and dear our hearts is the work of our customers… from time to time we hear from some of you, and sometimes you’re telling us “Thank You”. Here’s the thing, it’s truly our pleasure. We love to share the awesomeness that is screen printing! We celebrate your victories right along with you and want to help trouble shoot your challenges. Every screen printer has a unique story to tell and we think that’s pretty cool. We received a letter recently from Eric Sanchez and wanted to tell you about his story. Eric got started in screen printing as a part time sales rep. Things have changed a lot in the last eight years—he and his wife, Maria, now run their own screen printing company called Kolor Splash. We asked Eric to share a little bit about his journey—How he started, what inspired him, what it means to have his own company, what it’s like working as a husband/wife team etc.

We thought you might need a chuckle... a little LOL in your afternoon! You can thank Nick (one of our resident video gurus and member of Ryonet's Marketing team) for rounding up some pretty funny things commonly said to screen printers from our screen printer friends on Facebook.

Come one, come all!!! Those of you who are looking to hire a screen printer now or even if you know you'll be needing to soon... we've got an excellent opportunity for you!!! We're wrapping up our Workforce Training Academy class and have 14 trained and qualified students who are excited to find work in the screen printing industry.

We've got their photos, bios and resumes posted under the Workforce Training Academy 2012 menu on the blog's main page for you to see. Go ahead, take a peak... we're proud of them!!!

It's no secret that we're passionate about screen printing around these parts... screens, ink, presses, squeegees-it all gets us pretty excited! So much so, that we made a video last July as our ode to screen printing. That's right, an ODE. Above and beyond the craft of screen printing itself, our goal was (and is) to acknowledge the people behind the printing... SCREEN PRINTERS!!! You are the reason we do what we do and why we love it, truly. Check out our second video... our second ode... we're on a roll... because you're awesome!!!
