Hi FAM I made another vlog, just for you. Shot it on a lazy and slow Monday/ Tues, should be good to throw on in the back ground while you do real work.
I really appreciate your sharing this video. As a fellow entrepreneur I feel for ya. What you said is exactly what I've been going through for the past 7 years. But now that things are doing great, I decided I too need to print my brand on boxes. Your insights, and knowledge will help me do what I need to do. Thank you for sharing. :-)
It is now 2022 and watching this video has so much truth. No faking it to you make it bullshit. When you are stagnant it is tough. Much respect for that message in this video about corrugating boxes.
I’m a big fan of yours. Keep using affirmations and other self help tools. I think people that do big things whether they admit it or not, believe in these things. I’ve been a screen printing TH-cam junky for the last six weeks or so. We print a lot of swag shirts for our business with other printers and really want boxes. With covid, I need to find a way to keep my team busy in an industry shut down do to covid.
Cam. You will feel the same way about the VOLT. I had a friend tell me if you get an auto the orders will come. IT IS SOO TRUE NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK. Anatol is a brand I believe in. Only have the press (Anatol Volt 8s 7 color). It has transformed us, it has tripled our business. The word gets out, the quality and the turn around. Been screen printing over 20 years and I learn from people who follow you. An awesome resource. Don't hesitate if you have a business that is getting close to max. It will grow!
Great to see you back, Cam. Your day to day issues are something I can really relate to compared to other screen printers that run off their first ever print then tell us it's better than any thing else he's seen from the local professionals.
I'm so struggling with that motivation you speak of. Mainly because I keep making mistakes with printing and I'm getting scared to take orders with my serious lack of knowledge. Thanks for being up beat and helping me find the motivation
What I have done is get the boxes that the T-shirts arrive in and pull them apart. You can put them back together inside out and have a clean surface to print on. Some of my clients are very environmentally conscience so this is a way of both branding and recycling. Whenever I do a run of new boxes I am always looking around the studio to see what else I can print on.
Came here to see the box printing. Seen a painting with the sign Jen on it. Go schooled in the best way possible but not from the box printing. It was like you read my mind with your talk on the sledge hammer and the pick it's so true none can be possitive all the time just keep picking!
Love the business vibe, I clearly just wanted a recap on printing boxes …but I got a great business boost. This is soo me right now! Thanks for the motivation (and the refresher on printing boxes)
It has to be my pc. I was working on a pc that was much older and AI and Corel would crash all the time at the worst times. Having a new pc that never crashes is a game changer when working on art and setup. Love the vids cam keep it up your real world insights are a huge motivation even when you don’t think they are. Keep it real man.
Keep on tinkin! I tink you are awesome....... You see what I did there? You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping us become better screen printers and human beings.
Favorite tool: a lens from a KR-87 ADF radio that was unserviceable for aircraft use, but is AMAZING at cleaning the platten and as a spacer on the close end of the screen.
@@ThePrintLife Tried to post a link to an image, it didn't work. It's the display lens from an aircraft radio the KR-87. It has a perfect edge for scraping the platten, but is soft enough plastic to not mar the surface. I've worked in avionics for too long, so I end up re-purposing aviation stuff in my shop. :-)
This isn’t bullshit self help man! Some common sense words of wisdom like this can really reach a person like me even a year after you posted it. Thanks for all of your wisdom and knowledge and thanks for adding me on insta.
Great advice. I really need this right now, Im a one-man army starting a printing paper bag business.I feel motivated right now. tink tink tink tink monements
Wow!!!!!!! Thank you so much for the "affirmations". I'm barely starting my screen peinting business and what you're saying totally hit home. I appreciate you talking about things that none of us like talking about. Much love to you brother. Your content and shop are amazing. Keep it up. That sledgehammer is doing a great job.
man i just discovered ur channel, im 20 and im at the end of my studies, i planned to start a brand since a long time, now that i will have more time your channel help a lot thank u
We’ve been using big canvas zipper duffles to deliver orders to contractor type clients, duffle is built into the cost on the first order, and they get a $25 credit for bringing it back. Plus it has our contact info and branding on it, so it’s a durable marketing piece, PLUS there is a little incentive to call us first on jobs because of the credit. It’s an all around win
I love your videos. You are so real and down to earth. Its great! I am in the same situation myself currently and I would LOVE to be where YOU are at right now but im just getting started. I been in a slump but im still going at it with a little TINK TINK myself. Lol keep bringing us REAL content, we ALL need it!
Box's looks great, if your reusing lots of Gildan box's ect a great tip is to get your own branded packing tape. Smother a standard box in your own branded tape and it looks sweet
Came here for screen printing knowledge and tips, left with a motivating philosophical message. I can dig this. You should do more motivational videos pertaining to the business.
13:29 I have to start using silicone for sure. I did my first job yesterday that was a 2 color job, and I got sticking. I started freaking out because I thought I was going to ruin the order.
Hey Cam, New Print fam member out south of you in Marana Az. Just wanted to say that I NEEDED that pep talk this morning, I woke up and went out to my shitty half outside shop that I'm working on with my shitty 4 color press that I'm starting with. Got everything set up and half assed about three shirts because I didn't take the time to register them properly. Long story short I KNEW I missed a step and thought I could eye ball it.. Wrong. I got depressed and tore down, went inside to think and look up some vids on registration. Found this one, listened to you, got a redbull and am jumping back on this horse. Anyway, there's a ton of shit I have to get in order to get my vision to come to fruition but stepping back dropping the sledge hammer and "tinking" some things will help. So thank you brother and keep fighting the good fight!
Fun thing you can do with boxes if you have the time (and that's not always available) but; most boxes can be disassembled and turned inside out, and then you can print that clean, inside surface!
This is why you’re my fave Cam!! Always keepin’ it real. You seriously help bring the motivation back when I’m feeling shitty. Damn Pisces brain! #camaffirmations
Hey Cam, print fam here. Have you looked into reversing your belt so you can flip the dryer and butt it back against the wall? You should be able to just flip your positive and negative on motor...
You've got to love the 60"s tie dye T... maybe could have worn that on your San Fran live gig at UNI GLO. Today for me, although you shot this months ago was another great info session. Are you live at 1:00 today Arizona time on TH-cam?
Have you ever done a video about a step by step guide for beginners,. Of how to start, what they need,. What material,.. I hope you can make video of it,.. looking forward to begin this kind of doing 😉
But super kool Bro! Thanx for sharing your craft! I just picked up a 4 head to help build my brand, I make rad replicas of hotrods for rad people 👊 imma be running threw all your vids👍 and I dig affirmations it’s necessary if you want any type of success in your life👌 keep up tha great energy and hard wrk your doing!
How do you like the new dryer?? I am very interested in that dryer especially with it having the ceramic heating elements instead of just having 2-4 Infrared panels..
So far it is awsome, it takes about 10 min to get to temp, also takes long to cool, but once there it's the most consistent electric dryer I have ever used.
The Antec is an incredible press, but it's not tool less and dose not have side clamps so I prefer the Anatol, I also had a Vastex another great press but the fact that I can use m&r slide style pallets on the anatol, it's a win across the board.
Aww man, this was so good! I've been putting days of time into learning screen printing and I've seen a ton of your videos. This one was awesome because I completely resonate with speaking to others but the message is for myself. Progress is progress, the important bit is that you recognize even one "ting" a day is substantial ground gained when in reality so many gave up after one "ting". As much as I wrote this message for you, I wrote it for myself hahaha. All the best brother, subscriber earned!
My favorite thing in the shop is probably my water based adhesive for pallets I think. Except that it soaked through and I can’t get the pallet tape off 😂 have you come across this problem?
"And you can go to hell" lol! You said it like it wouldn't have offended the person... love it! Have a shitty day and keep it moving. Its life! Anyhow I'll go about my happy self (that's how I feel right now) Good day ;)
Me either dude, They dont exist for a good price, its the shipping, Next time im going to try Kelly Paper becouse you can pick up localy with them and save the pallet shipping fee. I could find any one that offers free shipping for these things online, if you find someone let me know, and Ill do the same, I had to resort to Uline, ewww.
The Print Life yea you can’t avoid that uline shipping cost for sure I’ll keep looking and asking around If I come across a good deal I’ll hit you up Maybe we can go half’s on a pallet or two 🤷🏻♂️
Hey dude, what kind of wipes do you use. I see that wypall roll thingie. Any chance you could let me know the exact type of roll/wipes you order? I assume if they are cost effective enough for you they should be good for me too. Thanks!
Hi FAM I made another vlog, just for you. Shot it on a lazy and slow Monday/ Tues, should be good to throw on in the back ground while you do real work.
The Print Life that’s exactly what I’m doing. Have you playing in the background while I work, appreciate the tips and info. Respect
@@freeman5246 Oh fuck yea you are the man then! Thank you for watching my vids my dude.

Seriously one of your best vids yet. Echoes the fluctuation in determination and motivation and positivity experienced by all entrepreneurs
That self-help moment was unexpected but well received!
Tink tink... very wise
haha call it the tink tink method, thank Kat Williams for that word.
I’m a big fan of yours. Keep using affirmations and other self help tools. I think people that do big things whether they admit it or not, believe in these things.

With covid, I need to find a way to keep my team busy in an industry shut down do to covid.
5 years later and this video is STILL inspirational. Is that word just as bad as the "A" word?
Cam. You will feel the same way about the VOLT. I had a friend tell me if you get an auto the orders will come. IT IS SOO TRUE NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK. Anatol is a brand I believe in.

Oh yes I love that volt, it's the bomb
Great to see you back, Cam. Your day to day issues are something I can really relate to compared to other screen printers that run off their first ever print then tell us it's better than any thing else he's seen from the local professionals.
Ah yes, that mentality is abundant in every business, dont sweat those folks. They know not what they do.
Wise words, brother! Keep swinging and chipping, whether with a 20 ounce pick or a 20 pound sledge!
I definitely needed that self help moment, its human, it makes me feel less alone
I'm so struggling with that motivation you speak of. Mainly because I keep making mistakes with printing and I'm getting scared to take orders with my serious lack of knowledge. Thanks for being up beat and helping me find the motivation

I agree. I work to keep a positive mindset as much as I can but things get messy.
Love the business vibe, I clearly just wanted a recap on printing boxes …but I got a great business boost. This is soo me right now! Thanks for the motivation (and the refresher on printing boxes)
I needed to hear that self help comment. Thank you :)
GLAD YOU ARE BACK CAM!!!!1

Pressure washer. Its satisfying.
It has to be my pc. I was working on a pc that was much older and AI and Corel would crash all the time at the worst times.

What is it???
@@ThePrintLife Tried to post a link to an image, it didn't work.
It's the display lens from an aircraft radio the KR-87. It has a perfect edge for scraping the platten, but is soft enough plastic to not mar the surface.
I've worked in avionics for too long, so I end up re-purposing aviation stuff in my shop. :-)
as long as your passionate about what your doing you will always be positive.

Box's looks great, if your reusing lots of Gildan box's ect a great tip is to get your own branded packing tape. Smother a standard box in your own branded tape and it looks sweet
Yea Inalso saw one shop had 8x11 stickers they would place on the sides of the box

Yup that Into song Is the only reason I keep making them.
This is why you’re my fave Cam!! Always keepin’ it real. You seriously help bring the motivation back when I’m feeling shitty. Damn Pisces brain! #camaffirmations
I tink you're on to something!
Hey Cam, print fam here. Have you looked into reversing your belt so you can flip the dryer and butt it back against the wall? You should be able to just flip your positive and negative on motor...
Makes sense The only issue is the vent is built into that end so It wouldnt have that pulling the fumes out.
Ok I'm tinking right now.. Lmao your so right!! Just keep people out of ypur mix .. Lmao your cool man!!!
Thank You for all 😎😎😎
Poor little Tink Tink
You got it.
Your so right I'm gping through it now slow people will say mess! Just dont talk about it to people so they can't speak on your business
Good point.
So true, dude. Keep chipping away at a pace you can sustain.

Do you use a motorized slider for the time lapse dolly movements? Loved the self help bullshit part. No joke.
Yes I do. It's a cheap one from Ali Express
Deeeeeeeep 😜💯😂

Deeper than a well digger.
"Keep tinkin on it" Cam. Best piece of equipment in the shop is the dip tank. I hate cleaning screens.
"You can go to hell" got me laughing hard
Table space!
Most used equipment besides the press...my printer, most definitely
How do you like the new dryer?? I am very interested in that dryer especially with it having the ceramic heating elements instead of just having 2-4 Infrared panels..
So far it is awsome, it takes about 10 min to get to temp, also takes long to cool, but once there it's the most consistent electric dryer I have ever used.
Cool video bro. How’s the Anatol compare to your old Antec?
The Antec is an incredible press, but it's not tool less and dose not have side clamps so I prefer the Anatol, I also had a Vastex another great press but the fact that I can use m&r slide style pallets on the anatol, it's a win across the board.
The Print Life yeah man that makes sense. plus it looks nice!
What's the squegee duro hardness recommended for cardboard?

Great video, as always! Where do you source your boxes by the way?
Roland vs540 print n cut wide format printer - favourite equipment in my shit-hole, sorry, in my shop.
Love your videos brother! Do you get your blank boxes from uline?
Yes the shipping cost is bull shit.
@@ThePrintLife my thoughts exactly lol. Keep up the awesome vids brother
Hey man, glad you’re back! It’s been a while. I’m loving the moving time lapses how the hell did you do them?
Thanks Kevin, Is a motorized slider, I have had the things for ever just dont use it often.
My favorite thing in the shop is probably my water based adhesive for pallets I think. Except that it soaked through and I can’t get the pallet tape off 😂 have you come across this problem?
thanks for the pep talk. tinkin' away because the big hammer isn't cutting it.
Do you still recommend this paint for boxes?
"And you can go to hell" lol! You said it like it wouldn't have offended the person... love it! Have a shitty day and keep it moving. Its life! Anyhow I'll go about my happy self (that's how I feel right now) Good day ;)
I have been wanting to do that for the longest but I can’t find the boxes for a good price
... check Uline
Me either dude, They dont exist for a good price, its the shipping, Next time im going to try Kelly Paper becouse you can pick up localy with them and save the pallet shipping fee. I could find any one that offers free shipping for these things online, if you find someone let me know, and Ill do the same, I had to resort to Uline, ewww.
The Print Life yea you can’t avoid that uline shipping cost for sure
I’ll keep looking and asking around
If I come across a good deal I’ll hit you up
Maybe we can go half’s on a pallet or two 🤷🏻♂️
Where can I get a sreen and paint?I have different box sizes. Will i need multiple screens?
Hey dude, what kind of wipes do you use. I see that wypall roll thingie. Any chance you could let me know the exact type of roll/wipes you order? I assume if they are cost effective enough for you they should be good for me too. Thanks!
Average box dimensions you use? Same size for medium and large orders? Smaller box for smaller orders?
What printer did you use, Sir?
Hi Cam, What's your squeegee holder ? DIY or you bought it ?
I got them from Advanced Screen
