Decorating Socks – When decorating both sides of the sock all over with sublimation you can get a white line between the 2 sides. There are 2 solutions to this. First, when using a jig, take the sock and just slightly roll it so the imaged area just moves to the other side of the jig. The more careful you can be with this the less likely you will have a noticeable line. The second solution is to get socks that have a black interior so you don’t need a jig and the black shows through slightly when the customer puts them on their foot and you have a good-looking sock without the hassle of a jig.

Email Marketing – My tip is to make sure you have a good plan for email marketing. I suggest using a service as this is a cost that will pay for itself in no time. Some of the best services out there are Mail Chimp, Topica, Constant Contacts and iContact. Give them a test drive to see what one is easiest for you to use. Things to look for are the ability to easily create emails with logos and templates with no design experience needed. Ability to manages your email list and clean duplicates and manage bounces. Ability to grow your email list by creating Opt In lists and product interest groups and capture emails from your website or SM pages. The program needs to have good social media linking and scheduling to make Social Media and Email Marketing Work together. Finally it need to have stats and tracking. This allows you to do A/B testing easier and you can see what moves your customers.

Exposure Calculator An exposure calculator is basically a film positive that comes with five or more identical images including fine lines and dots. Using our best guess starting point exposure times, we double that time and expose the film onto a screen, and wash out as normal. After the screen is complete, hold it up to a light and compare the different images. The one that is exposed the best, where the image looks the most crisp, is our target. A formula under that image will tell us our ideal exposure time.

Exposure calculators are available from all emulsion manufacturers and your local supplier might give you this exposure film for free.

Heat Press Maintenance – Use heat strips to make sure your heat press temperature is correct. They are relatively inexpensive and I would suggest using these one a month, or at least once a quarter. Place them in all 4 corners and one in the middle and press as if you were pressing your most common item (as long as the temp is in the strip range) to make sure it is actually at the correct temp. Press for 10 seconds and then verify the temperature is the same as the readout.
