John,

Everytime you post a new photo it blows me away even more than the last one. These shirts your doing are just so amazing.

I agree with Ian, they are fabby

I asked John to do the Sunderland to newcastle shirt and am blown away with the quality of the print. I screen print t'shirts for a living and would struggle to replicate the coverage, especially the yellow, and the quality. In fact I couldn't take the job on, for one offs, as the cost of 4 screens would make it unfeasible.

Cheers John

So, John when are you getting a DTG machine?

Love one - but for that price you have to keep them busy, i'd prefer to farm my full colour work to John at Stitch up.

John, I have around 11,000 reasons why I can't buy one

Sorry for not replying sooner guys, I don't seem to be getting the 'usual' notifying emails!

Anyway, thanks for the comments and at last, I can say the Neoflex is becoming enjoyable to use Believe me, it's been a struggle to get to grips with. Don't believe the garbage some distributors put out when they say it's easy - like everything, it's easy when you know how. To give you some idea, I've probably trashed 100 shirts and I hate waste.

I have to commend All American for their support - it's been amazing. I recall telling them when I was at the FESPA show in Munich, that I had an order for 50 shirts as soon as I got the Neoflex back home. Their comment; "You'll never do it"'. They were right - I subbed it.

John, I was amazed at the vibrancy of the yellow on that shirt too - it's like it's flourescent! I wasn't so happy with the feel but I'm working on that and getting far better results.

I just did an interview for [url="http://www.Images-magazine.com]www.Images-magazine.com[/url], never heard of it myself but the article will be in the November issue - I'll try and get permission to post it here.

I'll keep posting my pics here - only the good ones

Well done John, glad to read that you have nearly mastered the DTG printer, I hope also that you have managed to wash the SH** out of the designs of your football shirts.

Wish I could say I had mastered the art of DTG printing!! And just when I was making some headway, All American produce a full featured RIP for the Neoflex and so the learning curve starts all over again

Anyway, here are a few shirts printed using the new RIP software. These images were not processed in anyway other than automatically by the RIP software. The black in the image was a black fill and not a transparent layer, the RIP did it all. The detail and blending is amazing!





and a close up - it feels warm just looking at it


The important thing for me is that I'm no pro when it comes to preparing artwork for the Neoflex and any manual processing does take up valuable time.

I've been away with work for 3 weeks, hence my absence from the boards.

PS For some strange reason, I no longer get any notifiations when someone sends me messages or replied to my posts! If you need me to reply to anything, do give me a prod to my email address [email="john@stitch-up.biz]john@stitch-up.biz[/email]

AB-SO-LUTE-LY mind blowing, I am sure I won't be the only one who is so JEA-LO-US....
