Somehow I haven’t made any effort to find a good print shop for custom T-shits in Berlin. I was just lucky enough to find one in my very neighborhood…
- Fast, Reasonable, Enjoyable.
A man was asking to change the design of “Kreuzberg 60″ T-shirt on display into “XXXXX 80″, so that he could make a gift for his father’s 80th birthday.
As they said they accept my own design too, I gave a vector file of “Summer of Beer” and it was converted immediately into a cutting data. Then we chose a plain T-shirt and the printing material, gold colored rubber. print cut. heat press. 10 min! The T-shirt cost 8 Euro and 12 Euro for the print. such a fun experience for 20 Euro:D Of course, not only for the entertainment, I’m very satisfied with the result itself. Especially I like rubber print (than direct inkjet), for it’s brilliance and tolerance for washing..
Hanko/Inkan, a Japanese personal seal, made of colorful acrylic. In Japan every individual must have his own Hankos for signing of important or even unimportant documents. “A baby’s personalized Hanko” for “his/her first bank account”… is thus a very popular item among parents.
I’m more than happy… My friend, professional jewelry creator, did excellent work again. ..or, is it too excellent this time? Such an irony, but people could mistake it for being machine-made. Now we’re talking about a new one with a more handmade feel, with delicate and irregular lines. We keep moving forward.
I moved to Berlin with one suitcase, occupied by “silhouette CAMEO”, my favorite electronic cutting machine. I love the tangibility of the vinyl decals and… recently I found that it works perfectly as an anti-slip sticker for smartphone!
