Welcome to my Small Shop Advocate blog. Where I post ideas, techniques and tips for the small screen printing shop. Many technical posts will be relevant and helpful to any size shop.
This blog is sponsored by The Grendel Inc.. My blog does not accept any form of advertising, sponsorship, or paid insertions. I write for our own purposes. However, I am always influenced by my experience, logic, reason, facts my empathy and love of small business and the great people I meet and lastly because I have been in the industry for far too long and know far too many things I wish I could forget about.
I am the owner of this blog and sadly do not receive compensation in any way from my pontification.
I am not compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. The views and opinions I express on this blog are purely my own. I don't need to claim to be an expert on any topic or product or service I think the logic, reasons, and facts will stand on their own, I do encourage you to verify anything I post and let me know if there is a mistake - I accept critisism and make changes to my posts, thoughts, classes, methods and life in general almost daily.
I will only review or suggest products or ideas that I believe, are worthy of my time. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified, feel free to contact me at any time if you have an issue, thought, or just want to vent.
I freely advertise the following contacts, relationships, and general support of the following companies, organizations or individuals that have a huge impact on the content of this blog, my work in the industry and sometimes my sanity. Knowing that there are some good people out there makes my day.
