Please find some links and notes from the 2 Regular Guys Podcast. We talk about misinformation in garment and product decoration now and then, so we’ve decided to discuss the most common inaccuracies (kindly put) that we see and hear. Aaron, Terry plus our show producer Erich Campbell will have a roundtable discussion. Hoping to hear from the Regulators (our regular listeners) on the not-so-true information they see in the industry as well!

All the Wrong Ways to Decorate Aaron: So today I’m going to be MCing this fun, as you guys are the true production gurus. I have a couple of things I have seen but am looking forward to learning from you guys. Reminder we only have an hour. :) Before I turn it over, I wanted to share a note I got from Terri Sauers of CMO Screen Printings Supply, Inc. a while back that fits into this nicely. She suggested back then a segment on mishaps in shops and what they learned from it as well as crazy questions. Here are 2 -  "Can I cure my shirts in my clothes dryer". followed with "Can I use my hairdryer?"Terry: I’ll start with a DTG bit of misinformation that I’ve heard several times recently in seminars I’ve given.”You must pretreat all shirts, even white.”And I have a Part B: You must use a pretreated shirt within 2 weeks.Erich: The first and most well-known thing to be mishandled in embroidery is always stabilizer; You’ll notice that I didn’t call it ‘backing’ just now. Just because it looks like stabilizer, doesn’t mean you can use it as stabilizer. If the material you are putting behind your embroidery doesn’t provide dimensional stability, it isn’t stabilizer.And I *also* have a Part B: You should sample your designs on stabilizer to save money on fabric. If you sample on stabilizer, you’ll certainly see if you have entirely gross errors, but you won’t see any interaction between the embroidery and the garment itself. Worse, some folks sample on heavy, stable cutaway stabilizers and then go on to sew on light stabilizers and super-stretchy performancewear. You can’t change that many variables and have a clear idea of how a garment will react.Terry: Todd Downing: What about DTG and poly? Is that available yet?Aaron: So funny story, while we were discussing this week’s show I got an email trying to get me to post their click-bait article. Here is what it said;I've actually published a review guide on "Best Sublimation Printers You Can Buy in 2019". If you check it out, I think you'll find that my post is a lot more comprehensive and updated. I was thinking that my post might make a great addition to your article.
