The Brother's Sales Team heads to Lawson STL to learn how to screen print.

Lawson welcomed Brother International's Regional Sales Managers from across the country to Lawson's St. Louis, MO showroom. They got the inside scoop of Lawson and hands on screen printing training. There was a tour of the Lawson hands-on demo facility, and classroom for the Brother's Sales Team. The Brother's Sales Team came to Lawson to attend our Textile Tech screen printing class to learn how to screen print. These talented sales people came with positive energy, and were eager to learn all major aspects of screen printing. They wanted to learn silk screen in order to better serve their direct-to-garment clients.

Each Brother attendee got practical screen-making and printing experience. Now they have gained a broad range of knowledge on the subject. This is sure to be of use when working with their customers. As well, some of which are traditional textile screen printers themselves. The subjects covered for the day were pre-press such as the guidelines for t-shirt design and separation, screen mesh stretching. Some lessons on capillary film and direct emulsion coating, exposure calculation were available. Ink preparation was shown. Lastly, dryer and press settings, press set up and registration, production and shop set up, equipment maintenance and how to remove a stencil from the mesh.
