SquidSlurp Blog

Do you know how to spend too much time in an Home Depot; we do. We went there yesterday and spent more than 3 hours there. Our initial goal was to buy what is necessary to build our own silkscreen printing exposure unit. We actually ended up buying much more, here is the list:

• 5 fluorescent lamps
• 10 fluorescent tubes
• an exacto knife with blades
• 25$ worth of wood already cut
• a garden hose
• a water duct splitter
• a measuring tape
• a 1800 electric pressure washer
• a pack of Juicy Fruit

We spent most of our time thinking about how we should build the UV exposure unit and we finally decided that the dimensions would be 53 inches by 37 inches based upon the fact that our biggest silk frame was 40 inches by 30 inches and the length off the lamps was 48 inches.

We are going to document how we made our UV screen print exposure unit and we will make a tutorial about it.

We had this idea about making T-shirt to sell on the web for a little while now (about 3 years) but it all came together on January 1st (I don’t remember if it was before or after midnight but there definitely was alcohol implicated). So this is the website of SquidSlurp; our silkscreen printing company.

As you can see, we are starting from scratch (at the moment of this post, this website is only a white page with 2 paragraph of text) and this site will have a blog that will document our journey.

Our objective is to gather the material necessary to do commercial silkscreen printing, build a lucrative business around it and finally, develop a fully functional e-commerce website around it.

More on the subject soon.
