The format
What every workshop looks like
One thesis runs through the whole morning: hybrid is the advantage. DTG is the premium print for cotton; DTF reaches everything cotton can't. Knowing how to run them together is the edge single-method shops don't have. Every demo is a piece of that.
-
1
Hybrid is the story
DTG = premium hand-feel on cotton. DTF = strategic print for polyester, hard substrates, neck labels. The combo we innovated is the competitive advantage.
-
2
Applications, live
The demos we patented and pioneered — shoes (even the tongues) on our AccuLine system, under-the-bill on hats, framed canvas, and skateboards done right.
-
3
DTF deep-dive
The Kern DTF lineup, our platen systems, and basic bin-and-oven vs a professional Schultz powder/dryer/pretreat workflow.
-
4
Pretreat, dialed in
Live calibration — grams per LMS by color and weight, sanding grits for decks, and DTF on leather done safely. Leave with the cheat sheets.
-
5
The shop ecosystem
How we build a contained, climate-controlled environment so your prints stay consistent batch after batch.
-
6
What you take home
Clear definitions, the tools for each method, printed cheat sheets, pre-printed Kern DTF samples, and a direct line for follow-up.
Good to know
Before you come
Who is this for?
Anyone decorating apparel — from people just getting started to shop owners who want the hybrid DTG + DTF edge. You tell us your experience level when you reserve, and we pitch the room accordingly.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just yourself. Everything you need is on the floor. If there's a specific garment or substrate you want to try a print path on, bring it — we'll work it into the demos. Full details land in your confirmation email.
Is lunch really included?
Yes — lunch is on us, and you tell us about any dietary needs when you reserve so there's something good for everyone.
Where do I park?
We're at our Santa Fe Springs showroom. Parking and arrival directions are sent in your confirmation email a few days before the workshop.
What if I can't make it?
Reach out and we'll sort out a transfer to a future date. Refund and transfer terms are confirmed at checkout and in your confirmation email.
Not sure which date? Get on the list.
We run these on Saturdays through the year. Tell us you're interested and we'll let you know the next time seats open.
