I love screen printing!
I have been doing it for over 30 years.
I am constantly pushing my talent and striving to learn new processes to make better products.
In the last 23 years I have owned and operated 2 screen shops, def-Star Industries and New Republic.
While I love printing, I HATE small business ownership.
I have always been of the belief if you are not happy with your life, change it!
Life is too short, and family, friends and happiness is more important than money.
So I quit!
Effective immediately, New Republic is closed permanently.
Owning a business has hindered my love for the art and has made it so I almost walked away from the screen printing industry all together.
I said almost walked away.
While the shop is closing, I am taking a position with another shop, “Monster Ink Tees,” as the head printer and production manager.
Only fitting one of the best monster printers goes to work for “Monster Ink Tees”
Back on topic, sorry, what does this mean?
All current orders in the shop will ship asap and be delivered by their requested due dates.
No new orders will be accepted by New Republic.
All current quote requests will be responded to from Monster Ink Tees.
All current customers, and I have a lot, will receive a direct email from me explaining how to place new orders with Monster Ink Tees.
My customers will not notice a difference in print quality with the move as I will still be the printing. The only real difference should be point if contact and business name as well as all new product offerings.
Trust me when I say this is a positive transition for me and Melissa.
So I will answer any questions I deem fit and delete anything I don’t. Some maybe answered thru dms if they are too personal.
All social accounts for New Republic will be closed, or redirected to Monster Ink Tees
My personal accounts will remain.
If you read this far, Thank you!
Know that your support over the years has meant the world to us and we do hope you will continue to do so.
