Who really uses T-Seps and FastFilms?
Some days I feel like a hairdresser. I know much more than I should. Over the years I have had the great pleasure of seeing a LOT of great shirt images of famous people, places, and things that came from FastFilms and now T-Seps. If you look at some of the samples on the T-Seps [...]
What Can We Learn From Fashion Week? By Scott Fresener
Fashion week was held last week in New York City and I think for the masses it is one more boring “I could never wear that” event. But, if you are in the decorated apparel industry you need to not think of runway shows and Fashion Week as not being part of what you do. [...]

T-RIP NEW Version Release
Comments by Scott Fresener.

Color Separations by Scott Fresener $50
Order color separations here.
Over the years I have done thousands and thousands of color separations. I taught the process for years to large and small companies in the US and overseas. In 1999 I developed FastFilms because I felt the industry needed a way to do high-end separations cheaply and in house. I still feel [...]
