How Does Live Printing Work?

We freight the station to Cincinnati, fly the crew in a day ahead, build it at your venue, and print each guest's piece while they wait. Each guest's wait is about two minutes from ordering to wearing it.

The four moves on a Cincinnati job

  1. Brief and art. You send the date, the room and a headcount. Art gets locked about a week out, which is also when the blanks are ordered.
  2. Freight out. Presses, dryers, heat presses and blanks go out by truck from Fullerton, timed to the venue's receiving window. At Duke Energy Convention Center that means a dock time. A space at The Banks or in Over-the-Rhine usually just needs a door and a cart path.
  3. Build and test. The crew lands the day before, sets up the station and runs test prints before doors.
  4. Print live, then strike. Guests pick a design and a size, watch it printed, and walk off wearing it. Teardown follows your run-of-show and the gear ships home.

It works indoors or out: an expo hall downtown, a club level at Great American Ball Park, a brewery hall in Over-the-Rhine, a tent near Sawyer Point. If the date moves, two weeks' notice keeps the freight simple. Tell us about your event and we'll map the setup.
