Campus Ink's New Screen Printing Facility | Shop Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- We finally get a chance to visit Campus Ink’s new facility in Champaign, IL. Campus Ink’s enterprising and resourceful team built a screen printing, DTG, signage and heat press production facility with an eye toward growth.
Steven just got a split-belt M&R dryer that helps them cure two different types of ink at the same time. They were fortunate enough to find a building that had been used to make semiconductors and microchips with some land for growth. The entire building was already wired for 220V power, with fairly low ceilings and air conditioning already in place. That’s a dream find for moving your shop.
Steven explains that his 2006 Lawson Trooper is still going strong. They’ve modified it to be a simple 4-station press. They use it daily as a simple way to speed through simple orders that are white-flash-white.
Steven, Dalton (production manager) and Matt (logistics master and online stores pro) from Campus Ink walk you through:
Why almost everything in the shop is on wheels
The workflow they’re going to print and hang in the shop
Why they marked their shipping area with giant labels on the ground
How quadrants organize their screen room
Why they keep their darkroom simple and streamlined
How intake and shipping work in their shop (with Printavo)
A super cool browser extension that makes counting garments in a little bit easier (It's called Web Paint, you can download it here:chrome.google....)
Campus Ink is an amazing shop that’s hyper-focused on improving and building something better. It was a real treat to get to look inside their operation and see how they’re growing, learning, and expanding.

I appreciate these tours! super helpful when planning out the future of my shop! please keep them coming
Awesome, glad they help! Loads more to come, we promise.
Def would like to see more tours like these!
You're in luck - we've got plenty more coming! Thank you!
Any possibility of adding something to printavo that would allow checkins in to be done like this but that won’t erase with the refreshing of the screen. A visual process for check ins would be great. Or even just a way to check in at all would be good
This is a great space...but the lack of natural light would slowly drive me insane. Great video and they do have a great set up for the perfect flow.
Hah, honestly, you'd never notice it at the shop. They typically have the large garage doors open on the south and east sides of the shop, so it feels bright. The lighting is also very, very good, and the colorful walls really brighten the mood. Interesting how space can affect people's work!
I’m looking for those bags Steven uses and Polly mailers. What is the best place to get them?
Bruce! These long shop tours are the best, I learned a lot
Awesome! That's why we're doing them. Glad you enjoyed it. More to come!
So awesome to see these pro shops. Would be nice to see some small productions too. For the small shops to relate. :)
We will definitely keep that in mind! We love the small shops too. There are some that would say Campus Ink is a small shop!
Monster Shop! Keep the hu$$le going!
Thanks Daniel! I'll pass that along to Steven!
