Yesterday, we kicked off a new collaboration with the team at Magnet: The Manufacturing Advocacy and Growth Network, an organization that helps businesses grow and compete across Northeast Ohio.
We’re teaming up with two of their talented Research Fellows, Michael Dennis and Gurleen Matharu, along with mentor Laura Larson, to explore how artificial intelligence can help us continue to innovate in the world of branded merchandise management.
The kickoff meeting brought our team members Matt Liszewski, Jason Chitwood, and Tiffani Hedler together with the MAGNET team to share an overview of our business, the Research Fellows program, and our vision for using AI in transformative ways. It was a great start to what we know will be a valuable partnership!
We’re excited to continue the conversation next week when we welcome the Fellows and mentors to our office. Stay tuned!

Imprint 101: Sublimation vs. Heat Transfer – Which One is Right for You? 🖨️👕
When it comes to custom apparel, two popular imprint methods often come up: sublimation and heat transfer. Both deliver great results, but they work in different ways! Here’s how they compare:
✅ Sublimation
• Uses heat to convert ink into gas, bonding it with polyester fabric
• Produces vibrant, full-color designs that won’t crack, peel, or fade
• Has a soft, seamless feel since the ink becomes part of the fabric
✅ Heat Transfer
• Applies a design onto fabric using heat and pressure
• Works on a wider variety of fabrics, including cotton and blends
• Ideal for small runs and one-off designs
🎨 Choosing the Right One: If you need long-lasting, high-definition prints, sublimation is the way to go. If you want versatility and affordability, heat transfer is a great option!
