“You have to continue inventing and iterating, and you have to get as close to your customers as possible and bring them into the conversation. Because if not, someone else will.” - Campus Ink Ceo Steven Farag

Thanks to Adrienne Palmer and GRAPHICS PRO Magazine for their piece on our efforts to take DTF printing on the road. This spring, we loaded up our NIL Store Live trailer with a Roland DGA printer and traveled to the campuses of UConn and Purdue, live designing and printing for two of college basketball's biggest fan bases.

By the time we'd made it to the Big Ten Tournament in Chicago, we partnered with Rally House to serve as an on site wholesale print shop outside the United Center, with products built based on tournament results and moments.

Finding power, trying to control temperature and running out of ink were among the challenges we worked through. In the end, the experiment worked as a way to directly connect with our customers and tell stories through apparel in a way sports fans have never seen before.

A big thanks to Roland DGA Corporation for their guidance and support + standout products!
