Field notes
Anaheim live printing blog
Planning notes from the crew that runs the presses.
These posts cover what planners ask us about most in Anaheim: which rooms at the Convention Center and around the Platinum Triangle suit a press, what drives a quote, how far ahead to book, and how to choose between DTF, hat bars, embroidery, promo goods and screen printing. Each one is written for events at Orange County venues, with the Fullerton shop as the starting point.
