Hello. I’m Frank Lee. I am a fictitious character that deals in facts! Just like the old television series "Father Knows Best" – Frank Lee is your mentor that delivers to you the wisdom to succeed in the screen print business. My motto is "time is money, so don’t waste either".
There are reasons why folks have come back time and time again to Freehand Graphics – results and success are those reasons.
I am on your side and understand that we wish we could buy the best of the best for each process and that you will not always be able to do so but there are a few core items that are critical to the process of success so evaluate your machines and needs and put resources toward things that will increase your efficiency and lead to business success. We are all in the business of printing so have the right tools.
I have decades of printing and pre-press experience that I will share with you. Frankly spoken and very direct with a fatherly intent to improve your business and enjoyment of the industrial method of Screen Printing.
Some folks like the long technical explanations and others just want it boiled down to an advisory level. I will do just that and add a few thoughts of common sense and history. In the end, advice is great to have but results are what matters.
30 years ago, my screen-printing (we called it silk screening) beginnings involved hand "C" clamps on a work bench to hold the frames and an exposure unit made of portable fluorescent lights. Frames were held down by weights, a metal plate and foam. A big day was when we nailed a 2" x 4" piece of lumber to the table and upgraded to two color work. So I understand humble beginnings and low budgets. What I learned was that as I made money I invested properly into items that made me a professional printer and the proper use of those tools made me a success. In a short time the business grew into a multiple automatic business with three production locations producing many prints. This success can also be yours if you treat yourself and the business professionally. Not enough Screen Printers get proper guidance so I am here to share what I know. Take this information and apply it daily and you will have the success at any level you desire enjoying the industry as I do.
