How Does Live Printing Work?

A complete print station travels to your Minneapolis venue, goes up before the doors open, and turns out each guest's shirt, cap or tote in front of them. Each guest waits roughly two minutes.

A Minneapolis booking, start to finish

  1. We learn the building. Share the day, the venue and an expected crowd. We look at floor, outlets and access. For the Minneapolis Convention Center that means booking a dock time and a drayage slot. For a North Loop loft it usually comes down to the width of a door and whether a lift exists.
  2. Your artwork freezes. About seven days ahead the design stops changing, which lets us burn screens, print transfers and pack patches in Fullerton.
  3. Truck first, people second. Our cases ride a freight truck from Fullerton. The printers fly up the day before, meet the shipment, assemble the station and run test prints.
  4. Doors open, printing starts. Each guest chooses a design and a size, waits a couple of minutes, and walks off in it. We pack out on your timeline.

This works in almost any Twin Cities space: an exhibit hall downtown, a Target Center concourse, a hotel ballroom reached by skyway in January, or a tent near the lakes in July. If the date might move, tell us at least two weeks ahead since the truck is scheduled. Describe your event and we'll sketch the setup.
