Join us for a captivating journey through the decades of the decoration and printing industry as we welcome the legendary Scott Fresener to the 2 Regular Guys Podcast. Scott, an industry icon, takes us back to the era of his groundbreaking book, “How to Print T-Shirts for Fun and Profit,” and the revolutionary separation software, FastFilms. We’ll delve into the history of the US Screen Printing Institute’s influential screen printing classes and explore the invention of one of the industry’s first DTG printers, the T-Jet. Get ready to step into the past, embrace the present, and glimpse into the future with the one and only Scott Fresener. Aaron’s first employer in the industry was Scott Fresener back in 2000 and Terry joined the team a few years later. Get your junior yellow legal pads ready for some industry insights, memorable stories, and a celebration of an iconic career.

Dad Joke

Terry: It’s Thanksgiving month so let’s get those seasonal Dad Jokes going.

What’s the best song to play while cooking a turkey?

It’s all about that baste… ‘bout that baste…

Scott Fresener

Aaron: Welcome to the show Scott. Instead of a bio, we want to start with the time machine. Tell our listeners about the early days… making your own transfers… How to Print T-Shirts for Fun and Profit book… Tell us how it all began.

Terry: Let’s talk about your brainchild, FastFilms separation software. First, for our younger listeners, what is it? And second, how did that software come to be?

Aaron: By the time I got to US Screen your hands-on screen printing classes were well underway. Let’s talk about the evolution of that concept, and how you saw that need in the industry.

Terry: After the break let’s talk about the beginnings of DTG and white ink, and of course what you’re doing these days.

Aaron: You reinvented US Screen while Terry and I worked there. What made you believe Direct-to-Garment printing would be so revolutionary? Talk to us about the T-Jet.

Terry: White ink took DTG printing from a novelty on white shirts to a viable decorating option. Let’s talk about white ink for DTG.

Aaron: You’ve been responsible for some earth-shattering developments in our industry from separation software to DTG printing. Tell us your prediction for what’s next.

Terry: I’m pretty sure US Screen was one of the few businesses with a soundproof band room. Talk to us about what you’re doing in your spare time now.
