Built by a Screen Printer Who Got Tired of Answering Quoting Emails All Day.

Pulling squeegees & documenting real shop life

Cam started like most apparel decorators: running a manual screen printing press in a small shop. To connect with other printers facing the same daily battles—emulsion pinholes, ink washouts, and setup bottlenecks—he started vlogging his everyday shop life on The Print Life YouTube channel, growing a community of over 100,000 decorators.

Trying Printavo, InkSoft & complex design labs

Drowning in customer quoting emails and phone calls, Cam tested every software platform on the market, starting with Printavo and moving to InkSoft. But none solved the real problem. InkSoft pushed complex online design labs that no real print shop customer ever used—everyday clients got confused, and buyers who wanted a browser canvas just went to Custom Ink. Real print shop clients already had their vector art and just needed a fast, accurate price.

Building the first version to save our own shop

Out of pure necessity, Cam built the first version of the software for himself: an intuitive, step-by-step customer-facing quote builder. He walked clients through it just once. From that day on, customers built their own accurate quotes and placed repeat orders on autopilot without needing to reach out or play email tag.

Focusing 100% on team & floor throughput

With the customer quoting bottleneck completely automated, Cam directed all his energy toward his team and production rhythm. In a small shop with just two manual presses, their team generated nearly $1,000,000 per year in revenue—proving you don't need a $200,000 automatic press to build a seven-figure shop.
