How Does Live Printing Work?

We ship a working print station to your Detroit venue, build it before doors, and make each guest's shirt, cap or tote while they watch. Each guest waits about two minutes for theirs.

The four steps of a Detroit job

  1. Room and window. You send the date, the venue and a headcount. We check floor space, power and load-in. At Huntington Place that means a dock time and a drayage slot; in a Corktown space it's usually a door and a lift.
  2. Art locks. Your design is final about a week out, so screens, transfers and patches are packed before the freight leaves Fullerton.
  3. Freight and crew. The gear trucks across the country from Fullerton and the crew flies in a day early. We build and test the station before doors.
  4. Print, then strike. Guests pick a design and a size and walk away wearing it. We tear down around your run-of-show.

It works in most Metro Detroit rooms: exhibit halls at Huntington Place, a concourse at Little Caesars Arena, a hotel ballroom in Troy, or a tent by the riverfront in summer. Date changes are easiest with two weeks' notice because of freight. Tell us about your event and we'll map the setup.
