ABOUT PRINT PROXY
Hi, I’m Jon, the owner Print Proxy- an online retailer of awesome t shirts. We’re based in Columbus, Ohio which is great, because we work out of coffee shops, something Columbus has no shortage of. We began designing t-shirts in the middle of September, 2013 and I print them in my basement. Upon starting Print Proxy, I was asked by a friend why I wasn’t pursing something more creative than t-shirts. Reasonable question, I suppose! I answered him- “I think you’re talking about innovation. We like t-shirts. People like t shirts. So, t-shirts are our vehicle to be ‘more’ creative.” There’s a difference between creativity and innovation. I believe that managing creativity leads to innovation. So, hopefully one day, we can bring some really fresh ideas to the apparel decorating world, but for now we’ll just try to make you smile with awesome t shirts.
Our process begins with a cup of coffee and google.
-We pay attention to pop culture and what people are talking about. Get more coffee.
-Then, we apply our awesome design skills to make shirts people will love. Get more coffee.
-Then, we try to get shirts in front of the people we think will like them. Get more coffee.
-Then, I go into a dark basement, crank some music and print some shirts! Get more coffee.
-Then, we hope people enjoy our shirts and let us know how much they like them by commenting with emoticons on our storenvy. Celebrate with coffee.
We source all of our apparel from American Apparel because the shirts are super soft and they fit well. (Really important components of a new favorite t shirt) We use a process called direct to garment (dtg) printing because it allows use to make every t shirt to order.
We hope you enjoy browsing through our t shirts! Thanks for checking out our shop!!
