Welcome to Solutions Journal, an online publication offering insight, advice and lessons learned. Our purpose is to encourage and promote open communication among people.

Hard Hitting Articles

Each month we bring you a minimum of 5 articles, one in each area of Business, Sales and Marketing, Graphic Design, Screenmaking and Production. You will not find self-serving articles written by manufacturers in a sly attempt to sell you on buying a particular product. The articles on Solutions Journal are written by screenprinters with decades of practical hands-on screenprinting knowledge.

Community Forum

We offer a forum that is quite different in that we don’t waste your time with uneducated guesses by individuals that hide behind a fake screen name. We believe that everyone should be responsible for their contributions to society and moderate all posts in the forums for accuracy. You will get honest answers to your most pressing problems.

Free Screenprint Directory

We offer a directory where anyone in the industry can list their business, product or service free of charge – Manufacturers, Suppliers, Distributors, Artists, Printers, and more. Screenprint Directory began in 1983 as a service to the industry. We have gone through many transformations as the Internet has exploded with websites offering screenprinting equipment, materials and supplies. When we first posted our information to the Internet, we had 12 listings and worked hard to come up that many. Today, the number of manufacturers, distributors, printers and others has grown into a vast array. We are happy to continue to bring you this service.

We offer Free Listings to anyone in the screenprinting industry. We also have inexpensive directory packages for those who want to add to their listings with more features. Please click on the Submit button at the top of the page for more information on our services.

Sharing the Knowledge

And just as our thoughts have been shaped by those whom we have met along the way, we are asking that the readers of this journal share their own advice, assistance, and criticism to promote this work.
