As the proprietor of an Asian Market, the lack of availability of Banana Ketchup has been very concerning. The FDA called out potassium iodate in Philippine brands leading to shortages in the US.
Here's hoping this American made brand can fill the void.

We did a lot of long run plastisol backed litho transfer jobs back in the day. The last remarkable one was 750,000pcs for a Disney club in-pack.
Somehow the only pictures I have were from rejected litho sheets - Purple Woodys were not acceptable.

A perk to running your own store is playing music you like when it isn't too busy.
So this Sunday I got in some Soul Donkey by The Sugarman 3

I've stacked a lot of paper over the years. This was a photogenic, yet unfortunately humid stack.
The old family business screen printed plastisol iron-on heat transfers for over 50 years.

The plastic "Thank you bag" tabs are speaking to me again.

Ne of our old 80's stock glitter litho transfers - applied just fine in 2024.
Different times indeed.

The old family business was screen printing iron-on heat transfers. For 50+ years we formulated and made our own plastisol ink, and back in the 80s made our own reflective sheets.
I still have some, ran it thru an htv cutter and it applies like gangbusters. Made this hat for my wife.

A timely message from the Artist Chuck Mills.
Trumpet playing smoker cat inspired my my father in his North Iowa Jazz Ensemble days. Pops loved Maynard Ferguson and Bill Chase.
