ABOUT D.I.M. GRAPHICS
My name is Kyle Worsfold. I have been screenprinting for almost 10 years. After working as on offset (newspaper) printer for 6 years, and a one-year stint at another screenprinter within that time, I decided it was time to open my own business. I started D.I.M. Graphics late in 2006.
D.I.M. stands for Did it Myself. Although not entirely true, I have had a good bit of help from friends and family. I never took out a loan to start my business. I saved every penny and bought or built all my equipment, and taught myself how to print over those ten years. I occasionally employ a few helpers when things are busy, and sometimes use an outside artist for complicated designs, but for the most part it's mainly just me, for now.
Where are you located?
Near Melbourne, Iowa. I work from my home, and have a shop here. I almost had a shop on Main Street in Marshalltown, but the deal fell through. It was a blessing in disguise, however. Having a storefront would've meant two electric bills, two phone bills, two rents, etc. All costs which would have been passed on to customers. If you want to discuss my services or products, I'll come to YOU. I carry the most popular styles, colors and sizes with me, along with sample designs. Just give me a call.
What is the minimum order?
There is none. However, a set-up fee of $10 for the first screen, and $5 per additional screens applies to orders under 2 dozen.
How long will my order take?
About a week and a half once you've approved the artwork. 3-day rush is available for an additional 25% of the order total. 1-day is 50%, if available.
What can be printed?
T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, golf shirts, hats, bags, windbreakers, jeans-just about anything but leather. (I probably could print leather, but you'd be better off getting it airbrushed.)
Do you offer embroidery?
Sorry, not yet.
Can I get garments that are made in America?
Yes. They cost more because the people who make them are paid a decent wage.
WHY CHOOSE D.I.M. GRAPHICS?
Besides fast turn-around and low prices, I strive for unique and custom artwork. No templates or clip-art catalogs to look through. I want your garment to stand out, so your idea or logo gets your message across.
No vinyl iron-on numbers on team uniforms. My names and numbers are screenprinted so they don't fall off, stick to themselves in the dryer, or create a "sweat patch" on your back that doesn't allow the fabric the breathe.
Along those same lines, I try to make the prints comfortable. They may not be quite as bright, but you have probably seen, or may even own a garment with a "bulletproof" print with cracked ink that feels like someone slapped a giant sticker on your chest. No one will wear your walking billboard if it's uncomfortable.
Don't forget about service. I can come to your home or office to discuss your order if you prefer, and deliver your order locally.
