The boys have a bit of banter about running Screen Printing businesses. Topics covered include year end accounts, bookkeepers, outsourcing artwork proofing, bonusing staff, new washout chemicals ,laser engraving and promo products, standard operating procedures, Anatol presses, and more.

Chantal (aka Chook) learned the trade back in the 1990's by serving her apprenticeship and after a motherhood hiatus returned with a new screen printing enterprise called 'Inked by Chook'. A class act with a rubi-film background using waterbased at the coast at Yamba. She's passionate about the trade with and has an extensive experience in having the intel and starting from the ground up in her garage - we love garage screen printers. Inked by Chook is a great fun brand, full of vibrant colours and character which revolves (terrible pun) around a great entrepreneur equally vibrant and fun.
