The professional home for screen printers, embroiderers, and decorated apparel operators who are building real businesses — not just running presses.
You're running color seps, dialing cure temps, tracking mesh counts, and delivering work that outlasts the garment. This trade deserves better infrastructure than a Facebook group.
Not another forum. Not a sales pitch wearing a community hat. A place where people who've burned screens and run payroll in the same week can swap notes.
Find decorators by method, region, and capability. Build referral relationships with shops that complement yours.
Questions answered. Wins shared. ICC profiles traded. Shop talk from operators who actually get it.
Post overflow work to verified shops. Find production partners and contract decorators you trust.
Your capabilities, your story. A profile built for the industry — not LinkedIn.
Quote engines, benchmarking data, certification roadmaps. Not PDFs you found in a forum. Systems that live in your workflow.
Try the Quote BuilderI've been printing for 12 years. This is the first association that looks like it was built by people who've actually touched a squeegee.
The pricing benchmark tool alone is worth the membership. I've been undercharging on 4-color jobs for two years.
Everything else in this industry is forums from 2011 or guys trying to sell you something. TDA feels different.
My shop does great work — the website never showed it. TDA's profile builder changed that.
Founding members set the standard. They define certification criteria, shape supplier relationships, and put their shops at the center of where this industry is headed.
