Two Ways to Level Up Your Shop This Fall from MADE

MADE Lab Hosts the Water-Based Printing Camp in Orlando & Print Hustlers Conference in Chicago 

If you want to improve your water-based printing technique and get the best in industry networking and insights, two back-to-back chances are coming soon! 

MADE Laboratory’s upcoming events are built to help you grow, profit, and scale up with expert advice and hands-on training. 

WB/CAMP: Water-Based Mastery
Orlando, Oct 25th–26th

This class follows PRINTING United Orlando and is held at the ROQ Tech Center, where Real Thread provides training. With hands-on instruction from industry pros, you’ll learn advanced water-based, HSA, and discharge printing techniques.

You’ll also explore ink systems, setup optimization, and production workflows that deliver premium, retail-quality results your customers will notice.

Why you should go: Water-based and discharge printing command higher margins and stand out with cleaner, softer prints; they’re perfect for fashion, performance, and oversized streetwear, which means you can use them as either upsells or an opportunity to print for a whole new category of customers.

Print Hustlers Conference
Chicago, Nov 1st–3rd 

The Print Hustlers Conference is the industry’s most focused event on leadership, operations, and business growth. This year’s conference is hosted in Chicago’s iconic Second City. Rather than several concurrent presentations, it’s a single-track experience so you won’t miss any section, connection, or a true “a-ha” moment.
