0:13
learn more. Welcome to a bit of an unusual video for us. Um, I guess I'll
0:18
jump right into it. This box of stuff is from
0:22
printerstudio.ca. We do want to have a merchandise store for Linus TechTip
0:25
stuff at some point. Uh, cafe press doesn't look that feasible because it's
0:29
extremely expensive. Um, obviously stockpiling a whole bunch of shirts in
0:34
like, you know, a house doesn't make a whole lot of sense and we'd have to deal
0:38
with all the shipping and logistics. So, we were looking for someone that can do
0:41
highquality printing very quickly and is able to ship worldwide with reasonable
0:46
rates. And so, um, it turns out that printerstudio.ca is run by a relative of
0:51
an old coworker of mine. So, I got the hookup on a test order so that I could
0:56
have a look at some of the stuff. So, I actually let my wife do this, which is
1:00
why you're going to find uh playing cards with my son on them, as well as
1:05
playing cards with my cat on them and playing cards with uh she and I on them.
1:10
We also got some greeting cards. So, these are with the baby. I think the uh
1:15
thought in her mind was uh we'll use these to send to
1:19
people who want to see him and don't
1:22
have Facebook or something. I don't know. Whatever. She ordered whatever she
1:25
thought was she thought was right at the time. Uh overall, the printing on them
1:29
looks outstanding. It was reasonably quick. So, we are definitely considering
1:33
uh going with these guys in for like some kind of a merchandise store. See,
1:38
there's another uh another different card design on the back there. They also
1:41
include envelopes with the cards. I wanted to see what it looks like when
1:45
they print on things that are not uh not playing cards and not not cards, not
1:49
necessarily paper. Although this clock was uh was actually a paper design, it
1:53
turned out so it ended up being paper, but uh there's a bunch of different
1:57
pictures again of the baby because my wife did this. Um what we're probably
2:01
going to do now that this has gone well is we're going to do another test run of
2:05
maybe designing some Linus TechTips merchandise and doing a test order of
2:08
that. But there you have it, guys. Printerstudio.ca CA looks like they
2:12
might be a partner for us. Their configurator is reasonably easy to use.
2:16
So, there you go. There's a bunch of uh bunch of pictures of that on a little
2:19
clock. You throw a battery in there and it's good to go. Um I would recommend
2:23
checking it out if you do want to get anything done that's completely custom.
2:27
And I will also be giving away on the Linus Tech Tips forum. So, head over
2:31
there and stay tuned for this. It'll be shortly after the video goes up. So, I'm
2:35
going to have a couple of $50 gifts. And what I want to do is I want to have at
2:39
least a couple forum members order from them and then let us know how the
2:44
service you get is and uh and how the quality of the merchandise looks because
2:48
that's going to affect our decision to go with these guys in the longer term here. So here's a little diaper bag that
2:53
has again a picture of the baby on it. Looks outstanding actually. The uh the
2:57
printing looks really great. Very vibrant. The blacks are quite deep. You
3:00
can tell cuz you can compare it against an actual black material right here. And
3:05
uh yeah, actually looks quite good. And then I think the last thing here is a uh
3:09
an apron. Like I said, my wife ordered this
3:14
stuff. I didn't pick the stuff, but uh here's the apron. I think it's supposed
3:17
to be actually a a kids-sized apron, but
3:21
um actually, I don't know what it's supposed to be, but same thing. Printing
3:25
actually looks outstanding. So, I'm I look forward to hearing back from the
3:28
forum members who get us that feedback, and uh we may have a viable option here.
3:33
So, again, guys, that's printerstudio.ca. They do ship worldwide
3:37
and I'm happy to support sort of my friend's endeavor here. Don't forget to
