Hello everyone, this is Tinker Chris here to talk a bit about printing and manufacturing. There is no action needed in this update.

I've been busy getting everything finalized for handoff to the manufacturer, and if there is one thing that I've taken away from this process in the past it's that physically proofing art before sending it to manufacturing is WAY faster than making any potential changes during the manufacturing process. A couple of days on our end can save us weeks on the other end.

To ensure quality and create a quicker turnaround we’ve built in a local print proof process. This gives us the chance to look at our layout in printed form to make sure things are aligning correctly that we may not have caught on screen. While we don't get an accurate idea of the final colors—as every printer will be slightly different due to a variety of environmental factors, and these are digital prints—we were quite impressed with what we were seeing. We were also very excited by seeing the sheer breadth of items in this stack of prints. Take a look at some of the photos I took of this:

We hope that you are excited by this first look as we are!!
