The garment screen-printing industry enjoys very few constants. Somehow, jobs don't seem to print the same way today as they did yesterday. Employees come and go.
Profits rise and fall.
But one thing you can always count on is that your press loaders will reach their lowest body-fat levels when summertime rolls around. The effort that printing facilities put into creating a comfortable workplace environment for employees varies greatly, from installing simple box fans to providing fully air-conditioned production departments. The latter is not the norm, however, and most screen-printing shops are pretty uncomfortable places on hot, muggy summer afternoons. To make the workplace bearable, either the company or the employees themselves have to do something. Under these conditions, even breathing can be a challenge.
