About Matt Marcotte
I'm an operational strategist with 15+ years in the screen-printing and DTF industry — on the press, in the art room, and running operations. I've helped shops generating up to $30 million a year scale, leading teams of 100+ and building the SOPs and systems that keep them efficient and profitable.
I also build the software printers use: DTF.STREAM for transfers, ScreenPrintGPT for AI-powered shop help, and Free Gang Sheet Maker to cut wasted film. And I write about the craft (PrintHustlers, Printavo, and this blog), because the best shops share what works.
