I help print shops
I'm Matt Marcotte — an operations strategist and builder in the screen-printing & DTF industry. I've scaled shops into efficient, profitable businesses, and I build the software, data, and AI tools they run on.
Two ways I help print shops
Whether you need to tighten how the shop runs or get your data working for you, the goal is the same: a shop that runs leaner and grows on purpose.
Operations & scaling
SOPs and systems, software integration, and the operational structure that lets owners scale sustainably — from six figures to $30M a year. Built from 15+ years on the press and running shops.

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.
