730 Printing Tour Kicks Off: Automated Screen Printing Descending on 9 US Cities
730 Printing, in partnership with ROQ.US and MADE Lab, announces the 730 Printing Tour. This summer, the tour will travel to nine major U.S. cities, showcasing the designs of 730 Printing, artist and influencer Austin Babbitt, and the ROQ YOU automatic screen-printing press through live demonstrations, workshops, and discussions with hundreds of attendees.
730 Printing wants to cultivate and preserve a culture they are passionate about. “We want to create clothes that don’t get thrown away or donated, we want to make things that people cherish,” says 730’s James Margonie.
Starting from Chicago on June 14th, the tour will feature stops in cities such as New York City, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Attendees will have the opportunity to witness the ROQ YOU Press on the road — a first for ROQ. The tour aims to educate and inspire the brand and print communities, offering fresh hands-on experiences and expert insights, according to a press release. Attendees will even have the opportunity to print on their own apparel brought from home on the ROQ YOU auto press.
Hosting the tour is Babbitt, known by his moniker “Asspizza,” a visionary artist and clothing designer from Queens, New York. Babbitt, known for his originality and edge, co-founded 730 Printing to push the boundaries of screen printing. His journey from hand-printing clothes to leading a company embodies the spirit of innovation and quality.
Closing down the streets of Manhattan with kids storming the block for free clothes, his “Artist of the World” art show on 6th Street, and most recently doing The 50 States Tour, where he did a pop-up installation in every U.S. state, met every fan and cultivated his community that is passionate and excited about clothes, culture, and art. The natural progression of this was the 730 Printing Tour.
“This tour is to push the boundaries of screen printing,” says Babbitt. “We were constantly told this tour would be impossible but now we’re doing it. We’re excited to share 730’s passion and expertise with the community.”
Joining the tour, Colton Moreno from the ROQ.US Solutions Team will be on hand to guide attendees through the capabilities of the ROQ. Cory Hanes of the ROQ.US Tech Team will demonstrate the transformative power of ROQ’s solutions. Miguel Veliz from MADE Lab, a print engineer and expert in SEPS and artistry, will also join the tour.
The tour will feature live printing demonstrations, engaging workshops, and insightful discussions to enhance participants’ understanding of print production.
