About Us

Printer Growth provides artwork solutions for print shops and people looking to order custom apparel. As the Direct-to-Film industry continues to grow and AI-generated artwork becomes more common, we saw a need for reliable, production-ready files that can actually be used in real print environments.

That’s why we built and trained a team of artists focused on creating clean, print-ready artwork primarily for DTF, as well as other print applications. Along with our artwork services, we also develop AI tools, software, and products designed to help print shops prepepare artwork.

Our goal is simple: help print shops save time, improve quality, and scale with confidence.

Jacob Sobie

Owner

I'm Jacob, I began my screen printing journey at the age of 18 and have amassed over a decade of experience in the printing industry. From running my own successful screen printing business to selling screen printing and direct-to-film supplies and equipment, I’ve developed an in-depth understanding of what it takes to thrive in this field. Today, I leverage that expertise through my Printer Growth, dedicated to helping mainly DTF print shops.
