Synergy Screen Printing has a background stretching back to 1975 when Rick Davis (the founder of Synergy) began screen printing T-shirts in a barn in Tipp City Ohio. Finding his interest peaked by the silence behind the process of textile screen printing he proceeded to follow the industry as a career opportunity.
After running a number of different facilities in Central Ohio, he was picked up by Flexible Products (AKA Wilflex Inks) in 1988 where he spent the next 5 years troubleshooting new textile screen printing products as well as process troubleshooting for corporate customers. It was here where he also began his writing and speaking career with numerous different international trade shows and magazines.
In 1993 Rick was picked up by Hanes Licensed Products where he monitored the printing quality and manufacturing process over a number of different contract printing facilities spread around the country. It was with also with Hanes where Rick first made the connection between plastisol inks and polyester dyes and thus published the first articles explaining the causes and variables behind dye migration and sublimation. More commonly known as bleeding.
Following the temporary fall of sports licensed products in the late 1980's Rick was hired by Levi Strauss & Co. as a quality control manager within their tops division dealing primarily with contract garment manufactures and printers. In 1998 Rick was inducted into the prestigious Academy of Screen Printing Technologies by his peers in the Specialty Graphics and Imaging Association. As the garment manufacturing industry slowly left the United States for foreign manufacturing facilities, Rick decided to start his own company to address the voids left from the larger companies that had left the United States for cheaper manufacturing cost and serve those voids left behind.
