2 Regular Guys Talking Decoration and Personalization

The 2 Regular Guys podcast has evolved from Aaron Montgomery and Terry Combs hanging out in hotel bars and restaurants after trade shows, eating chicken wings, disagreeing over ranch or bleu cheese as the true and proper dipping sauce, and talking the garment decorating and personalization industry. A long list of industry friends joined into those conversations over the years, in cities across America and the world. These same friends plus new friends we meet along the way now come back to join us as guests to the program. The trade shows continue, the industry grows and matures, and the 2 Regular Guys continue those conversations, talking garment and product decorating (and on occasion beer and chicken wings) weekly. Welcome to our 8th Year. Come along for the ride!

The Hybrid Era: Evolving for a More Versatile Future

This week on the 2 Regular Guys Podcast, we’re diving into the evolution of sublimation with industry educator and Sawgrass Brand Ambassador Laurie Donovan. The rise of hybrid decoration, combining traditional sublimation with new materials and techniques, is opening the door to products and partnerships that were previously off-limits. Whether you’re a veteran decorator or just exploring your options, this episode will break down how hybrid sublimation works, where it fits into a broader production strategy, and how decorators can leverage it. From cotton to wood to uncoated ceramics, we’ll explore what’s possible and what’s practical as sublimation technology enters a new era.

Hybrid Solutions

Terry: Hi Laurie. Share with our listeners a little bit about your journey in this industry.

Terry: Let’s define “hybrid decoration.” What exactly are we talking about?

Aaron: Why is now the moment for hybrid to become part of the mainstream conversation?

Terry: What substrates are we talking about here?

Aaron: This option is more expensive than other Sawgrass systems. What is the justification for the higher price?

Terry: Give us an example of how you’ve used this system for an actual customer. How did you solve a problem for them?

Aaron: How do you think this changes the conversation around "sublimation is dead"?

Terry: If you already have a Sawgrass printer, can you convert it to Versiflex inks?
