about us
Since its inception, First Edition earned a reputation as the nation's leader in screenprinting equipment technology and custom screenprinting. Equipped with an automatic ink removal system, April II (automatic seven color heat transfer printer) and other modern technical advances, we can print either short or long production runs with ease. Based on the engineering and marketing talent of the husband and wife team, Cliff and Judy Hix, the business has grown to a capacity of millions of prints and counting.
With 40 years experience, an incredible work ethic and a need for something to do, Cliff and Judy Hix developed a niche and started up "the best little custom screenprinting company in Kansas." However, this little company is no small business. Run like one of Cliff's well-built machines, First Edition understands its customers and its market.
Surrounding themselves with talented, top-notch personnel, they maintain an ultramodern facility and utilize the best screenprint equipment in the world. Hiring people who work like they do, the Hix's and their team take pride in doing whatever it takes to get the job done right. Customers love First Edition because they can count on them to always come through.
Its air conditioned manufacturing plant and unique processes made First Edition a "green" facility 40 years before anyone was thinking about environmental concerns.
