High Voltage Prints State of the Art Equipment and Talented Employees Bring Ideas to Life

A High Voltage Prints' staff member cleans off a screen-print that is ready to be made into a t-shirt design.

One of High Voltage Prints' graphic designers creates a t-shirt design.

Jason Lansdell, Owner of High Voltage Prints, stands in the storefront of High Voltage Prints shop.

High Voltage Prints is located off of 5th Avenue, now known as the Arts and Entertainment District. There is a full scale printing service situated right beside the river. Jason Lansdell and Robyn Tillery, Owners of High Voltage Prints, stay busy with their production schedule at High Voltage Prints. The screen-printing and embroidery business stays busy with orders from all around the country. While Mr. Lansdell focuses largely on the community he’s grown up in, High Voltage Prints reaches a much broader customer base across the United States. The official opening year for High Voltage Prints was in 2011, but Mr. Lansdell was working toward opening a fully operating shop 14 years earlier. Since 2011, High Voltage Prints has continued to grow and add technology and innovation to their business. Jason Lansdell knows how important it is to help his community and he makes sure to give everything he can back to the community that made him who he is today. “I was born just down the street at Floyd Medical Center,” said Mr. Lansdell. “I am completely tied into this community and I want to do whatever I can to help my home.” High Voltage Prints is a large believer in supporting local businesses and Mr. Lansdell and his team do everything they can to buy their supplies and services in Rome and Floyd County. “I want

to do what’s best for my community, and that starts with shopping locally,” said Mr. Lansdell. “Romans serving Romans is what is important and along the way we have been successful.” While the company has been nationally recognized by industry magazines and trade shows around the globe, shirts created at High Voltage Prints have been featured on television personalities, musicians, Major League Baseball, National Football League and Major League Soccer players. Mr. Lansdell makes sure all of his employees support the community and provide them with the best service possible. High Voltage Prints can provide businesses, organizations, and individuals with all of their screen printing and embroidery needs. The company has its own design team equipped to handle any design project and a unique machine, The 14 Color Challenger 3D. High Voltage has been chosen for a beta test using this equipment, and is one of few companies in the world to have this world record setting machine. High Voltage is equipped to handle small orders up to orders in the thousands, and ready to serve Rome and Floyd County.

ROME AND FLOYD COUNTY, GEORGIA

Along the blueways and greenways, a metro city emerges. On any given day there is an abundance of hustle, muscle and banter going on in Rome and Floyd County. Students are hustling to the classroom both private and public, whether it is at a Rome City School, Floyd County School, Darlington School, Unity Christian School or maybe it’s at one of the five college campuses of Berry College, Georgia Highlands College, Georgia Northwestern Technical College, Shorter University or Augusta University’s Rome Campus. There are people flexing their muscle, using their brain power with state of the art techniques at one of our world-class medical facilities or at one of our manufacturing plants where they are on the cutting edge of technology and innovation. Vehicles, automotive parts and household products are developed and manufactured at Pirelli Tire North America, OTR Wheel Engineering, Southeastern Mills, International Paper and more. Because of our highly acclaimed infrastructure, start-ups are happening and entrepreneurs have an added spirit in their step. Romans of all ages are jumping on their bicycles, grabbing their tennis rackets, heading for the trails to a Rome Braves baseball game or to the vibrant downtown. Banter happens here, an exchange of ideas and thoughts in local restaurants, listening to The Rome Symphony Orchestra, attending River Jam or taking in the Shakespeare Festival. One can see smiles, hear laughter and feel totally comfortable debating ideas that spark forward thinking as future plans are made. What is it about Rome and Floyd County that makes it so special? It is the hustle, muscle and banter. A community of hard workers, who are not afraid to roll-up their sleeves, get to know their neighbor and engage in conversation.
