Haven't been on for a while, thought I would catch up and study. We are in central NC. Moved my business home for a couple years while the economy tanked. My rent got doubled at the same time so we lowered overhead for a while and survived by keeping up some wholesale accounts. Just rented a better location and moved in. Woohoo got my basement back and stopped using my pool table for a work bench. My dad is a commercial sandblaster so I may be able to help on sandblasting questions. We have roland vp540 printer, graphtec plotter and royal sovereign laminator. My wife pretty much runs the business and I have a daughter in school for graphic design. Just wanted to thank everyone for the info I have read for quite a while.
