Hey all,
I been reading some old threads for about the last 4 hours... Shew.. Some of you seem to really have been through the ringer from losing half your business to dealing with vistaprint, and neighboring shops spying on you, and customers coming in to see what you use to print their stuff so they can do it themselves.
I just want to say I now understand why some of you seem so jaded, and reluctant to provide information, tips, and the like. I've been through this same stuff the last few years with my father, and his business although stuff seems better now, but of course not as good as before.
I'm actually reluctant to wanting to buy one of those wide-format printers now.. I'd rather sub everything out, or at the most buying a old old one so I don't lose my butt if something happens. I'm actually more reluctant to even waning to do stickers/decals(smile
). I'm Really thinking I would rather just do dimensional signs, vinyl cutting work, and plotter/painting work, or heck finding someone awesome to work for.
Anyway, just want to say thanks for the info you all have provided, and I hope as I stay here longer you guys won't think of me so much as a threat, and more as part of the sisn101 family.(some of you have been on here forever...)
