Title: Printing business update
Post by: rickh on February 09, 2011, 12:40:55 AM
As most of you know, I have a custom printing busines.... well, I am expanding it now to include vinyl printing, ie truck signs, bumper stickers, or whatever we may need to make.

Special prices for those of you that may need something, and I am not above repro stuff that is hard to find.... did I say that out loud?

Rick

Brian.... in time. Currently we are doing custom cups, mouse pads, can covers, etc..... this expansion will put us into another custom market, plus I get the customer base for the current owner of the plotter/cutter.

What are the current size limitations? I've dealt with a few places that could only do up to 24" wide.

I will know more later, but this equipment we are getting is 30" I think.... currently we are not printing vinyl anything, just ceramic and flat FRP products.

Great to know, and thanks for the discount offer, Rick.  I'll keep you in mind for the future if I may need any products.  Good luck with your expansion!

Rick I used to live in Chandler in 1990 and my landlord worked for Subia Graphics in Phoenix, wondered if they are still in business?
