Getting into prepress with binders and stuff

I don't know. We're going stronger than ever and my owners aren't rocket scientists.

I think the purge has passed so maybe that's why you're seeing an upswing. Also helps when you have salesmen and people interested in making the business grow.

I was going to say the same thing... but its a very different type of owner/business going forward from here, concentrating on the quick turnaround, shortish run stuff with a good digital printer and a couple of smaller a3 offset presses... and a good mix of lots of clients, so yes sales is actually important!
Having a natural disaster 5 years ago (actually its closer to 6 years now and was ongoing for at least 2 years... fkn earthquakes) also threw every business of every type here out of wack, the ones that have survived were the ones able to react and rebuild and get running again the quickest.
So many of the larger print companies here have merged with others, some successful but a few not.

I know the work is out there. One place that helped us when our platesetter was down just bought a brand new Heidelberg. There are shops around here that are working 7 days. Sadly, the boss has other interests here and instead of fixing them, he chooses to ignore them and take it out on his workers.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.

Ive been saying that shit for years. And if you heard it, that meant your ass.

Normally, both your asses would be dead as fried fuckin' chicken, but I'm going through a transitional period...
