supra_aero Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I have been toying with this idea for sometime. I wanted to do it for commercial profit but always wondered if there would be demand. Anyway cutting a long story short, I have a really really impressive A3 printer which does photo quality A3 prints. When I say prints I don't mean flimsy woolworths type paper prints. I mean proper A3 photo card like prints. The quality is perfect - like a photo - so long as the photo taken is high enough resolution. Would you guys be interested if I printed photos of your cars for near enough cost price? I am happy to do 1 photo max or so for each member at v. near cost price. Beyond that, and for other pritns it'd probably have to be more due to obvious time constraints and the like. Yes I know you could do this at your local prontoprint but the prices they charge would be astronimcal in comparison. Would anyone here be interested? I'd have to work out the cost per print but just rough estimates say it'll not be far off a £6 each. If it proves successful I might do it full scale but obviously give the owners club members a v.v.good discount. Your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 If it proves successful I might do it full scale but obviously give the owners club members a v.v.good discount. Your thoughts? I was told you have to become a trader or hobbyist mate, can't just make posts like these without going through the process. Which I moaned about but do agree with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 I am aiming to keep it well below £10. I just need to work out the ink costs as that's where the cost is. I hope it'll be around £6-7.50 mark. I can send some people samples so you can see the quality at Japfest maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
