1.04L of ink

[tugrik]

Convention printing season is going in full swing. Mr. FedEx Man delivers the precious juice, fresh from Amazon. I buy them in double-packs like this, re-ordering when I use up the last one. The scary part is that this is just a partial order. The printer uses 12 inks (R,Gr,B,C,M,Lm,Y,G,Lg,Mk,Pk,E), meaning I usually have 24 carts in stock; this order was only for four of them (R,G,Lg,E). But each cart lasts and lasts.

The nice part: the average consumer printer has ink costs of around $1.90+/mL. It also uses less ink per square inch of paper. Mine's right about $0.38/mL. The bigger the printer, the cheaper it is to run. :)

If you need matte, gloss, canvas, banner-scrim, or sticker prints for the upcoming conventions there's still time to get your order in. Just drop me a line at tugrik@gmail.com. All work is run through a fully-calibrated color system and I guarantee my results!

Man, this would'a been useful to know ...

... at my last convention! Jeepers!

I haven't any need for prints right now, but, could you -- for future reference -- list approximate prices for certain items? How many we need to purchase, with (again approximate) shipping costs?

I know these things shift with time, but I'd just like to keep this on file.

Id actually like to talk to you sometime, I work in a quick print shop in the east bay and we're always looking for someone to do large format stuff.

Hm. "Memetic hazard" stickers and vinyl placards with warnings about Fox News would be fun. I could hand 'em from the TVs at work while the channel is playing.

"Warning: Fox News commentators are paid to make you angry and afraid. Do not mistake passion for truth."

The first nine I think I can decipher, but what are Mk, Pk and E? o.O *googles* Oh, OK. :)
