Dwarf Printing

after all my ancestors came from Germany, I demand respect for my culture too, start printing all DMV forms in German or I will sue.

Someone I know has begun a printing business from home. She has what looks like an excellent setup. I have seen some of her products (printed t-shirts, printed trinket boxes, stickers, cups, stuffed toys, anything really) and I like them and I like the fact that she can do short runs of just about anything that can be printed!

I had a brief chat with her about selling some products she makes. I have the option of working with her to get my own designs on my own chosen products, or on-selling her own stock.

What are my options regarding how to go about this? I want it to be a fair deal for both of us, with equally shared risk and reward.

She will be doing the majority of the production work - from most sourcing of wholesale items, to working up designs, to actually printing the products. I will be marketing the products and doing the frontline customer stuff.

Depending on whether I sell her designs or my own, will decide whose label is on the products.

My first thought is that I pay her production costs (minus labor) to get the stock and then share the profits of the stock with her as it sells.

That way she is not at risk of loosing money on the production of the goods, except her labor costs, if the goods dont sell.

Although I am at risk of loosing money on the initial purchase of the goods, I have the maximum room to move with price, to shift the goods if they are not popular.

I thought I would perhaps retain the first 20% of the profits (to cover marketing costs and my own risk) and then go 50/50 with her in the rest of the profits to pay both of us for our labor.

How does this sound, fair, unfair, stupid? Its just my initial thoughts but I would like to know what you think or if you have either a better suggestion or know how these dealings usually work.

See this video to see how full color printing is done on short run cds or dvds. The process used is a Dye Submilation process and the printing is very durable. Once the cds are printed then it will be loaded on the duplicator to start the duplication process. To place an order or to get a quote check us out at www.printpapa.com

I agreed to buy a car at a garage and part exchange my car but having thought about the situation I have now changed my mind. Trouble is I have paid £450 deposit which on reading the small print says is non refundable. I dont want to get stroppy with the garage and demand a refund and figure that to be really nice to them instead but to have a good excuse for not going ahead with the purchase would be more likely to get my cash back.

Many Thanks

I bought a new electric kettle from Big W using their new self service checkout system. The machine did not print out a receipt for it. The thing lasted less than a week before breaking down. I want to know weather I can legally demand a refund for it as it cost nearly 0, or if I’m up the creek without a paddle.

Does anyone know of a cheap print on demand publisher, under 0 setup fee? I used to use Booksurge but they have raised their fees, and I checked into Lulu, but their fees are now high as well.

Also read the book: “Stonehenge Astronomical Observatory”, available via Lulu print on demand: www.lulu.com It describes it in more detail, also describes how the stones may have been moved, the phases of construction, with new perspectives, and a theory for its destruction and final abandonment. This video describes how Stonehenge was designed for a functional purpose. Evidence is presented, which shows that it was an astronomical observatory. The massive sarsen stones of the circle and trilithons formed a precision scientific instrument. Further information www.brontovox.co.uk

Need an article from this week on one of these five principles of economics and explain why:

-trade can make everyone better off
-markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity
-governments can sometimes improve market outcomes
-a country’s standard of living depends on its ability to produce goods and services
-price rise when the government prints too much money
-society faces a short-run trade-off b/w inflation and unemployment
