A little story can lead me to the final question. I sub out all printed signage to a guy about 20 miles down the mountain. He does great work and does have flat beds. His prices are very good! However, I can never get him on the phone. I now have a job out to him that I set up last Friday. I've left 5 messages and have not heard back. Noone ever answers at his shop, nor will anybody there call you back. It is like this every time that I work with him. There is one other guy down the mountain who prints also, but I've had trouble getting him on the phone as well. I really need someone that I can depend on. Even if it means raising my prices. Right now my customer is probably wondering why this is taking so long? Not only that, but I don't know when to tell him that it will be ready. A friggin banner! Any advice? Does anyone out there do wholesale printing or know where to send me? Thanks much for listening. Sincerely, Sarah Evans

We do some wholesale printing.. altho we are not the cheapest around, our customer service rocks, and have been told our color matching is the best around. lol.. We have a versacamm 540. if its sumthing that can be done on that and you are in a pinch and dont mind it having to be mailed from calif.. give us a hollar.

Hey Sarah, Sue's a nice friendly gal too, ran into her just a couple weeks ago while she was in town visiting. While I haven't done any business with her yet, I'll still recommend her for the good vibes while I talked to her face to face.
I also recommend Janette Balogh and Jerry Van Horn, both are also members here and based on phone conversations and the projects they helped me with, you can't go wrong.

Hey Sarah, Sorry i can't help you but as a side my brother lives in Boone (actually Foscoe - Old Keller farm, right off Rte. 105 - but his mailing address is Boone).
We're heading down there around June after his grandson is born so maybe i could stop in and see your shop?
