Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
And I thought Colin was done working at QCM?
QCM!Check with Colin and get setup as a QCM dealer. Our dealer here in North Alabama is going out of business and I want someone who stocks things. Infact they have a slew of stuff they are wanting to liquidate. I just couldn't justify buying all that ink right now. If you get setup with QCM I will be your first customer!Bill
...second vote on the QCM, especailly if you guys are still plannin to visit us in town periodically!
I see.. . that's why you are the supplier and I am the printer haha. . .I often wonder, with all these whites available- if the chemists at the manufacturers ever walk over to the window and yell " WHAT THE FK DO YOU PRINTERS WANT?". . .i mean, there are SOOO many whites on the market. . .and they are all some what comparable, but everyone has their likes and dislikes.
I have found from my own experiences, that it's not so much the ink itself, but the company I buy it from that has a lot to do with my opinion of it. but again, that's just me.
Pwalsh -you reading this buddy? Colin is looking for a job. . nudge nudge. . I'm sure you have a spot somewhere for his expertise?he will even relocate, work long thankless hours, listen to customers complain about nonsense, wait 30 days to get paid and get orders out the door at the last minute. . .
brandon, your region is the southeast. are you going to ship inks across the country? doubtful that you would be competitive. you need to call on printers in nc,sc,ga,tenn and find out what they are running also because thats who you will be selling to most likley.
It is kind of unlikly you will convert a 5 year rutland or union guy over to another system, especially if he has a good relationship with his current supplier. I would find out what YOUR COMPETITION is selling, get their pricing then evaluate your business plan befor moving forward.. just my.02
Service is a HUGE one for me. I am not a great planner...I am getting better though. It's nice to have a wilflex distributor right next door.I have to say though Brannon, that the house brand of inks you used to sell from the company that will remain nameless weren't that good. The price was, but Wilflex most certainly prints better.
I would rather spend an extra $20 a gallon for ink if it doesn't build up and has better all around printing properties. Price isn't as big of an issue as performance for me. I like to make it as easy as possible on me and my folks.Although it is an added bonus when something is cheaper and works as good or better.
