Heyla! I'm mold, back in the 90s. :) Got a question for y'all -- are you
looking for more publicity?
I'm friends with people playing in a steampunk LARP, and a few of the
characters would probably *love* to have actual letterpressed calling
cards. I'm planning on submitting an order soon, and I was thinking, gosh,
I could publicize this, if the printshop was looking for more activity.
I know in the past, there was a problem of "gosh, we'd love more printops,
but we don't have enough orders to get them qualified". But if times have
changed and nowadays it's more like NO AUGH STOP then I won't. :) Let me
know!
Actually, while I'm asking, I might as well include followup questions if
the answer is Yes More Publicity.
1, is there a useful size for orders? E.g., 100 cards is annoyingly small,
because of the setup-and-cleanup:total-time ratio. Is there a preferred
range?
2, what are current prices?
3, what are current expected turnaround times? (I know this can vary a
lot; that's fine.)
4, I vaguely recall there were some... dingbats? is that the term? of
random artwork. The most common was the APO crest, which was used for
business cards. Are there non-APO artwork that's available? Since this
would be used for steampunk calling cards, stuff like flowers, animals, or
scrollwork is what I'm thinking of.
yilfs,
dave
