The property above our shop just got recently rented out to some Korean gang that sells fake designer bags, shoes and so on. We even reported it to the police, well nothing happened though.

I have had 2 of those sports shops like you see at Malls approach me to print illegal Falcons and Bulldog stuff.  I always send them to the guy down the street, that's his gig!

dirk, is it the same guy we talked about doing super cheap contract work?  Seems crazy that you would be the only person that knows about it...aren't things like this better kept as secrets?

No that guy can actually print and does good work.  Just really cheap.

strange thing is he's been around for years, he's into so much other stuff that I think contract printing is something he doesn't care to make a ton on.

sounds like insanely steady work.  Lots of shops would kill to know their production 6 months from now.

yeah, he will give me a piece, but only the junk ones that no one wants, and you have to do it for almost free.  So I pass.
