As most know, I have a letter press, book press, and Intaglio. Tomorrow I need to look for letters. They are hard to find. None of this will make me wealthy (I suppose) but yes, this stuff does count. Oh and there is serigraph and shirt printing. Many make a great living on that!
Might want to look on that soon!

Once upon a time I signed up for a free business seminar offered by my county economic development office and presented by a small business expert from the Great State of New York.
As the presenter rolled out the finer details of the program often referring to and using the term "small business" it got harder and harder to relate to the information she was presenting. None of the facts , rules and specifics offered seemed to fit the expectations and reality that were elements in my world.
I was not alone in this confusion and when one of the many of us that were caught in the glare of the presenter's headlights asked "what does New York consider to be a small business the answer was staggering.
It seems that in The Great State of New York the threshold that forms the foundation of the "small business" definition starts at 10 million dollars.
Given that definition and the reality that I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not a small business I am not the least amount surprised as a screen printer I, we, no longer create an identity or show up on a tracking radar.

Yeah despite my sign saying "custom screen printing and embroidery" we are all really just a sub category of Apparel Decorators, I wonder if that is tracked by the labor department? It's never going to stop evolving. DTG might as well be old at this point, what's coming next?!

Printing workers are squeezed by falling demand - Americans don't mail as many cards or hand out as many brochures as they once did.
Based on how much junk mail we get I find this hard to believe. Also reminds me I have to order more business cards today.
