Title: Closing your shop
Post by: Scobey Peterman on May 27, 2021, 08:57:58 AM

If you were to close your shop in the next year or so, what would you do with you inks??

I do not plan on selling my shop to another printer. But some one has asked me to sell my building to him.

Auto and big gas dryer I would try to sell to someone.

Just thinking out loud.

I'd either give them away or maybe find a waste management company that can dispose of them properly... or black contractor bags lol.

I've heard that cured plastisol can be trashed as solid waste. Why wouldn't you sell the shop to another printer, and let them worry about it?

Small town with no other printers.  And I DO NOT want to train anyone.

And the people interested in my building are not printers.

I was thinking the folks who would buy the press and dryer would also take the inks, you could throw them in as a "bonus", lol.

We had a bunch of old ink when we first opened, that we didn't know what additives or what it really was. We reorganized our entire ink room and had three full boxes of ink.
Placed a add "FREE INK" on craigs list and had 4 bites that day. I just said that everything had to go at once.
