NO I don't mean the kind you use at home, I mean the people who are professionals and do it to make a living....
I have taken the last few commissions I have done to my local printers in St helens and found the help received with regard to the type of paper etc has been great..and the quality of finish far superior to that from my own machine...in the course of conversation I found that one of the partners was a cartoonist .....so naturally the conversation turned to cartoons,caricatures etc..
Where is this leading ,you may ask....well the printers have very kindly put up on the wall of there shop a caricature I have done of them ,together with a sign giving my details,,AND printed some cards for me ,AND have put some in a holder on the wall next to the drawing to hopefully get me some commissions.....and the charge......Nothing.....who said that there aren't any nice people about???
So a very big THANKYOU to Duncan (visit his blog at www.flippinkids.blogspot.com) Michelle and Paul at TRIPRINT ..16-20 Water St Helens...www.triprint.net..
So if you need anything printed you know who to contact....
