I am 68 years old. I need an exit strategy and I have no want for a new printer at this point. I have over the last month or so come up with a plan to take the biz home. I have a pretty large space in the basement that I can set up a work room and take the printer home as well as my plotter and laminator. Use the garage for the panel saw and substrates..... Originally I thought I could sub out the printing to wholesalers but that would mean a lot of running around. My actual thoughts are to keep the company alive and basically do mostly decals and small signage and dump the vehicle graphics ( unless the customer has indoor heated facilities). I want to slow down, but I also want to keep some of the valuable write offs that business gets to help me afford retirement ( I think I am good anyways) and also keep myself a little busy, but not have the responsibility of renting a unit and having to be here 5 days a week. If I had no intentions on scaling back... 100% true would have bought a new printer by this point. Like I mentioned before, My screen printer has a jv 100 and it prints pretty much the same as mine and we also have the same software so a 2 minute drive and I can print what I need for now. I have done him so many favors helping him with the printer that I will basically pay for his ink and then throw him a lump sum when this is all over. We shall see what this week brings to the table.
