  1. Funny you mention that. I have a new 4150 CDN and they definitely DO collect stuff on the rollers when printing labels and gloss paper.

    I spend far too long cleaning it for the ink savings.

    Mine just took a crap!!! THis is my 3rd brother only cause i hated to waste the ink. I just purchased $150 worth of ink this week, only to find out its broken and wasnt out of ink at all!! And it is 2 weeks out of warranty! :angry2:

  2. There are a thousand different parameters you have to guage against. Whether the store sells it or promotes it to them just forgetting you and moving on to another line to having the next best thing or the same thing everyone esle carries. We have customers ranging from $100/yr to tens of thousands/yr. It really depends, and is not something you can guage. There are a thousand candle companies out there wholesalinthat cant make it while the next one thrives. Its all about what you got and your price point.

  3. I went to mail a package the other day..PO closed at 430, I got there at 425, just in time, I thought. I took the package to the desk...she gave me a nasty look and said..we close in 5 minutes! Um yeah,...i just made it. She was rude to me the entire time. Im kind of glad most of them are losing their jobs, they did it to themselves. The nice employees will find other jobs :)

  4. We dont do consignment either..had a store owner ask me recently here in town...i just laughed..um no....maybe its becuase you steal everyones money and owe all your vendors $$$$$, including me!! She has been in business for over 15 years. Not sure how she stays in business (well i do know why..."snickers" ) But you need to really check refrences I think , talk to the other consigners they had and have now. Basically, do a reference check. You would be surprised how many scams and stealing is out there by business owners, its pathetic and sad. Crazzie, if you dont hear back, maybe make a call to the district attorney and have them make a courtesy call, it has worked for me in the past :)

  5. im from Pa also, so i can share some insight. The courthouse wont give or tell you anything. You will have to check with your local township/city on zoning for your business. You will have to file a PA 100 with the state. PA 100 questionare will help you with most of your licenses you will need. You will also need a fictious name license as well. ALso, you will need to check with your insurance company for liability. You are better off calling you local chamber of commerce or local economic develpment office to get some insight.
