    Hi

    I am a landscape photographer, and am looking at adding some sublimated products to the mounted and framed prints I currently sell.

    I have spent some time looking around the various posts, and am beginning to realise how much I will have to learn to do this successfully.

    I am planning to visit the Printwear and Promotion exhibition before taking the plunge and ordering equipment and items to print.

    I already appreciate the amount of information in the various forum posts, and hope to learn much more as I go along.

    I would weigh up the costs of doing printing in house against subcontracting out. Aside from costs then you are looking at learning curve as well. We have a lot of photographer clients who prefer to stay the artist and don't fancy pulling their hair out learning another skill set.

    I will come along and say hello Justin.

    I had considered using a third part printer. However, I think I will have a quite large range of designs, and will not initially know which ones will sell. I plan to produce (for website sales) and replenish (for show sales) as orders are received to minimise my finished product stock holding. I suspect that frequent small orders with the associated carriage costs would severely reduce the overall profit margins on the products if I was buying in from outside.

    One factor I haven't been able to really estimate at this stage is a likely scrap rate after the initial learning curve. I guess this will vary depending on the product (mugs v flat products), and how I assess saleable quality compared to others. However, any indications would help my thinking.
