I have set my set myself up as a sole trader but wanted to call my business Pritee Penee. I have purchased my ABN for three years. So, I am going to be around for three years at least.
Finally after researching and finding a supplier I have found the heidelberg machine that I wanted. It is coming all the way from New Zealand from a company called APM (New Zealand) Ltd. I am so excited because I was recently involved with another supplier of used printing machines who didn't have a heidelberg with the size of 15in x 18 in. The bottom line though was that he stopped emailing me or returning my phone calls. Bad business practice! I think people will stay with you if you are honest about what has happened. But I was determined to find a machine that could do what I wanted.
To be honest, I don't know how to use the machine, but I am eager to give it a go. I suppose it's like anything, jump in and learn from your mistakes. Many a time as a graphic designer I have wanted to achieve an effect or learn a new software program with no one to teach me. The internet is great as often someone has done it before. I am self taught on all my software programs. Enough said this is going to be trial and error. I have started designing wedding invitations and will post them up when I have produced a sample.
