It is a time of freedom and fear, of Gaia and of borders, of many paths and the widening of
a universal toll road, emptying country and swelling cities, of the public bought into
privacy and the privacy of the public sold into invisible data banks and knowing
algorithms. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the
planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.
These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times. I need your help. Currently, we offer more than 1,400 progressive bumper stickers on the elections, religious freedom, peace, environmentalism and liberty. The folks at CafePress print and ship single stickers for us as people request them, which means that neither they nor we have to keep a big ol' stock of more than 1,400 kinds of stickers at the ready. But printing on demand and using a middleman raises the price of the stickers quite a bit. I'd like to lower the prices, but how? One solution to that problem is to print large amounts of our most popular stickers using another service. We've done that for our five most popular stickers, and are happy to offer them at deep discounts from the CafePress price if people want to buy them in significant quantities. Another solution is to continue printing on demand, but to get rid of the middleman and do it ourselves. To do this, we'd need to get a ourselves a contraption that prints professional-quality bumper stickers. The result has to be high-resolution, smudgeless, waterproof and UV-resistant. Screen printing won't do because you have to print large bunches. Can you name a printer that will do? ![]() ![]() ![]() |
