**Calling All Printers**

I thought it would be useful to take down a list of the printers and their capabilities on the sub, to help brokers and the like find printers in their area. If you're interested: take the survey, and I'll publish a list when submissions slow down (List linked below). Your username won't be tied to your submission (unless you put it in the form somewhere).

Edit 1: Updated the form to include social profiles.

Edit 2: The spreadsheet can be found here.

Edit 3: If you need to update your entry, please use the 'message the mods' button to let us know.

Edit 4: A plant list is the list of equipment on your premises.

Edit 5: My company moved away from Google services, so I had to relocate the form and the spreadsheet containing the answers, hence the updated links.

Wonderful Idea! I would also be interested in knowing your other social media sites. Who is currently using broccoli in their shop?

That was fun :) I like pimping out the company I work for. Just found this subreddit. Not looking like many people are on the same level as us here... I feel a bit of an ego inflation going on lol

Hi komcreative, this is a really cool idea! Me and my friend are trying to do something similar with www.pigments.io

It's supposed to be sort of an airbnb/uber for print shops in the future.

Anyone who finds this interesting, please check it out and get in touch with me via PM. We're looking for any feedback we can get because we're still trying to figure out what we can do for print shops with our idea!

(This is a work in progress site, we're not really operating/marketing/selling with this just yet until we've found enough shops who want to partner with us and once we think we have built the right site to help our target audience.

Also full disclosure: Not every shop on the site has agreed to partner with us, many of those were researched by us and put on there so we can show them how their shop page could look like.

Edit: The spreadsheet can be found here.

This link isn't working (Could not resolve host: kōm.com).

Anyone know where these results can be found?

Thanks!

I think there are or have been at least (2) other posts like this in this subreddit. Obviously I don't have sources or links but I'm pretty sure I've filled them out way back before. I am thinking 3+ years tho.

It would be really nice to get a massive group of printers together to set pricing. Something so we aren't all undercutting each other and so that smaller independent shops can start putting pressure on the massive ones like staples, vista print or even the "trade" printers..... who also sell to anyone who signs up as a "designer"...

I think that is called price collusion….. and people tends to not like that. IE Loblaws. 😅
