I was doing a large line redesign for a freelance customer.
He was going to Toy Fair and needed 40 or so mock ups done.
Getting the stuff printed at Kinko's was going to cost him $7-8k in prints alone which he would have had to pay me for up front.
Told him I made a deal with a friend at a service bureau who would do it for 40% off the Kinkos price then ran out and bought a brand new HP 110 Plus NR with roll feeder.
After the printer purchase there was still profit in the prints I did for him plus the actual work of building the boxes.
