The other thing to remember is, everyone's a David bailey these days, but some of the photo's I get given aren't printable without sorting a few things out in Photoshop first.

Your going to have to tidy most of the photo's up first, show a proof, size it to fit, print it, press it - and the customer will want it 20 minutes ago. You also have the problems of running a geny for your power and trying to keep your heat presses away from people who just want to touch it to see how hot it is.:biggrin:

Good idea though

Oh forgot - you'll need insurance too

I would probably operate a "buy now, pick up in an hour" kind of turnaround time... So they could have a walk round then come back.

We have a shop but there's no way I offer same day subli service, next day is fastest they get
