Yes I could get it printed there, but they are double the price... I avoid supporting the big corporations and try to support these mom and pop printing shops, they used to be our drafting supply stores when we still needed supplies to make drawings. They were replaced by computer stores and software companies and now just run prints for the most part. I still work with one architect that draws on the boards so I suppose they still sell some of that stuff, I don’t go in to pick stuff up, just email files.

(I cant use Staples for my work, because every time I have, the scale was off and city will reject stuff out of scale if they notice it, basically they are set up to print to fit... Would be alright in the case of the Q map probably)

What I meant, was the corporate/management probably would not allow them to run off 20 extra copies and set them out to try to sell for whatever they normally get for a print being printed... Mainly because I assume they would not want to be associated with Q and that map...

That mom and pop shop might, especially if somebody had heard of Q there... They are still making money on the prints even charging half of what Staples does, Paper and Ink in bulk is cheap.

I see. Thanks.

Was hoping that Staples was not rabidly hidiot liberal.

Agree about supporting local mom & pop places--just no longer exist much in our locale.
