. can you feel the sunshine? does it brighten up your day? . my printing company screw'd me.
this sucks.
so now, for AC, i may be lacking in some merch:
long story short, i was making cutie-mark charms through my small-run printer...and they decided not to be so small-run anymore. now they're forcing me to print out double the amount for double the price. any smaller amounts are no longer an option (ie - they wont let me do more than 4 different images...where as i had 7, covering the 'mane' cast).
fuck.
now i'm stuck trying to figure what im doing with these charms. printing a "double order" is too many for me to be able to print without knowing if it'll move.
so now, do i try to print them w/o as many CM as originally planned or should i bite the bullet and try to sell my original designs?
uhhh. ac is a month away.

I would definitely try to find another printer next time. But for now, i'm not sure what your best option would be. :/
but what..? XC its so closed to crunch time, im having a time regearing myself.
Zap Creatives - http://www.zapcreatives.co.uk/p/120.....om-charms.html - Based in the UK so prices are in pounds. A batch of 25 charms runs 27pounds, which I THINK is about $45-$50. Shipping would probably be a bitch. Have not ordered from them personally so I don't know what their quality or service is like.
Printsess - http://www.printsess.com/index.htm - Found out about them through Miss Monster. If you order 100 acrylic charms, you can have up to 5 different designs (divided evenly). Come in 1", 1.5", and 2", smallest batch is 100 (costing $100, $150, $200 respectively). If you need 7, best I can say is you could order 2 batches of 100, and put the 3 designs you think would be most popular in one and the other 4 in the other. They also do metal, but (a) I don't think you can divide the order into multiple designs, and (b) there looks to be a $50 set-up fee.
Not sure how small a run you want to do, but those are the best I found when researching it for myself.
