Lori, 

      Oh, I did my own invitations for $1 each using powerpoint!




The one comfort here is that such people would never be your customers. Or anyone elses'. 

      If I want more work though, I may have to bite my lip




Take your product to the markets that will buy from you. In today's economy, I think it would be wise to offer laser as well as offset. You'll have two price points. Two different sets of customers. If you can't sell one type of card, you should be able to sell the other.

Remember, in the end, we're commercial artists, hired to do the job. Don't take it to heart. Take the money and run to the bank. Very few of us can afford to narrowly specialize.

For your soul, try painting, improve your photography, rebuild Model A Fords, play an instrument -- whatever gives you inner satisfaction.

Neil
