I am a graphic designer, skilled, working and educated in the field. I have recently been getting a lot of inquiries on wedding related freelance jobs. I outsource printing to a professional printer and cannot compete price-wise with all these home based invitation "designers." I feel that I can give a much more quality product if I outsource printing but am losing jobs to others printing on laser printers.

It has made me re-think things. Should I continue to lose jobs or adapt my services so that I can print laser too to accommodate a lower cost?

Anyone have experience or thoughts on this?
