    Hi everyone.

    I m actually running a graphic design studio in cambodia for both outsourcing and local market.
    As you can imagine, i have many problems with my printing contractors (color proof, time to print, quality, paper ... )
    There is many needs for the print in this emerging country. People who wants a good printing quality go straight to Bangkok.
    So i decided to think about starting a good quality printing house.
    1 - Printing machine have long term return on investment.
    I just hade a look to some chineese website today and you can find a 10 000 USD brand new 4 colors offset printer.

    I can hear you !!!! I know, cheep material and no research and dev.
    But the point is you just need 20 times less time to see your investment back.

    Can t those machine go to this point ? this is the kind of machine i m talking about http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/208887887/Offset_Printing_Machine_DM_56II.html

    That was the first point.

    Then To start i was thinking of a 2 colors Offset printer.
    Then some laminating machine and UV, why not ?
    Heidelberg and komori s prices cooled me down !!!
    In this country and part of the world, wages are very low and allow a top quality service for very reasonnable price if you teach the staff how to work properly.
    I m not talking about respectless labour, just about teaching Cambodian a job for wages with they will be able to buil a future. targeting a high class market.

    So i m looking for any advice, anyone who would feel like taking part on this adventure, this printing house in a very stimulating part of the world to bring quality and good work to this country.

    In your consideration.
    Cedric
