I've just called a few printers in Sydney: one guy gave a figure for a
run of 1000 bumper stickers of "two to three hundred" dollars
(Australian). He suggested that a run of 1000 was rather small,
claiming variously that:
- he normally handled jobs of 50,000 to 60,000;
- 1000 wouldn't go very far---there are lots of cars out there, and
- a larger run reduces the unit cost. He suggested a run of maybe
2000 or 3000.
We're talking about weatherproof permanent bumper stickers with an
image and some text, in ink which resists fading, in four colours.
I'm uncertain what that means when it comes to rendering 'Brushtail'.
Chris, contact me privately and I'll pass on the details.
