    How to get postcards made

    I've used a company called Abacus before (in Cumbria) quite well known for high quality printing for artists - good colour reproduction which is important if you've spent ages getting it just right! Not something you can easily get on the cheap.

    Buyer trying to rip me off

    From the customer's perspective, I ordered a gadget from Amazon & although the packaging was right the contents were clearly an old model... looked like it was some old return re-boxed. So maybe it's a little early to assume the buyer is ripping you off without being sure of what was inside...

    How to sell modern art?

    Sorry I don't quite get this statement. Lots of artists sell from their websites and through galleries. Galleries usually take about 40% & usually it's on a sale or return basis. Don't try to undercut the galleries as they don't like it & won't show your work. Why don't you just approach...

    Business Intelligence

    I actually work in Business Intelligence & do a lot of prototyping in QlikView. There's a free personal edition download that's pretty good. The software is very intuitive and there's a QlikView community where you can post questions... Just google it as I'm probably not allowed to post URLs...

    Shameless self promotion

    Yeah I guess it's not an easy thing to fix, it's just interesting from a relative outsider's view, what is & isn't tolerated!

    Shameless self promotion

    Apologies if this question has been done before... I've been kinda lurking on this forum for a while, of course browsing other peoples' questions (and of course Citizen-whatsits melodramas!) and been genuinly interested in peoples replies... What I've noticed in nearly every posting are plugs...
