*New "PrintingForMore.com" Website Solves Industry Problem of Cut-throat
Pricing*

Alto Precio, Arizona -- April 1, 2008 – A quiet industrial park outside
Phoenix, Arizona, hosts a new venture in the printing industry, reminding
one of the Internet boom nearly a decade ago. Started by two
entrepreneurs, Stan
and Yosh Shmenge <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Wanderers>, who made
their fortune in the entertainment industry many years ago, the new business
solves a serious problem that has plagued the printing industry since Johann
Gutenberg: prices too low to allow owners to make enough money to stay in
business.

"For years we're heard from our friends in the printing business that they
had trouble making money, so they could not afford our albums or to come to
our concerts," says Stan Shmenge, whose wistful eyes hide the mind of a
calculating investor. Yosh interrupts "So we came up with the idea that they
should just charge higher prices."

And with that, a new business was born. When asked why their shop floor was
so quiet, Stan replied "We put up a web site with a picture of our building
and our cars parked in front, and our phone number. We also made a list of
our equipment, especially our Heidelberg
Windmill<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOdGYUuQebI> letterpress
we got as a gift from one of our close friends in the old country." Yosh
sighed at the thought of his native Leutonia. "We have the
Linotype<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRYxOs1oCRY> from
our country's monthly newspaper, the Leutonia World Guardian Herald Times
and Ledger (the name was the result of a product of a consolidating
newspaper industry in Leutonia). The newspaper was was published every
eleven days, so it's still like new! With good, reliable, and tested
equipment like this, you have to charge more, and people need to pay it."

Stan still had not answered the question. "Don't worry, people will realize
what good printers we are, and they will come, just like they did at our
shows." Until, then, there's always accordion
music<http://www.accordionlinks.com/> in
the background, and a fresh serving of cabbage rolls and
coffee<http://www.sctvguide.ca/programs/shmenge.htm> waiting
for them in the cafeteria.
