UV Printing: Can You Afford To Ignore It?
Having two of my daughters in college this year and the third involved in numerous activities in high school, my wife and I are asking the same questions as I do in my business life: What is the starting budget amount allotted for this year? Did we allocate the appropriate funds per event? What are our immediate needs? How urgent are these needs? Can we survive if we postpone these purchases and what effect will it have on our lives? When it's all said and done, will we stay at our budget?
