nyc: I would like to know how to get a license to run a printing business in my home? Where can I rent/buy a printer? I live in NYC. I really prefer to buy a new one. Previously I use to run a printing business making invitations, Church Programs for order of services, Banners, Stickers, Business Cards, Resumes, Funeral Programs, Resturant Brochures, and etc from scratch using Create-A-Card and Print Master. Now the problem that I'm having is that the printers I use to own couldn't perfrom everything I needed it to. Now I currently own a Lexmark Printer and one Dell 962 printer. And they still can't perform the tasks I need it to do. It takes forever to print. Now I want to upgrade to a BIG Printer that can handle all of these tasks at a snap of a finger. Someone please help, I want to get my business up and running before January 08'. Thank You!!|||First, call 311 and ask them, what you need to open a home-based business. You probably need a license, as well as other requirements for a home-based business. You can buy a printer at Staples, Union Square, or P.C.
