Hello all,
As we've had requests from many people asking for stuff that was on our stall and wasn't officially for sale, or we had run out of stock, we've decided to set up an online shop!
We are accepting PayPal payments, along with snail-mail cheques.
Head over to:
http://shop.boznet.com/
Seeya there!

Feel free to e-mail me. As a summary, though, the shop is actually running on my little server here at home. The cart is based on some PHP code I knocked up, and when you click on "checkout" it sends the cart to PayPal in one go. Seemed the quickest and easiest way to have a multiple-item cart.

Actually, seriously expensive paper, and seriously expensive machine to print it on. If you did just one colour poster as a one off to those specs, the printer would charge £400 because of the setup costs, plates, etc. If you want £3 posters, you have to buy about 2,000 posters. The last time I did that with the BIT 3 posters I ended up dumping them in the street after 8-bit revolution, and putting them on a dustbin at Brighton.
Not that it has anything to do with me, of course, but the Bouff shop uses the same stuff and it's seriously good quality: much better than a crappy old poster.

Expensive pigment-based ink thingy and heavyweight paper. We're not making a profit on these either, we get them at an expensive price. Sorry mate!
Addendum: Chris answered this a lot better than I could! Ta Chris

Hey - Its worth it Too !!
- I tried to get my own print from my original photoshop file, the quoted price was very similar (minus postage and crdboard tube of course). One off's always are, unless as chris says, you buy em in bulk.
