Our new Business -Wilflex Printers Supplies

Thought you might like to see our new business - well not really that new now- we've had it for over a year now.

Here's a photo of the outside with our new ute parked in front.
The Portugese Madeira club nextdoor (to the right as you look at the photo) are our landlords.

The next photo shows about half the factory looking from the office area and the front door. You can see our forklift parked in the middle.

On the left are the bulk containers of ink bases that we use to make screen printing inks from.

This photo shows the storage racks for our ink system. Some premixed colours and lots of pigments that get added to the print past bases to create the full range of colours needed by screen printers.

This photo shows the colour mixing area.

Ray's dad works with him mixing colours and making deliveries all over Sydney.

He opens the factory up early around 7.00am and goes home early to beat the afternoon traffic. Ray starts later and stays later in the day often until 6.00pm.

When I go in I usually just do paper work, creating invoices, printing labels for the buckets, doign the banking stuff like receiving and making payments, doing the reconciliation on Quickbooks which is the accounting software we use. I haven't shown the office area because its just a few desks with a computer, printers and fax machine. if we can be guaranteed a long lease we plan to partition off the office are so we can keep in less dusty and warmer in winter. The factory is like an ice box in winter and you can heat it -it would just be waste since the roller door is always open. Nevertheless its too big to heat anyway so I just sit with a bar heater at my feet when I ahve to do computer work.
