Unfortunately, our prices have to go up. We raised our prices once in 2022 about 9% to cover the inflation everyone experienced, but after looking over the books this year, it wasn't enough. The new map printer is more expensive to operate because it's using UV resistant ink, and it's broken down and needed repair already. The counter cutter is also needing some work after 10 years of operation. All of our supplies and consumables have gone up as well. Effective Nov 1, 2024 we are raising prices on counters and maps 8%, this should be the last round of increases, but who knows. The alternative is closing shop and retiring.
