But both these require that he does more than the usual contract
manufacturer, not less.  Requiring someone to show up with stencil and
centroid file is the opposite of guiding them thru their first production
run.

Neil, you won't be able to compete on price.  That means you either don't
get into the business (I think the smarter choice) or provide some sort of
premium service like Marc is suggesting.  Of course that would cost several
times per unit what Djula would charge for the same thing but with less hand
holding.
