Investment + Requirements
INVEST IN CREATIVITY.
The Print Refinery® operates as a licensed business model and is proud to be part of the member-owned, co-op organization, IPI – Member Network (IPI). Unlike a typical printing franchise, we decide how we want the business to run together. Best of all, you get to keep 100 percent of everything you earn, because we don’t take a percentage of your sales! With this business model, we’re able to hand the reins over to licensees. It’s your business, so you should call the shots.
ADDED BONUS:
With access to IPI’s network of Vendor Partners, members use their collective buying power to reduce costs spent on the equipment and supplies needed to run their businesses. Licensees of The Print Refinery® participate in IPI profit sharing – the more that you sell, the more you purchase, the more you receive back!

What type of oversight or restrictions are involved in a license?
With a licensed model, IPI has a very limited role in your business.
Other than your obligation to properly use The Print Refinery® trademarks and maintain a minimum level of quality in providing business services associated with the trademarks, IPI does not restrict or dictate the manner in which you conduct your operations. A licensed model is not subject to sales reporting regulations. A Hallmark store would be an example of a licensed model. A McDonald’s would be an example of a franchise.
