Become a Licensee of The Print Refinery®
INVEST IN CREATIVITY.
The Print Refinery® operates as a licensed business model designed to remove the guesswork from owning a creative business. Unlike traditional franchises, you keep 100% of everything you earn because we don’t take a percentage of your sales. It’s your business, so you call the shots.

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.
