Create account / upgrade

Here you can register for a free account or upgrade your existing account to a higher level.

The free account is made for members who won't use PrintersLounge to promote their company or for additional staff members from companies that have already existing accounts on a higher level.

The basic account is the heart of this network. It supports each subscribed member with a complex directory listing and a lot of extra features.

The higher accounts are subdivided into five different categories with increasing privileges - each one for a special application. The sponsor account is made for those companies that are recommending our service and wish to support us additionally on a financial basis. By the same token we promote those sponsoring members with special listings in our press and marketing work and with a dedicated sponsor directory.

Why do we have these paying accounts?

Most people think that the Internet is the biggest enemy of the printing industry. But that's not the whole truth. The printing industry's worst predator is 'free content service'. So anyone who wants to support this industry with a free web service must be crackbrained. Now that we have the great chance to show the world (and not only the print and media industry) that paid Internet services can be successful business models, we'll probably be able to reduce this tremendous loss of budgets for printed media. If the printing industry doesn't trigger this incentive it will never be triggered!
