I've been printing as a career, with a few breaks, since 1995. I did it as an additional duty in the Army starting in 1988.

Which ink do you want me to bleed? Petroleum-based heatset ink, soy-based heatset ink, soy-based coldset (what we run at this shop), full solvent inkjet, eco-solvent inkjet, latex inkjet or UV inkjet?
