I'm not sure you're going to get any practical answer in this forum that you want to hear. If you need this work done anytime soon, as a hand-on specialist yourself, you need a hands-on specialist to help get this work done for you. Somebody local would be ideal. (But good intentions of good neighbors are not an ideal business situation at all.) But even somebody within a several hour's drive away would put you a hundred times further ahead a hundred times faster than you're likely to get by trying to learn how to use specialized software applications and then how to deal with the printing business as well. Not saying you can't and not saying you shouldn't; I'm just suggesting your time is probably limited and you'll get no customers at all for a very long time to come if you let your current ambition distract you. A specialist simply needs other specialists. Best of luck.
