I'm afraid your just too unknowledgeable of the subject to have an intelligent conversation. However, I will answer your question simply for the entertainment value. If you are a business, you are allowed to "write off" 50% of meals and entertainment expenses. You obviously need to provide receipts and have some type of record that the expense is business-related (in the event of an audit). Business supplies can be deducted 100%.
In your case, for your business, you would be able to deduct (write-off) the cost of the legitimate reprint cards and aging chemicals (aka business supplies). If you go to lunch with you reprint card salesperson, you get to deduct 50% of that meal as long as you were discussing business. Not much of a gray area.
