Ah, beta, in printing we know sponsored means someone else pays the bill—like a company paying for your MTech, tying you to a bond. Self-sponsored is your own pocket, and non-GATE often means no scholarship. That sponsorship letter is like a mortgage on your future job—they own your skills for years after.
My Ridge Press struggles because young couples now design invites online for free. Why would a company sponsor you if not to lock you down, just like my old Heidelberg is locked to a craft no one orders anymore? That letter isn't freedom; it's a beautifully printed chain.
