Great advice D. My biggest hurdle is the space to rent. I don't have a big house like you had to get started in the garage, so I'd definitely need a space. Well I live in the Bay Area, and lets just say space is at premium, a big premium. I can't afford that $4500 a month without the big revenue stream coming in from day one. But other than that, I would to start my own shop.
I started my business when I lived in an apartment. It's been 12 years already. I will say, as my space increases, so does my revenue. Start the way I did, outsource everything. You only need a computer.
Picking a lane... Been feeling that recently. Thinking of just going 100% embroidery, but I do like the heat pressing jobs bc they have high profit margins. Why do I have a BN 20 and a Ricoh Ri 100? Feeling like they are a time suck but still optimistic I can find a way to run everything at once making profit off them all
can I pay you for a consultation call? I already have an established business selling printed materials. I’m Currently sourcing from China. Looking to bring my operations in house and stateside. Need some advice on machinery and cost calculations would love to connect with you.
Thanks for your advice . What machine would you recommend for printing envelopes and color flyers/ letter ? I’d like to buy one nice machine for that and just focus on building my clientele for those two things.
I've got the printer sublimation I've got the cricuit maker 3 I've got the heat press. I'm I overwhelmed where do I start. Lol was gonna start with a Facebook group. Run ads in the market place I'm.nkt sure where else. And maybe do flyers in the mail and post them in places ppl would be. However I will need ppl to ad my group and hope like hell someone orders so I can show my work etc lol I have a bf that is a guide for fishing so I am hona try starting that route and see of I can also get customers that way. 😊 help
What's the printer you use to print business cards, including the way to cut them? Also, what else can I print with it? I hope you don't mind me asking! thanks
@@ttms Never better. Thank you so much for your tips. Do you have a course on your website about how to start a print shop, outsourcing most of the things. I'm a logo designer in my home town but people ask me sometimes about printing projects but I don't have anything like that. All I have is my creativity to do the job but right now I'm delivering everything electronically. Thank you Daron, you rock man!
I have this course that teaches you how to get started with large format. It walks you through everything from getting started, outsourcing, and equipment. timetomakesomething.com/product/large-format-selling-course/
Great videos. Do you run into trouble dealing with the competition from direct online places like sticker monkey/ mule? They seem so cheap and run tiny quantities? Or is it a loss leader for you? Keep the vids coming.
I know its a different time zone in the u.s. my son lives in Virginia, however I live in the U.K., i love your vids but please stop yawning as I start yawning too, you do know yawning is contagious don't you lol 😮
I'm appreciative and grateful for the advice and experience you give to people starting a print shop. Also in providing your course and calculators. I'm working on starting a business myself and feel lost at times with where to start, so I hope I can learn that in your course. So THANK YOU again!!! Keep it up!
Enjoy the videos. I own a label/sticker company in the U.K. I’m not following your advice😮 I’m actually trying to see what else I can do alongside the successful label printing. 😊We out-source some things though
I just purchased the HP Latex 335 Print and Cut, waiting for delivery, thanks for the advice. I can't wait to start PRINTING!!!!
Nice! Best of luck.

@Time to Make Something I'm also in my apt it's not huge but I have an area for everything and I have a storage room in my apt
@@ttmsbut starting this or any type of business from a garage or a basement doesn’t “have or display” the same amount of trust that a building does.
You are very funny person. Seem like you have a good sense of humor. Thanks for the good advice
So, tell us about that UV printer in the background...
I'll have a video on it soon.
Oh Hello Daron, good to see you
Good to be seen.
Join us Every Friday as we walk you through the "How to" of the Printing Industry!
Or Monday, or Wednesday, depending on how Faron is doing... 😂
Where at?
I love you so much brother 💜🤞🏽 keep up the awesome job

dang this really is my set-up too, i got a 315 & graphtec. i need to lean into the sticker production, posters & banners.
The thing I hate the most is changing the media. Banner rolls are so heavy.

Do you print on the Konica much? And when you do what is the number 1 product you normally print on it? 😊
I print with it multiple times a week. 5x7 and other postcard sizes. That and 8.5x11 glossy text flyers.
@@ttms awesome!! Do you ever print booklets or anything like that?
I've done a few small projects but I don't have the right equipment to do it at scale.
Love the content man - keep it coming!
Just quit making me tired with the yawning, would ya? :P Hahah.

Before you pay for ads, I'd suggest talking to local business in person. You can spend a little time and save a chunk of money.
name of the beat?
I have a HP L360 and Graphtec FC8600. What are your thoughts on printing polos and graphic ts using my Latex? I have the same heat press you have.
I've done a few polos with printed htv. Most polos I do embroidery though.
@@ttms do you have a video on this?
Nothing specific but you can search htv on my channel and there are a bunch of videos about it.
Starting out from your garage, outsourcing pretty much everything...how do you get customers? How can you make money?
That's how I started. Talk to friends, family, post on social media. It takes time but the work comes.
@@ttms I really appreciate it. Thank you

Hello fine sir.
Hello.
What kind of vinyl do you use for your stickers?
I typically use a 3mil vinyl with air release.
@@ttms any specific vinyl brand you prefer
Have you had any color issues out of your Latex?
I have not. I even have a customer that I print the same decals for every few months and the color is always the same.
@@ttms Awesome. Good to know, might buy one in the next few months.
How can one lease a Latex machine?
