I couldn't agree with this post more! Outsourcing everything was the best business decision I've ever made. I worked remotely from Australia for two months this year and used Google Remote Desktop to connect my laptop to my PC back home. T-Mobile was $50/month for unlimited calls and texts. I...

For me, being on a Caribbean island, self help was an economic necessity. The machines are actually pretty easy to fix if you can find YouTube vids and/or access to tech info. Getting parts was never hard. I was always super proud when I could clear a code and get a machine back online myself.

Yup. We were originally a commercial offset printer specializing in forms. Those digital printers transformed my business into a full color operation. No more costly Pressman! Then I learned how to mount vinyl and make banners and signs watching YouTube videos. Along came Direct To Garment...

Keep us posted here!

I'm not a technician by trade. But, owning a shop on an island in the Caribbean meant I had to learn how to be one. Over the years, I became proficient at performing all service/repairs on my fleet of Bizhubs along with the Canon and Mimaki large format printers we had. I think your YouTube show...

I've never been happier since I closed my shop and became only a reseller. I used to sweat all that stuff too.

I get a lot of ACH payments from my larger clients and the local government. Don't be afraid...its totally legit and safe form of payment.

I have a portable toilet client that I sell a few sizes of decals to on a regular basis. The only material that seems to stick to the plastic portable toilets is Drtyac Polar Grip. I used to make these in-house but my old Mimaki died so I'm now outsourcing everything. I'd like to find a...

I have only ever used Adobe software.

I use Windows 11 as my main work station for everything including graphic design. I have never had any issues and enjoy using it. I also have other workstations running on Win 10, Win 7 and Vista and all devices on the network run smoothly and communicate well. My Win 11 rig is a custom built...

Being able to outsource almost everything has enabled my wife and I to "semi-retire" and while retaining a good portion of our income. Its quite enjoyable to work this way and super profitable. Most customers have no idea we work from home and we have a great web site which makes us look bigger...

After 50 years of having a shop in the same location, we semi-retired and went home-based with website last year. I've never been happier... no more having to deal with the walk-ins! The smallest customers are always the most time consuming.

My quotes are only valid for 30 days!!!!

I bought a print shop from a old timer who, at 70, had had enough after 30 years in the business. He had no kids and just wanted to get rid of it. My wife and I bought his business for about $100K twenty years ago. We've never once regretted it and continue to profit from it everyday. Today...

Great info...I did not know this.

I'm set up with Firespirit and like what they offer, but, they don't ship to the islands either so it really limits what I can buy. I want to try them but only orders where the end-user can wait 3 to 4 weeks are suitable for them.

In my case, B2Sign would not ship directly to me in the US Virgin Islands. All my orders had to go through my freight forwarder in Miami which adds 1 to 3 weeks to the shipping time plus shipping costs. The vendor in India happily ships right to my door by Fedex (or blind ship anywhere) with 7...

I buy from trade printers everyday. I used to use B2Sign extensively but now, I buy most of my large format from a company in India. They're cheaper, faster and better. However, I'm always interested in a US source if I can find a good one.

I've had good results with Polar Grip from DryTac on Porta Potty decals.

Defender is the only anti-virus software I've had for as long as I can remember and I run it on all my business and personal PC's. I can honestly say that I have not had a virus or malware for many years.
