I went for an Epson ET-2756 It's one of those eco-tank models.
I got an Epson EcoTank printer last year and STILL have yet to change the ink on it

the whole technology means that printers are absolute beasts when it comes to mass printing at home!

Oh man, I am so glad I stopped in to see how you are doing @rich110991 because it looks like you are killing it!! Ignore your family for not giving you praise - you have got a sustainable business and are now making money hand over fist. Excellent work!

I am still out of the country so yet to get going on it sadly - but I am back on Friday with good intentions!

This may sound silly but have you got a print shop or photo copying shop near you, they will obviously charge but they may help you out by printing on your paper if push comes to shove

Having a nightmare at the min.

My printer started printing funny last night and after calling Canon support 3 times and being disconnected each time, they ended up emailing me saying it needs repairing. I’ve only had it about 5 months.

I’ve got about 20 pics that I should have posted today and couldn’t. And I’ve done about 25 today that I should be posting tomorrow or Thursday. And then like another 150+ to do.

I’ve paid for next day delivery on a new printer so it should come tomorrow. I need it to work though and print well. And I need it to have enough ink in it to last until the ink I’ve ordered arrives.

I was already stressed, if it goes wrong tomorrow I don’t know what I will do. I’ve changed the delivery time to 2-3 weeks today because I just needed the orders to stop coming through for now, and they have.
Hope you are all sorted today and can get back to the business of making lots of money. :)

Thought the orders would slow down and I’ve still had 18 today so far. I’ve just put the prices up.

Woohoo well done! First of many hopefully :) What do you use to do your mock up/preview photos? I found a few sites but they either want me to pay or it takes me off to another completely different site to do the mock up which is confusing. I had a feeling I read earlier on that there were free resources...

I was using GIMP, until I updated my MacBook and it absolutely ruined GIMP. It’s basically broken. This was during this stressful period. I went on Twitter and saw that GIMP had said they wouldn’t be able to fix it at the moment. So then I had to pay for Photoshop, £20 per month. But to be fair, it’s awesome and I’m able to do the pictures a little bit quicker! If you have a Windows Pc/laptop I’d say just use GIMP though.
Yeah I must try GIMP, I did go onto the website but thought it looked a bit confusing initially haha!

Thanks, I use Affinity Designer and it has pictures that you can use for free, so that is what I have done and then just put my design on top.

Another sale but what a nightmare.
I had to cycle in the rain all the way to my local post office as they wanted it next day.
I hope I get a good review lol :D

If anyone finds a good cheap drop-shipping company that you can still make a profit with, please let me know aha. It would be so much easier to not have to deal with the printing and posting.

For £18 a week Royal Mail will collect them from your home, have to have over 20 postage items a week and register for a business account. That solves the posting part.

"Royal Mail Weekday Collection – The cost of a weekday collection Monday to Friday is £787 + VAT per annum. Alternatively you can opt to take your items to your local Post Office along with your end of day manifest."

Hi Robchoc - do you have a link to your store at all?
