FAQs

Q1: Do I need any printing experience?

Not at all — and honestly, most of our customers started exactly where you are right now. No design background, no printing experience. We provide full onboarding support and a tutorial library to help you get up and running quickly.

Q2: How much does it cost to start?

Your starting investment will depend on the printer model and materials you choose typically between $1,599 and $4,999. That covers the printer, inks, film, and everything you need to start producing from day one.

Q3: How soon can I start making money?

It depends on you, but here's what we've seen: most customers get their first order within 2 weeks of listing on Etsy or reaching out locally. You don't need to wait for everything to be perfect. Start small, learn as you go, and grow from therea.

Q4: Where do I sell my products?

A lot of our customers start on Etsy or Shopify. Others go local gyms, salons, schools, small businesses. Some do both. There's no single right way. Start with what feels comfortable and expand as your confidence grows. Wherever works best for you.

Q5: What if I don't know how to create designs?

You don't need to be a designer. There are tons of free and low-cost tools out there Canva, Kittl, Creative Fabrica that make it easy to create professional-looking designs. Many of our most successful customers started with zero design skills.

Q6: Can I do this alongside my full-time job?

Absolutely. That's actually how most people start. Evenings, weekends, a few hours here and there. The printer doesn't need you standing over it all day. Build at your own pace — there's no pressure to go full-time
