Wholesale printing for other small businesses and creators would definitely help long-term in recouping the initial expenditure in buying the machine.

Definitely look into crowdfunding to (partially) fund the printer. I think some of your followers (including me) wouldn’t mind pitching in to see your business grow and thrive with this printer by your side.

oh wow thats such a lovely offer thank you so so much!

Regarding the purchase of the printer, i would do some detailed calculations on how long it would take to start making profit off the products you would produce with that machine. How much does it cost to purchase that machine, and then what products would you create with them? How is your profit margin after all costs for each product you would sell when it was produced in house? How much would you pay for the inks/other maintainance supplies for the printer per how many products produced? Then also count in the manpower required to produce the products as well as the loss for incorrectly printed items. I would run these numbers in great detail and then calculate from the estimated profit how many months/years it would take to have the machine paid off and be able to earn a "real profit". I think it is important for this to be a decision based on numbers and not on emotions to avoid later regret❤

So fun to see your business growing…looking forward to seeing if you end up getting that printer…and all the wonderful ways you will use it.

Excited to see what direction you go with the Roland printer! I hope and know that whatever path you decide to take regarding the purchase or not that you'll be doing what is right for you and the business as a whole!

always love you and your videos!🥰 I know you are so excited, I know the exact feeling when wanting something so cool for a business 😁although I get a strong feeling in the end that printer would end up causing you more hassles and money that what you get out of it in return🥺Similar to the seconds troubles with the other in-house products but with a lot more to loose due to the cost of the machine, end up taking up more time and resources away from running the business. True you will get more control over testing new products, but the hassles normally the outsourced printers have to deal with instead of you, will also now be your hassles, adding to the general day to day issues that come up in the business, making it more stressful than less stressful😕 I just get the feeling it’s the big studio situation all over again, in a different form, where it seems like it’s awesome but ends up costing lots and taking away from your business rather than adding😊 Anyway you know what is best for your business, I won’t debbie downer your anymore☺x

I see what you mean, but we have similar hassles with outsourcing, particulary when it comes to quality, often times it pushes our launches back because we have ran into issues, and it takes over a week to resolve because of the back and forth, I suppose it would be trading one hassle for the next 🤣 but at least this way we could maybe employ inhouse or give Mike more hours hehe

What if you did a kickstarter project that funds the printer with a special bundle of items you make on the printer? Make a new series as a bundle, and add $5 or whatever to the total to help fund the printer.

This is such awesome news. I love watching your business grow. I hope you are able to get this. Have you thought about running a kickstart campaign? Maybe create some kickstart exclusive products? Not sure but just an idea if you haven't considered it.

Would the new printer be able to print your own calendars as well as stickers? If so maybe this will end up saving you money as you wouldn’t have to outsource them. I think this is exciting!

Catherine, I have been watching you grow your business since about 2018, and you have always been such a big inspiration to me. I recently made my own scary investment in an epson eco tank- nothing like a Roland printer, but I'm still not sure if it was a good business decision. My etsy shop was doing well with clay figurines, but I want to sell my illustrations at the end of the day. I am taking my own leap of faith and investing in my self right along side you, just in my own way! Trust in your creative gifts and always keep creating ❤❤❤

@KatnippStudios

6 ай бұрын

I'd love to do a digital range actually hehe!

I just wanted to say that if you do go for one, i would love to commission some jobs. so say a meter's worth of of stickers or a product, which would be easy to cost out and i think a lot of other people would want to as well. Like you say doing things over the pond takes time and can be messy when it goes wrong. You could have 1 day a week to commission work and simple print cut roll and send in a tube so the customer would do the fiddly popping out of the cuts. This would also help finance the printer and be a better guarantee of work and income so no slow summer.

I think you definitely need a small line of wholesale. I worked for a woman in the US who sold cards and prints basically from her home and garage! please come up with a fundraiser or investment opportunity for your flowers. Maybe some preorders with the understanding that it could take a while to receive them!

Definitely consider making stickers for other small businesses using the machine, would be a good extra stream of income and help recoup your initial costs.

Your business's growth is heartwarming. Here at The Evelyn Winters Adventure I appreciated the delightful story and your commitment to spreading the joy of storytelling - a value close to my heart ❤

It's not clear to me why you want to buy a printer that will be obsolete in 5 years time: this is the kind of investment a professional printer would do, not an artist with a limited (even if quite big) number of selling. You need dozens of thousends of printings a year to get back the money you're paying, are you sure is going to be more profittable than working with good professional printers that can do anything that machine can do and maybe to invest the same ammount of money to hire back your sister or someone else?

I wouldnt do it right now honestly if you dont already have the money saved up. Maybe in 2025. Getting a loan right now with inflation and everything else going on you have to be careful. Big purchases like this you really need to think about if your business is gonna be able to pay that loan off or pay you back in the long run.
