This Printing Business Pays $800 Per Job (99% Margins)

  • James Wells

  • Wall Printing Business Owner
  • $10,000+ per university contract

James Wells first saw a wall-printing machine while scrolling his phone.

Think giant inkjet on rails. Roll it to a client’s spot, upload an image, and it prints photo-quality murals directly onto the wall.

The margins are wild…

A 5 by 8 ft wall costs you $8 in ink and you can sell that for about $800.

James didn’t wait around. He walked into an architecture firm in Virginia – before he even owned a machine – and showed them a demo video.

The architect’s reaction 👇

Where the hell have you been for the last 10 years?

He borrowed money, bought the printer, and landed James Madison University as his first client.

A university official saw his work and said…

I don’t care what your prices are if you print it on the wall.

Why? Once it’s printed, students can’t peel it off – unlike vinyl or posters.

That one anchor client turned into a five-figure contract 🤑

No warehouse needed. No retail space. The machine fits in your garage.

Print a few walls for free, film the time-lapses, and let social media do the selling 😎
