Start here
Find the stage you are actually at
The advice that helps someone who has never pulled a squeegee is useless to someone with a shop and no margin. Pick the row that sounds like you.
You have not printed anything yet
Do not buy a press. Watch enough to find out whether you actually enjoy this, because plenty of people discover they like the idea of printing more than the doing of it.
You are printing, badly, and want it to stop
Almost every early problem is registration, screen making or exposure — not talent. Fix your registration first; it removes more frustration per hour than anything else.
Your prints are fine but you are not making money
This is the wall. It is almost always pricing, and pricing is learnable. Three sessions will get you further than another year of guessing.
You want the whole business, not just the fix
Audience, pricing, production, systems, customer support, marketing. Six-plus hours, lifetime access, and cheaper than one badly priced job.
You run a shop and you are on your own with it
The thing you are missing is not more content. It is other owners who will tell you the truth about a decision before you make it.
The ladder
Everything, in one place
If you would rather just see the whole list and pick for yourself.
First — learn the business
Then — run the shop on it
I build the software too, through Operator Stack
Everything above teaches you how the business works. This is what you run it on once it is real — built for print shops only, because that is the one industry I know well enough to build for. All three products are free to start.
Need something none of those cover — an Airtable system for quotes, jobs and capacity, or a custom app? That is Operator Stack as well. I am a certified Airtable builder, and four of the apps I have built are in production in shops around the country.
