We are starting our new business in our garage.The garage itself needed a major makeover and that is just about completed, so I have turned my attention to equipment and office machines.
I have a fairly good computer but I needed a printer for general officework and I have chosen the Ricoh Gelsprinter GX5050n. (http://www.dyetrans.com/browse_ricoh?printer=GX5050N). Now, I have several reasons for choosing the Ricoh. One is that I already purchased another Ricoh, the GX7000, which we are setting up to use for dye sublimation printing on products, the core of our product line. The GX7000 is a bigger (13" wide) printer but I am so impressed with how fast and nice it prints, I was more than enthusiastic about another Gelsprinter. They use only four cartridges and they have a convenient and easy ink delivery system.
Plus, and this is the big tip for today: you can purchase the starter ink cartridges for $7 each from http://www.conde.com! These carts are smaller than the regular ones, but they print over 400 pages, and the $40 ones only print 1000 pages. Doing the math makes me a smart cookie!

Introducing: bobbicoker, Entrepreneur Princess!
Certainly helps if I start this blog with my bona fides, I suppose. I graduated from Temple University, blah blah,,,but my real life is what has prepared me to give advice on home based working.
I had a small sign company once, painting shop windows and building walls. I painted shirts and sold them in catalogs, sewed garments and sold them at the flea market. I have scoured thrift shops for ebay worthy items and so on. All of these are pretty common avenues these days for folks out of work or looking to make money on the side to supplement a reduced income.
This blog is intended to offer you advice in such endeavors. Right now I am in the process of setting up a whole new shop in my garage. I have purchased all the things I need to put my artwork on a variety of products that I will market in all the usual places, I have found an inexpensive avenue towards my goal of branding my items and making a real fortune.
Stay tuned for the birth of my new brand, the Mermaid's Chest. Bona fide cool stuff.
