Guides & resources

Practical guides for putting your
print shop online.

Plain-English reads for shop owners - no jargon, no sales pitch dressed up as advice. We’re writing these the same way we built the platform: from the shop floor up. Tell us which one you want below and we’ll email it to you the moment it’s ready.

In the works

Four guides we’re writing for you.

Each one is built to answer a real question shop owners ask us. They’re not all ready yet - we’d rather write them well than rush them out.

    The ROI of online ordering

    What does it actually cost your shop to quote by hand, chase proofs over email, and re-run jobs that went out wrong? This guide puts numbers to the hours you lose and shows how many staff hours an online store that quotes for you wins back - so you can decide with a calculator, not a hunch.

    • Where the hidden hours go - and what they cost
    • How instant pricing turns after-hours quoting into overnight orders
    • A simple worksheet to estimate your own payback

    Pricing

    Print pricing playbook

    Flat price, percentage markup, quantity breaks, per-area for wide-format, or your own formula - there are a lot of ways to price a print job, and using the wrong one quietly eats your margin. This playbook walks through how shops actually quote different products and which approach fits each.

    • Match a pricing approach to each product you sell
    • Build quantity breaks that protect your margin
    • Stop the spreadsheet - let the job price itself

    • No jargon - written for the shop floor, not IT

    Migration guide: moving off your old system

    Already on another web-to-print or print-management system? Moving doesn’t have to mean ripping everything out at once. This guide covers what to bring over, what to leave behind, and how to switch with no downtime - and free migration is part of our founding-100 offer when you move to Printmio.

    • What to migrate first - and what can wait
    • Keep taking orders while you switch over
    • How free, guided migration works step by step

None of these are published yet. Ask for the ones you want and you’ll be first to get them - we’ll never spam you or sell your details.

Don’t want to wait?

The guides explain the thinking - the platform shows it in action. Walk a real store, watch a price update as options change, and see how a job moves from order to proof to ready.
