How I earn $720 an hour with my uv printer printing on light switch cover plates jaysprinters 

I found a quarter in my couch this morning. Took only 1 second. Long story short, my couch generates $900/hr

nobody shares a gold mine until the gold mine is all but dried up sir.... i think you sell printers

This is the best printer ad ever.

Guys if you want to make $720 an hour, the trick is to not calculate the time it took to create the designs, set up the design on the computer, cut the plywood board, drill the plywood board holes, buy the material, cost of the ink, time to create the listings on Amazon, time to respond to Amazon customers, time to pack and ship the $8.99 item. Cost of box, packing materials and shipping, time to take items to the Post office. Also, don't include the initial cost of the computer, software and printer which also have a finite lifespan.

In a related "product", I work in a commercial electrical company and we use a UV laser to mark cover plates (switches, receptacles, blanks, etc) with circuit numbers or other information as needed. It's the same "indestructible" type covers. I have a template board for alignment in the printer and I just cover most of the plate with painter's tape, use coreldraw to fire up the laser and raster in text or diagrams to burn through the tape and into the plate before finally filling in the mark with plastic-bonding spray paint with the remaining tape as a mask. It takes a little time with all the individual steps but makes a sharp looking piece. For stainless steel we skip the tape and spray on a metal marking compound which looks somewhat like an ugly gray/yellow spray paint but makes an indelible black mark into the metal when lasered, so it remains no matter what cleaners or handling happens. This has been a big saving/profit center for the company since we brought this kind of signmaking, label making, everything-marking services in-house for ourselves and for customers.

I don’t do any printing and have no other reason to watch it other than enjoyment. And I enjoyed it.

Wow, didnt know there was so much hate for someone trying to help others! Truly we have lost our way.

Pretty cool! Just a suggestion, if you turn the slots in an up and down orientation on the screws, it'll make it easier for customers to line them up make electricians and OCD folks like me happy😊

Congrats, you just created 282k competitors in the niche.

I see people selling decorative plates for as low as $3.99 on Amazon severely undercutting rhe $8.99. And when China sees these selling they're going to go lower than $3.99.

Awesome man, you are killing it!

Fantastic video. If I might make a suggestion. A lot of people including myself are very picky about the screw orientation. It’s a small thing, but orienting the screws so the line goes straight up and down would be a small detail that won’t go unnoticed by your customers. I know it’s something that I would really appreciate if I were a customer. Thanks for the great video!

This is theoretical money. You can charge $720 for an hours worth of printing but they may (possibly or probably) sit in an Amazon warehouse for years unsold.

Wow, what a cool machine! I had never heard of it... great video!!

Great idea, nice presentation. Thanks.

Thanks for the info man we appreciate it. Keep it up !

Brilliant idea Jay 👍

We used to take old discarded wallpaper sample books and wrap outlet covers.

Pretty cool. You just gave me a fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing this video. 😊

Great idea! May I suggest you align the screws vertically (plumb) when you lay them on the bed? Then the pattern will align when the screw is plumb, looking even better. And you have many more options for SKU's when you add in the Decora style covers and the magnetic ones (with NO screws). Nice work and thank you for sharing Jay!

Wow that’s very nice good job man keep it up I just seen this video but I imagine you could print on many different things with that uv printer A UV bottle printing machine for 14 years and there’s all kinds of things, but the company has put through it. I wouldn’t be worried about you sharing your products so much because you’ll keep coming up with more original great ideas.

thanks for sharing Jay. You've been really creative. I hope you have lots of success with your business.

Sure the guy makes money with it and maybe he's helping out some people who may want to do this for themselves, great! I've known of UV printers (I have other large printers for printing posters, canvas, etc) but I didn't know about them except they existed. Now I know and will probably keep an ear to the ground for a used one. Thanks for sharing!

Very inventive! So original! Awesome job

You could speed up setup by routering out some starboard to hold the plates in a 1/16 inch recess. No screws needed.

Interesting idea but its not how many you print its how many people buy

Super simple really, low physical impact. I'm familiar with 3d printing, own an ender 3 but recently looking at cnc milling, and laser engraving

Reminds me of a guy trying to sell my dad a key making business. That was the sixties

Brilliant business owner and marketing. Your printers look awesome.

In 2007 we used to print on ceramic tiles for kitchens doing the same process with a Gandy Jedi UV printer..

Being a electrician this is smart to get into

Big up for the Middle class Small business people.

You should make sure the screw heads are placed in the verticle position so they are all in the same direction. This is for those with OCD and for the overall visual appeal/finish after installation of the light switch plates.

12:25 I’d print the SAME pattern at the same time. That way it’s easier to stock up and package each “sku.”

thanks for sharing. We may have a use for such a printer on some of our products.

Love it! I want a dragon on my light switch!

Love your respect of the non-commercial corel draw software license.

You should think about Décor covers as every bathroom should have a GFCI plug in it and that is Décor shaped. Also you should make available to people to have a whole house done. There are actually very few single gang light switch covers in houses these days. So many two or three gang/ Again very cool idea.

Fantastic work!

You should keep the slots in the screws vertical. It looks good

You can use double sided tape to hold the printing jig board.

Holy smokes man. I kept expecting you to have gone to all of that effort to make the board because you needed to attach the plates to it. You can just get some rigid foam board and press the screws into it. That would save you a mountain of time.

Hey, just removed my comments, things were getting dumb in the comment responses and there's no call for that sort of drama. So I'll leave a new one. Love the channel! I like your printer design and am looking forward to when I can add one of these to my tool set.

Great video! I have a question what kind of lubrication/grease (for the rails) are you using for your machines?

A real electrician, will want the slot of the screw perfectly vertical so dust will not collect. Love your setup

This would be cool to custom match a cover plate to a detailed tile backspash

Very cool graphics indeed.

Great video thank you

You should have aligned the screws before printing

If you'd like a bit of advice, the slots in the screws should be straight up and down. When installed in new buildings contractors do it this way so when the inspector comes by and looks he'll know that no one's been messing with the electrical besides the electrician. Any painter worth his salt Will always put the screws back in this position after removing for painting

Dude thats awesome

So where do you sell those switch plate and outlet covers? Do you accept images to use for the print or do you have an album of available prints?

As someone who has OCD, you might put the screw slots horizontally or vertically. Personally, I prefer the slot to be horizontal.

That printer costs $3200, that’s a lot of cover plates. 400 before profit. Ouch

Awesome!!!!😃

whoa! sick designs

I'm the one thinking this setup would be perfect for circuit labeling by industrial or commercial electricians 😂

Will this print on 5052 aluminum or does it have to be special aluminum coated? Can I send you aluminum plate to see if it will work? I want to buy this for my small business but don’t want to spend $3500.00 if it doesn’t work.

Slick operation you have there bro! Jack ~'()'~ Canada

I easily make over a million dollars a year printing my ads on these covers and covertly installing them in retail stores, gas station bath rooms, gyms, malls, libraries, my friends house. You get the idea $$$

Dang! Wow! 🤑

Not sure who would pay ten bucks for one, at best maybe four or five, so you need to sell maybe 800 with shipping costs to break even. If it sounds too good to be true, it ususally is.!

How do you set that printing depth to assure that you don’t get a printhead strike on the tips of the screws? I presume its height is adjustable somehow. what is the farthest distance that you can print from the printhead to the printing surface?

And by the way - good choice in tools! Milwaukee truly has lots of class leading stuff... not all of it is that overpriced... just most of it but better to say high priced or premium priced as overpriced means not worth it and the brand is really one of the best. I have a Milwaukee cordless screwdriver and the "clutch" on it is like magic compared to my coworkers DeWalt which is a mechanical ball/detent design... The Milwaukee clutch is electronic and it just ... stops ... when you reach torque. My co worker finds that to be annoying and likes his Rigid stuff better. RIgid seems quite legit as well.

Ask your customers to send a picture with the socket positioned, then you have their wallpaper pattern and can use CorelDraw/and your UV printer to print the wallpaper pattern over the socket, leaving only the rocker switch to show where the socket is located.

Fluorescent light switch covers could be an interesting idea if you could print this sort of ink on it

Can't believe all the hate for a cool idea. It'd be cool to print the switch and the cover together, then it would be easier to sell the set I think, but you'd have to do the flatter switches. The outlets should be easy to do.

No idea why this popped up in my feed but thought it was interesting….

Just an O.C.D., observation. The screws, should be vertical when mounted on the wall. If you set all of them vertical just before printing, the patterns will be correct when mounted on the wall.

Why would you not align the screw slots vertically! 😭

A firework design on a plate may be interesting. Old school m80, cherry, even a rocket design may be interesting 🤔

All these people claiming they have OCD because the screws dont line up don't have to live with actual OCD...

There is definitely some "youtuber math" going on here. You don't earn any money at all by printing those. You earn the money when the items sell. Seems like the title and a lot of what you say in the video is just designed for clicks, and to get people to buy the printer. Using words like "potentially" would make this a bit more accurate. You could "potentially" earn "X" amount if you can sell all of these. Also, you don't make $10 each unit, in terms of profit. There are so many costs associated that you don't mention. Not the least of which is all the fees that go with selling on Amazon. There is also all the labor that goes into research, design creation, etc. I'm guessing that after all actual costs involved, you are probably making half or less than half of that. Nothing wrong with that, just click bait to say what you said in the title. At one point I think you even said you could make up to $1000 per hour. The implication is that you can make as much money as you want, just keep printing more items. But again, you don't get any money if it doesn't sell. I think you are falsely getting a lot of people's hopes up.

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing. Subscribed!

"CorelDRAW 2020" "Not for commercial use" ... Bruh. You be violating EULA in plain sight. Best crop that part out in the future, or make it right with the correct license. This is a cool video. I dig that blue design you showed at the end.

720$ an hour? I call BS.. for the simple fact that people aren't exactly knocking ya door down for light switch covers. Cool toy though and i do see potential, but light switch covers just aren't in demand like talkin about my guy. My question is can you do designs on say a pistol, or rifles? Or doest the object have to be perfectly flat? Even vehicle trim peices like around the radio or the gauges, or interior door handles, stuff like that for custom car builds. Anything that can be removed and is plastic. The possibilities are endless if it doesn't have to be perfectly flat. But light switch covers??? Nahhh😏😒

Good job, Jay, I really wonder where did you buy this printer.

great idea!

I would have used a piece of high density Styrofoam for the bedding jig. Just push the screws into the substrate, no drilling. But then he went on about the milwaukee drills being the best. They're not bad.. and I was a milwaukee man once upon a time.. but I've got a few dozen varied drills, half a dozen mini recip saws, 4 full size recip saws, several lights, and a boat load of batteries that are dead within an 8 year span with no repair support because they're out of warranty. And have to replace milwaukee batteries regularly. On the flip side, I've got my father's Dewalt battery drills, recip saws, lights, etc that are 20+ years old and still work. I've replaced switches, control circuits, motors, gear boxes and more on my milwaukee equipment myself. I've even replaced dead cells in the batteries myself. I've only had to replace a few of the batteries for my dewalt stuff. The corded tools are much more reliable but I've still had to replace plenty of parts on my milwaukee corded verses practically no repair needed for my dewalt corded stuff. Take it how you will, but my "side by side" experience has proven dewalt to be more reliable. I like them both but I purchase dewalt now. And.. milwaukee discontinued one of its most popular and useful tools.. the "hatchet" reciprocating saw with the folding handle. Bad call, milwaukee.

Thanks, what a well done and inventive video! I had no idea a kind of printer exists actually. I figured maybe laser but this is cool! Will this work on any material or does it specifically need to be a hard and non-porous surface? I’m thinking about doing something crafty for my home but by doing sublimation printing which I have yet to figure out!

Great video Jay! Wondering where can I find the blank switch plate covers that you used?

Print the screw placement at the same time then use a drill just a tiny bit bigger to locate them very acurately acurately

This video was awesome - thanks for sharing for real. This is indeed inspiring and I am very happy you have found some great luck with your sales!!! How did you get connected with your customers? How did you advertise? Would be awesome to learn about. Cheers!

Great idea

The screws are in a different place on an outlet cover. You still have to prep your pattern.

the 3rd hole is always a surprise any way, the printer is cool, didnt know you could just print on plastic, or the other materials you claim. I doubt any one would be making 720$ an hour with it though, especially not constantly, but i would still like to have a printer like that for my own personal projects. whats the brand and model? where can they be bought? approximate printer cost? aprox ink cost?

The fact is, the reason this man has shared this is because he is at *NO RISK* from any of you yahoos in the comment's section. The click-bait is click-bait, but whew... the paranoia coming out of these comments lol Go ahead. Buy a printer. Do exactly what he's doing. It's a sea of customers, and he already has 1) a store, 2) a customer base, 3) all the weird fiddly processes ironed out, 4) materials and suppliers, and 5) time and willpower to do all this shit for money. You go to *ANY* youtube video series that talks about "making money" off of making stuff, and you will see the same motivation; they are doing this because a) it's fun for them and b) it promotes their business and gets them a bit of ad money. But yall out here acting like he's trying to rip you off. You're too clever for this snake oil salesman, for sure! "But the clickbait was deceptive!" Fuck's sake, there really just aren't enough adults in the world anymore.

I like the drill press

One suggestion. If you watch a pro install switch covers, they will align the screws so the slot is vertical. Make sure they are aligned vertically when you print on them.

Wow, That’s pretty cool. Good Luck on a profitable business.

Good video

The secret to success is having a secret

Definition of a niche product

Water transfer is cheaper. Requires way less up front cost, learning and gives a better product because it wraps around the side.

What else besides plate covers have you printed on?

dont know if u already thought of this but u know what i think would be a cool design? print them like a deck of cards or just maybe perhaps the ace of spades? or maybe the queen of hearts for girls?

expensive device but you're so convincing that it could be an investment and a money generator in less than people could think. You earned a subscriber Jay! It's amusing that you use a non-commercial license for Coreldraw... while you do have a real commercial activity. Funny. Don't worry I won't tell them anything ;)

I'm sure if I have that printer I won't be able to sell those. Congrats if you can make that money.

Very cool

You look EXACTLY like my dad I mean a 1 to 1 lookalike bro😂😂
