Imagine quitting a secure but exhausting day job and starting to do something that finally gives you freedom, space to make your own decisions, and real money. Sounds like something for you? Szymon and Martin didn’t want to just keep dreaming – they simply went ahead and did it.
In December 2025, they finally decided not to put their plans off any longer. They bought a wall printer from wall printers⁺ and launched M&K Kreatywność.

Szymon and Martin: the people behind M&K Kreatywność
Szymon is a mining engineer. For twelve years, he managed people as a department manager, and also worked in furniture production, assembly, and waste sorting. Such a diverse range of roles teaches tough, process-oriented thinking, taking responsibility, and performing under time pressure.
Martin spent a decade on construction sites and then switched to driving buses. He was looking for a change. He wanted to use his interior finishing experience, but on his own terms – without a boss breathing down his neck.
Neither of them is afraid of hard work. They had been thinking about their own company for a long time, but they lacked that one, concrete spark. The breakthrough came in December 2025.
“How about… wall printing?”, or how it all started
It all started with a single YouTube video. Szymon came across a video on the wall printers⁺ channel and immediately showed it to Martin.
Thanks to his years on construction sites, Martin instantly saw the potential of this technology. He realised that what used to take hours of tedious painting, wallpapering, and hard physical labour, a machine does in the blink of an eye – and with millimetre precision.
A quick market analysis, a brief discussion, and the decision: we fill out the contact form.
First worries: fear of leasing a wall printer and having no clients
Let’s be honest – starting out is always nerve-wracking. It was no different for Szymon and Martin. During our first conversations, very specific concerns were on the table.
Szymon already had his financial commitments. He asked simple, brutally honest questions: Will this machine earn enough to at least cover the lease payment in the first few months? What if I’m left with debt?
Martin, on the other hand, had never sold anything in his life. He had worked physically all his life. He was afraid he wouldn’t handle getting clients in an industry he was just learning.
Reality debunked these fears faster than they expected.
How did wall printers⁺ help them get into the game?
We don’t leave our people on their own! We prepared a support system that takes away the biggest stress.
- Tailored financing. Together with our trusted financial advisor, we found a lease structure perfectly suited to Szymon and Martin’s budget. The monthly payment stopped being a worry and simply became one of the costs of running a business. Additionally, they received a spare parts package and a 20% discount on inks, which gave them immense peace of mind at the start.
- Simple language instead of jargon. We explained without beating around the bush how sales work. The great thing about wall printing is that you don’t have to talk about it for hours. Most of the time, it’s enough to show one short video of the machine in action or a finished result live, and the client says: I want that in my space!
- Training in Szczecin. Szymon and Martin came to us for a one-day, intensive training session with Krzysiek, our Head of Tech. No boring theory. For over a dozen hours, they learned everything: dismantling, assembling, calibrating, and running the machine, making test prints.
Curious about what such training looks like? Be sure to check out this video on our channel! - Polish service and community. Knowing that the spare parts warehouse is in Poland, and that in case of any issues we respond within minutes on Slack, gave them an invaluable sense of security.
Two weeks with a wall printer: late-night learning – and great results
After returning from the training, the real work began. Szymon and Martin gave it their all. They mastered the basics of operation in just two weeks.
It required a lot of commitment:
“Step by step, we systematically educated ourselves on the wall printer and its software. We downloaded Photoshop, googled a lot, and watched your videos.”
The first test projects were created for family and friends. This was the time to get a feel for the printer, master the graphic design software, and build up confidence.
First paid job in wall printing – “simply wow!”
They found their first commercial client… at the vet’s, by chance. Szymon went there with his cat and noticed that the clinic’s logo was looking quite worn out. Instead of staying silent, he simply talked to the owner and proposed a modern change.
The clinic owner agreed, and the printers from M&K Kreatywność decided to go one step further. They designed a personalised graphic, incorporating a photo of the vet’s daughter’s cat.
The result? Absolute delight from the client. Szymon and Martin won this job with three simple arguments:
- Full personalisation. The client didn’t get a generic image from the internet, but something unique and close to their heart, bringing a smile to their face every single day.
- Cleanliness and rapid pace. The machine finished the job in a few hours – with no dust, no noise, and without disrupting the clinic’s operations.
- Years of durability. Such an indoor print will last up to 10 years without any touch-ups or extra costs.
They will remember the emotions that accompanied them after finishing the job forever. Pride, a handshake from a satisfied client, and that amazing feeling of “WOW!” when the first self-earned money hit their account.
When the same client called them with an order for another project, they realised it was no accident. They felt the wind in their sails.
Where is M&K Kreatywność today?
Today, just a few months after starting, they have serious projects under their belt, including a project for the Fire Department in Poland. Currently, they are waiting for a decision on a large project for a local guest house.
Interestingly, Szymon and Martin are diversifying their income brilliantly. In addition to printing directly on walls, they create canvas prints and offer personalised caricatures from photos, which they generate using AI. This is a genius move – they sell additional products without investing a single pound in new equipment.
Their business has become a family affair. Following Martin’s life principle: “Four heads are better than one!” – the entrepreneurs actively use the support of their wives.
Szymon’s wife took over the graphic design side and learned from scratch alongside them. When a project requires something exceptionally complex, the printers don’t hesitate to outsource it to external graphic designers. They know their strengths and how to delegate tasks wisely so as not to waste time.
Their goal for the coming months? Quitting their day jobs completely and focusing solely on the growth of M&K Kreatywność. This is no longer just a dream – it’s a highly achievable plan.
5 lessons about the wall printing business – from Szymon and Martin to you
If you’re wondering whether wall printing is right for you, take these five pieces of advice to heart from people who were in your shoes not long ago:
- You don’t have to quit your day job right away. Szymon and Martin prove that wall printing is a safe bridge to your own business. You can start after hours and on weekends. With the right approach, the machine will easily earn enough to cover its lease payment, and you will build a financial cushion before finally leaving your job.
- The fear of sales is mostly in your head. Martin was afraid that as a physical worker, he wouldn’t handle clients. Today, he knows that this product largely sells itself. It’s enough to do a few initial projects, show them to the world, and word-of-mouth can become one of your steady sources of clients.
- Stand out or get lost in the crowd. You don’t need to compete on price with traditional painters or wallpaper installers. Offer what they can’t: rapid speed, zero mess, and 100% personalisation. Expand your offer and squeeze the maximum potential out of the machine.
- Choose a partner who always picks up the phone. On-site or at a client’s, every minute counts. Choosing a Polish distributor with their own service, a warehouse with 24-hour shipping, and instant technical support is the key to your peace of mind and continuity of orders.
- The biggest risk is waiting. Asked what he would say to his past self, Szymon answers without hesitation: “You could have got into this sooner!” Every day of delay pushes back the moment you gain your independence.
As Szymon himself sums up:
“The most important thing is simply not to be afraid. Fortune favours the brave. We started from scratch too. We aren’t printing masters yet, but we’re doing really well.”
What do the founders of M&K Kreatywność say about working with wall printers⁺?
The partners do not hide their satisfaction with their choice of business partner. Their reviews speak for themselves:
Martin states:
“wall printers⁺ is a solid partner. We had our doubts at the beginning, but whenever we write or call asking for advice or help, you always find time for us.” – Martin
Szymon also highly praises the video materials prepared by our technical department, emphasizing that they are incredibly accessible for laymen. Martin fully agrees:
“It’s explained so well that even I, who didn’t know this machine, understand it within half an hour.”
Szymon and Martin had no connections in the advertising industry, no artistic education, and no massive capital to start. What they did have was a willingness to work, courage, and a solid partner by their side.

FAQ
1. Will the wall printer⁺ pro wall printer earn enough to cover its lease payment?
Yes, with the right commitment, the machine can earn enough to cover its lease payment. The lease payment for the Basic package is approx. £180 net per month, which, at a market printing price of £60–£100/m², means that this cost is covered by delivering just one medium-sized job a month. However, success requires work and actively acquiring clients.
2. Do I need to have experience in sales or the advertising industry to start?
No, a lack of prior experience in trade or the advertising industry does not rule out success in wall printing. In our Standard and Premium packages, we offer our signature business course, technical training, and a portfolio of completed projects to support entrepreneurs in acquiring their first clients independently.
3. Do I have to quit my day job right away to start a wall printing business?
No. You can grow a wall printing business alongside a day job, for example, by delivering projects on weekends. This allows you to safely test the market and build a financial cushion before leaving your job. However, the final result depends on your effort, the time spent learning how to operate the machine, and active client acquisition.
4. Can you offer more than just printing on walls with a wall printer?
Yes. The wall printer⁺ pro device enables direct UV printing on wood, glass, metal, brick, or canvas. This allows you to expand your offer with additional products, such as canvas prints, without investing in new equipment. While this allows for income diversification, it does require actively reaching out to new target groups.
5. Can I count on your technical support during project delivery?
Yes. We provide continuous technical support on a dedicated Slack channel from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, 7 days a week, with an average response time of under 3 minutes. Our experts will answer any technical question while you are working at a client’s site, giving you complete peace of mind and making your start much easier.
