Working abroad often brings financial stability, but it rarely provides a sense of being “rooted” or peace of mind about where you’ll be in a few years. Szymon, who has spent years in the construction industry in Belgium, faced a dilemma common to many professionals: how to invest hard-earned money wisely so it doesn’t lose value while simultaneously creating an alternative for the future? He found the answer by chance while browsing the internet after work. That’s when he came across our TikTok about wall printing, which immediately caught his eye. What started as a simple video quickly turned into a solid plan for a secure investment and building the foundations for his own business back home.
Innovation instead of competing on price
Most people in the interior finishing industry stick to traditional methods: painting, tiling, or drywall. The result? Companies start “fighting” over every job. Szymon took a different approach. He looked for something that simply didn’t exist in his local area.
“I started looking into whether there was anything like this nearby. As it turned out, the closest service of this type was in a major city about 100 kilometers away (…) I wanted to invest some funds so that inflation wouldn’t eat them up. I wanted to do something new, something that just wasn’t available in our area yet,” Szymon recalls.
It’s a brilliantly simple strategy. Instead of competing with dozens of local renovation crews, Szymon created his own niche. When the market is flooded with companies offering the same thing, price becomes the only argument—which means lower profits. Wall printing avoids this by offering a premium service that can’t easily be compared to anything else.
A safe start and capital protection
For Szymon, the wall printer is primarily a tool for smart capital growth. Instead of keeping the money earned in Belgium in a bank account where inflation would devalue it, he invested in a fixed asset—a modern machine.
- The Hybrid Model: Szymon still works in Belgium and uses the printer intensively during his stays back home.
- “Remote” Learning: He spent his evenings in Belgium watching our educational materials and learning how to operate the machine. As a result, the moment he arrives home, he is ready to start projects without wasting time on the basics.
- Peace of Mind: Having a ready, profitable business waiting for him gives him a huge sense of stability. He has something of his own that generates income and gives him a real choice regarding his future.
Wall Printing vs. Wallpaper: A lesson from the USA
An interesting part of Szymon’s story involves one of his first major clients—an investor in the tourism industry. This owner of holiday apartments and rental cottages was looking for a way to create high-impact interiors for guests but had very specific requirements.
The client had recently returned from the USA, where wallpaper is the standard everywhere. He had observed how this solution performs in practice and the typical problems that come with it:
- Aesthetics of Joints: Traditional wallpapers require perfect pattern matching, and visible seams between strips often ruin the final visual effect.
- Durability: In tourist facilities, wallpapers often suffer mechanical damage and start peeling at the edges, leading to frequent and costly renovations.
- Surface Requirements: Hanging wallpaper requires an ideally smooth surface. Szymon’s wall printer convinced the investor because its intelligent sensors adapt to the wall’s structure, significantly simplifying the preparation process.
For the investor, Szymon wasn’t just “the guy with the wall pictures.” He was a provider of durable technology that eliminates the risk of peeling decorations and guarantees photographic quality without unsightly seams. Once performed, the service is lasting, doesn’t peel, and looks like new for years. This keeps business clients coming back—in Szymon’s case, after the first print, five more apartments were already lined up.
An investment that gives you the freedom of choice
Szymon’s story proves that modern technology is the best way to grow capital and build stability on your own terms. Even if you are currently working abroad, you can start creating your “second financial leg” just like he did.
“If you can afford it, give it a try so you don’t regret not trying”—this advice from Szymon’s wife is the best summary for anyone looking for a new, profitable path in the finishing industry.
Wall printing is clean, modern, and satisfying work. With market rates around 100-150 euros per square meter, the investment pays off quickly, giving you the most valuable thing: independence and peace of mind about the future.
