Digi-Cropping Suggested Products

Monitors, Stands, & Carrying Case

I researched monitors for a customer and trying to keep the price reasonable, having a good picture quality, not taking up too much of their workspace, and being completely adjustable (raises, tiles, & swivels), this product shined above the rest. My customers who have purchased this monitor are very happy. 
One of my customers waltzed into a crop with her monitor in this case. I immediately had to have one. I love it. It is easy to use and folds away small when I am not using it. It has pockets for storage of cords, etc.
A digi-cropping friend of mine said that she purchased this monitor and loves it. She said it is easy on your eyes and you can look at the screen for an extended period of time and not have eye strain. One of my customer purchased it and LOVED it. 
Back in 2015 I ordered a photo book and some of the colors were really off.  I later found out that my laptop screen and monitor were not calibrated correctly. I soon learned about the Spyder products. I have the current model and am very happy with it. I haven't had a problem since with the colors not printing correctly. 
While at a p2P Live event, Tameka Bond recommended this monitor. It connects via USB-C as well as HDMI. It is lightweight, portable, had a good picture, and is affordable. I am very happy with mine. 
The Samsung monitor does not adjust as much as the Acer and you may find yourself bending over if it is not up on a raiser. This gives you a place to elevate your monitor and has a place for thumb drives, etc. to be stored as well as to set your phone. 

Scanners, Viewers, & Printers

Love this scanner. 
Many of my customers
​have this and love it. 
Purchased mine on 1/22/23. ​I will let you know how it goes.
I purchased mine to print off QR Codes to put on books etc. It is super easy to use and the app is really intuitive.
I have an older version of this printer. It is the HP OfficeJet Pro 8710. This is an affordable printer that does color and two sided prints. It also scans. It is a workhorse. 

Products for your Digi-Cropping Workspace

I find when I am working on my laptop, I tend to slouch. Also, newer laptops tend to have fewer USB ports that I needs. This product helps resolve two of these issues. It raises your computer up to a height the helps you sit with better posture while providing additional USB ports and cooling your laptop too. 
I have found that having my feet up on this cushion helps my lower back. I believe it would be incredibly helpful for those who are shorter in stature as when they have the chair at a height that is comfortable to work at a cropping table or desk, their feet may be not supported without this cushion.
If you have your laptop up on the stand (see product to the left), then it will be better to have a separate mouse & keyboard.
Great hub that connects to a USB-C port and gives you multiple slots for USB, USB-C, and memory cards too. 
I love this for crop weekends. It stays in my crop travel tote. It has a long cord. multiple plug in spots as well as a place to charge USB powered devices.
This is great to use for backup for your Historian cabinet and other 
Easily upload your photos and videos stored on CD's & DVD's using this portable, external DVD Drive.  I have one similar, but it is no longer available. This one was recommended by Amazon. 

Miscellaneous Supplies
This wagon is a must have going forward. I recently got mine and it is so durable and maneuverable. I am able to load both my traditional and digital scrapbooking supplies in it right from my office and roll it out down the front step and out to the car. It comes with a couple of pockets that are great for a water bottle and carrying case too.  

Products for Display
