I love using Fed Ex to make my prints. It's on archival paper and ink. They charge 3.36 per 12 x 18 or smaller. They will charge you a fee if you need them to make it into a certain size and that is generally $7. On their receipts they will give you coupons sometimes so I use those when I'm doing a bunch of different prints.

I’m literally struggling to make art prints right now. Thank you. 🙏

Good luck!!

absolutely lifesaving video, thank you so much for making it for us!

Office Depot is good for starting like Walmart and cvs! They’re pretty cheap and quality is decent :)

This is super helpful! Definitely going to think about going to a local store. I’m thinking about getting a few prints of my art just for myself to see what quality I like best.

Thank you so much for this! I needed some information regarding this because I would like to do prints in the future! Definitely will be coming back to this video to watch it again when the time comes!

You explained this all so well, thank you!

this was super informative and answered a lot of what some would consider basic questions, for me. Thanks so much for taking the time to put it together 💖🌻💖

Thank you!!! This is extremely helpful (as a fellow person with no desire to own my own print service).

really informative as always. ❤

Thank you so much for sharing this info. This was super helpful ❤!!!

Love your videos this is super helpful

thank you so much!!💕

Loves this video! I want to try making prints soon!

By the way, your table i thought at the beginning that’s a wooden floor and thought those folders there are on the floor in giant sizes.. 😂

Anyone who has a membership at Costco or Sam’s Club these places have great quality and prices! Just made an order for prints from Sam’s that came out to like $30 total compared to a place like Walgreens was going to charge me like $75

This was so helpful! Thank you!

Thank you very much for this helpful video!

when i was still at uni i would use the print shop there since the prices were very good and i was at uni almost everyday so was around if there were any problems, not I just sell art through POD sites since i dont really leave the house due to the plague lol

Incredibly helpful thankyou

Thanks!

Hey thanks so much. Loved the way you covered so much info in a very informative way. You nailed it. Could l just mention the lights are reflected in ur glasses and are distracting. The rest of your presentation is fab. ❤

BLESSSSS omg ive been needing this!! trying to start selling and i had a panic at the print shop 🥹🥹

Hey! This is super helpful, I just have a few questions. Firstly, you said you use a scanner--I use Clip Studio Paint and they have the option to export your image to your photo library, with the exact same quality it was on the app. Would that work or do I need an actual scanner? Secondly, CSP's highest DPI is 1200...that's what I usually use. Do I need to export the 1200 DPI image and edit onto a canvas with a smaller DPI, like 300 or 600, or can I just go with the 1200, as in is there a specific reason why most people don't mention DPIs higher than 600 in all the videos I've seen? Thanks in advance. If there's anyone in the comments who could answer to, that would be great :)

Very informative! What format do you save out of the scanner? I noticed jpg is way smaller than tiff at the same dpi. Thanks!

Thank you for the helpful tips! Do you have any other free editing software recommendations instead of Photoshop?

I love your portraits and characters. How did you learn to draw faces?

Nice 👍

When you get an order on Etsy, do you have the print on hand or then order it to be printed? Also do you have it shipped to them or do you ship it to them yourself?

For the scanner, would you need a laptop? Or could you use a tablet or ipad?

Do you have any experience with or advice on pricing prints, stickers, and shop items in general? I have a stock of stickers from doing monthly Patreon sticker rewards and would love to open a shop to sell the leftovers and future prints but don't really know what prices to go with for items.

It depends on how much you spent to get them made, but I always look at the standard on places like Etsy! People generally expect 3x3ish stickers to be about 2-4$, but if that's not enough for you to make a profit, definitely price higher! I'm horrible at math so I don't have a formula to offer you, the way I generally price is more intuitive- does this price feel fail for me? I also calculate how much I spent for my shop update, then figure out how much I would make if I totally sold out, and if I only sold half, and generally try to make sure I'll be making a profit. I hope that helps!!!

@@Lilstarnerd this definitely helps! Good to know the average price for average stickers, and ensuring that half sold = profit makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the feedback! 😄

Where do you outsource your prints from? ☺️

hey!! so i usually have pieces way too big to scan in one go, could u maybe make a video or like explain how you take each scan and then how you stitch them together in photoshop i always have the hardest time with it

@Lilstarnerd

Жыл бұрын

i might make a short if i can!! but in the meantime: i scan each corner, and then the centers of each side, and then put them all in photoshop. the scans are all a bit different with shadows and the lines always end up a bit off, so it's a lot of puzzling and moving pieces and carefully editing to make them look as seamless as possible.

what scanner do you use?

Ugh! Am I doomed? I don't have editing software.

Honestly my issue is coming up with ideas for prints.

@Lilstarnerd

i have a hard time with that too! i think a great practice to start out is just making prints out of art you make in your regular practice and really like, you don't need to make specific art just to make prints!

You're beautiful ❤️

The light reflection in your glasses is very distracting. Do you not check playback before publishing?

The reflection of the ring light in your glasses makes your video very hard to watch!
