That was incredible! You're really awesome! I loved your vibe, you made me smile multiple times throughout the video and i'm impressed with all the research you put into finding the right printer! I've always been really bad at reasearching so thank you so-SO much for sharing your knowledge with us! ❤😊

[@jooshii2098]

Hi 🙋‍♀️ I use a lot of gold in my paintings. Can these printers also print golden color? That would be very important to know 🫶

[@ARTXSUN]

I’ve had good luck with getting a gold or silver to show on my art prints! As long as the photo of the art shows it well. Also, for a big pop, you can embellish your prints after printing them with gold paint. ☺️

[@expressivedezien]

GIRL LOVE your Channel Buuuuuuut not all "office" printers are created equally. I just purchased a Ricoh MP C6004ex Color Laser Print scan Copier with a finisher and when I tell you it is gold it is PURE gold. If you are going to continue to invest in your are (and duh of course you are) I HIGHLY recommend you check out what Ricoh has to offer. Very Very VERY nice prints. And it will print up to 180# I make my business cards, my product cards, boxes etc

[@ARTXSUN]

Love that! Glad you found a printer that works for you!

[@ashleyeverything588]

Love the vid Sunshine! Canons do print hella slow lmao 🖨️ I have a canon pro 100 and i alwaysss have to color correct my prints 😩 I can’t tell if it’s the quality of the printer or if I have to do an ICC color profile thing… I have no idea about any of that, do you have any tips?

[@ARTXSUN]

I always have to color correct my prints a bit too - the screen colors appear a little differently than they do in real life esp when comparing to the real thing. But if they’re way off - check your RGB / CMYK profiles perhaps!

[@bengalhikers2605]

Why you don't talk about Dpi or Resolution of those printers ?? Quality is always master's ...

Hey just curious what website did you use before you got a printer

[@ARTXSUN]

I tried out and used several different websites before I started printing at home! Some were print on demand sites like Printify and Gooten. And back when I did poster prints, I used Vistaprint. Hope this helps!

[@thewitch4987]

For more budget this video is comparable to Canon Image prograf pro-1000 vs Epson surecolor SC-P 900? i would go for that canon for fine art What u think?

[@ARTXSUN]

Exactly, correct! That would be my recommendation but I hear great things about both!

[@thewitch4987]

@@ARTXSUN Definitely! i just fear it will be no longer aviable in ink due to being 8 years old, is the prograf pro 300, released 3 years ago maybe better? I dont need to use A2 format from pro 1000. Matte black from pro 300, 9 colors seems to give off more saturation Pro 1000, 11 colors has blue and grey, i do not know if that makes up a big difference. Pro 309 tank are smaller but cheaper, costly in the long term, but im not one to daily use a pro 1000 that will waste apparently more ink to clean. I do not know, tough, if the pro 300 does consume the same or less, and still shows efficency in the long term using less ink to clean herself.... Sorry, big questions, big brainstormings...

I´m looking for an Eco Tank solution. In your video we can see a refillabable tank... But those printers you are talking about are not eco tank. Is there a solution?

[@billloveless6869]

What size print is the most common one requested/best selling? Thanks, good video.

[@ARTXSUN]

Hey! Good question. It really depends on what kind of art you make and your pricing for the prints. I know some artists that their best selling are smaller sizes like 5x7” or 8x10”. For me, my best selling has been larger sizes like my 16x20” or 18x24”. I think it’s also because a lot of artists whose best selling sizes are smaller, paint their originals small so it matches. I think my best selling sizes are larger because my original paintings are quite large. This is actually why I just bought a bigger printer than the one in this video where I can print larger prints from home! (Video coming soon) lol hope this helps!

[@LILLIFATIMAH41]

Awesome video! Thanks for your help, btw, your artwork is amazing!

[@ARTXSUN]

Aw thank you! 🥰

[@OUT2SEE]

Silly question does you that 13 inch printer also let you change sizes to smaller prints or just specifically for the 13inch size? Thanks great info and video.

[@ARTXSUN]

You can print anything 13” or smaller! So I use this printer for my 8.5x11” prints, 5x7” prints, 13x19” prints, and more. You can also input custom sizes as long as the width is under 13”!

How often do you print and how often do you have to switch the ink?

How do you get a maybe 3/4” to 1/2” white border around the print. I usually sell my artwork already framed. But now after watching this I would like to know how you ship your prints…with a frame or not with a white border around the print, flat in an envelope or round in a tube. If you could answer these questions I would appreciate it so much. I see you did this video awhile ago, do you still stand by the printer you picked out.

[@ARTXSUN]

Hey! I used to not have a border on my poster prints but now that I do fine art prints, I do have a border and I add the border in photoshop to my printing software. I print most of my prints in a flat mailer and my larger ones in a tube. And yes, I definitely still love the printer!

[@creatingwhimsy7561]

What printer would suggest for a crater who makes greeting cards, I will be printing out digital papers to print out for my greeting cards, the papers will have bright colors?

[@ARTXSUN]

I wouldn’t worry about getting a large format for greeting cards! An 11” max art printer would work fine and my top brand recommendations are Canon and Epson but there are definitely others that would also do a great job. Also, Red River Paper has a greeting card sample paper pack that would be perfect for you. It’s only $13 and includes 6 different types of papers and envelopes! Hope this helps! ✨

[@creatingwhimsy7561]

@@ARTXSUN well, I have a series of craft book manuscripts, I want to also use the printer for book making, I also have several images I created for my other brand that would require large space for me to print out images of that brand etc, I also need the colors of the printer to be quite vivid because I will be printing out digital colorful card stock papers.

[@ARTXSUN]

@@creatingwhimsy7561that sounds awesome! Yeah, if you’re looking for a wide format, I definitely recommend the canon pro-300. I love that printer and the colors are excellent. The color quality and saturation highly depend on the paper type too. Different paper types absorb the ink differently. I’m posting part 2 of this video about paper later this week so stay on the lookout for that!

[@nicolehailey]

I love your video, and your sense of humor by the way😂 For someone trying to stay frugal who is starting a sticker business what in your opinion is the best inkjet canon and or Epson printer for the two to $300 range.

[@nicolehailey]

And also art prints I meant to add digital art prints as well as stickers?
