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.

Printing at places like Walgreens, CVS, Walmart can be iffy. They don't have trained photo people anymore and especially poster prints can come with color streaks as the regular people working there don't always run cleaning cycles on their machines. Stick with either Printify or other print on demand places or print at home (but you need a very high quality photo print (usually run $600 -1000)

Thank you so much for all the information and advice. Some of this I feel like I really needed to know - and am saving the video so I'll hear it again later because I know I'll forget. I'm looking into selling art but haven't gotten anywhere yet. That's fine I know. I just want to thank you so much. Knowing I don't need everything being prestigious on the get-go is honestly relieving. Thank you.

current best printers or latest release new for at home printing "giclee" would be Canon prograf 300 or epson p900 as they print with pigment ink. both printers can cost 800-1200. For budget printers, all the wide format 13" wide + all print with dye ink. so artwork will have less/lower archival longevity. you can get into quality dye printers for $200. The confusing learning curve part after you decide on a printer is monitor calibration and Icc print profiles. but really a few days of just reading into it becomes quite simple. once your monitor is color calibrated which you can download profiles (should be done anyways if you are editing scans) and you have the paper icc profile provided by paper suppliers, after a scan/edits when printing select the paper type and print profile "icc profile". you are set with high quality prints.

If you want larger than 17" wide archival giclee pigment prints then printers start getting very pricey.

Just a note to say, you can increase dpi anytime you want. All it does is increase the pixel density, it doesn’t change the resolution of the actual image. It’s solely a print setting for the amounts and sizes of dots of pigment. There is no dpi setting on cameras, it’s automatic, 72 dpi is not an uncommon default and something you can convert and increase later. I thought it might be helpful to know for the future.

So most printers will not printer higher than 300 dpi, unless you want some magnification to you artwork and want to print it larger than life there is no need to stress about scanning at over 300 dpi. It will just create really large files for no reason.

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.

@Lilstarnerd 2 жыл бұрын

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!!!

@DraconoBlade 2 жыл бұрын

@@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! 😄

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 :)

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 2 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.

QUESTION: you edit it to look better than the original. Do you not sell the original, for more $ as it is the original? And then, the owner of the original would have a "lesser" one?

@Lilstarnerd Ай бұрын

Generally i don’t sell originals! If i do, i don’t sell prints of it. I can’t think of a time I sold both prints AND the original! Partially because i hate parting with my art, and partially because of your points!!
