Love how the cat is just cillin in the back

[@SketchyTrav]

yep that's Yuki. She kept wanting to lay on the prints that were in my desk.

Very informative. Thanks for taking the time out to make the video and thanks to your wife to make time to shoot the video.

[@SketchyTrav]

No problem and glad you found it useful.

[@shane1qaz]

us visual learners thank you for actually showing us how to use the printer in a familiar situation ✊🏿

[@michayahjwalker3349]

I like how you left a cat's corpse behind the printer

[@Arctica88]

I don't think many artist realize how many cool and cheap supplies for shipping and displaying your art you can get from Dollar Tree. I love that store!

[@oliferous]

Seriously, dollar tree has saved me a TON of $$ in packaging/shipping supplies!! Unless you're buying in bulk from someplace online, it's the way to go for non standard sized/ prints, etc! Thanks some more for solid info!!

[@shizyninjarocks]

Thank you, this was such a big help. I'm just starting to make my own prints and it's exciting. But I had so many questions! This will get me started.

[@cmonz9]

a genuine guy, a concise video. nice work!

[@bethsprague5031]

Seriously one of the most informative and useful art videos/tutorials out here!!! 💕💕

[@PixelChomp]

Thank you for sharing the process. I randomly saw the thumbnail and title and it was exactly the info I needed. I also use the same printer!

[@lennylopez6539]

Love your work trav I’m actually looking into selling prints too and your a motivator !!!

[@adrianramos137]

How do you decide to price your art, especially for someone who is just starting out? And do you or would you sell the original and how would you price that?

[@SketchyTrav]

Adrian Ramos since all the work was created digitally, I don’t sell an original. I priced my work based on what I saw other prints like mine were selling for. But I would say the greater factor in selling art is find a market that wants your niche art. My comic art prints and my trailblazer prints sell a thousand times better than my original concepts.

That Lobo/Harley is awesome!! And the info is super useful, well done!! I have a ton of really nice paper(Legion Moab Entrada< actual 100%rag!!) and have been trying to figure out what I should do with it! I don't have a printer that wouldn't just waste it so I 'll either be listing it on ebay or Mercari or I'll just draw/paint on it. You have some beautiful work, man!!

[@NOKK72]

By far the most helpful video I've seen. Love the artwork too.

Awesome. 🤩 I loved every second of this video.

[@icywalrus4906]

Nice set up! Love that desk and monitor.

[@LelaShosh]

Thank you very much for your wonderful support and information. I would like to know, how do you copy art and transfer to your printer? I have been searching for a art printer, that's able to copy my art and print.

[@sonnycorbi1970]

I'll watch this a couple of times, Thank You

[@piggytsai2226]

Could you share how you turn rgb to cmyk when printing? It’s so so frustrating, thanks much

[@51629jbgemu]

Thank you so much this really helped and didn’t make me as discouraged as I was before watching.

[@tj7280]

Very good information, can you do a video further elaborating on the details of utilizing square space and steps you used to set up your store. also for larger print sizes and larger volume orders, what vendors you use cost estimates and the process, thanks

[@glyniskevan1696]

Very informative. I like your shipping solution. I am selling prints of watercolors and use a local printer shop as the images look much better from their scan than photos I take. I got an epson this winter and then returned it unsatisfied as it wasted so much of my time setting up and I didn't even like the results. But if I get a printer again I’ll get that cannon.

[@shaunah.creations9233]

Your artwork is cool. The prints turned out really well. I'm trying to learn the process for my new art business. Thank you for the information 😄

[@essammohmed7360]

Thanks for this video, what printer did you use to print these beautiful pictures, and what is its price

[@TrevorDuran3390]

What resolution do you use for printing? 300? 600?

[@timothydempsey9454]

Great video Trav. .. and terrific artwork. Two questions: you got a great deal on the printer , I'm seeing them new for about $350. Did youbgonfor used? Also would like to see specifics about packing... any protective sheets like glassine or kraft paper? Thank you for doing this.

[@johnparungao6844]

Awesome vid. I've been shopping around for a good large format printer to do prints at home and I've been trying to find other videos to see if the Canon Pixma Pro 100 is a good deal. I also like your packaging process. Thx for the info.

[@TelahMiddleton]

Thank you for this video! We purchased a canon-pro 200 after watching your video to print from home but have had problems with getting the exact look that we want. My husband is an artist and we draw and color through clip studio. I have been printing on 11 x 17 luster/satin photo paper but we think its too shinny. But I was afraid the matte would be to dull. Before we purchased the printer, we printed at office max on glossy cardstock which my husband prefers. The colors seem to pop more. His posters are normally 11 x 17, can you provide any information on how we could use the 13 x 19 canon paper and cut it down. For some reason Canon doesn't sell any 11 x 17 sizes!!! Thanks for any help you can provide

[@tipsqueak1812]

This review was exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you so much for making this video. Also, thank you for the shipping tip with the dollar tree boxes! I mainly print on 8.5 x 11 and smaller - and usually do around 50-60 prints in one go, sometimes more depending on demand. Do you think the ink will last a decent amount of time? Also, that mail in rebate is a steal.

[@sonicshadowfan245]

i have the same printer and its not connecting to my laptop how do I connect it to the computer its not letting me

[@MusbiFinance]

Thank you for the tips, how much does the printer cost and don't you use to put the design in a frame?

[@TheAmberla07]

[@dontstalkmyaccount3096]

I'm trying to start selling my own prints soon to get more money to spend on loved ones for Christmas. What I'm thinking of doing is making a wooden frame for the top and bottom that the purchaser can use to hang up prints more easily. But the only issue I'm having currently is trying to figure out how to find the right paper type. I conflicted between going for rolling it up or keeping it upright with a cardboard box to keep it safe. (Along with a plastic protective sheet with cute lil extra stuff to thank them for buying my art.) The kind of paper I'm going for is kind of like A1 blueback paper or maybe Red River Paper? The more cheaper alternative is getting cardstock paper from Walmart. What do you suggest for someone who doesn't have a lot of money?

[@nublex]

what a nice guy, reminds me of edward norton

[@Tiber234]

!! Just viewed his vid - EXACTLY what I was thinking

[@janejohnson5488]

when you package the print in the plastic sleeve, do you put a cardboard instide on the backside of the print for added security or just the print in the plastic sleeve?

[@TheStraycat24]

Thank you so much for this video ! I wasn't sure about printing myself my art at home but now I have no doubt, I need a better printer to do it myself ! ^^

[@zerotwotwozero6487]

where do you get the protective sheet and the packaging?

[@guobettyful]

Thank you very much for all the useful information! I used to post prints via tube, but I have to roll 300gms paper which is really difficult sometimes, now I might consider the flat package. Just wondering do you ever had the issue that the post has been bent during posting? I once got my purchase thrown over garden fens by delivery people ( I bought a ceramics a China kettle, it miraclly survived), so I kinda scared that the flat package might not be able to protect the prints.

[@michellegonzalez127]

Use backing board i actually ise a foam board on boths sides of my art so they don't bend it

[@sanjaydeshpande5695]

Hi Trav, thanks for that excellent video. I had been looking for info on how to get into selling prints of my acrylic, charcoal, pencil work. One question, though - how do you sign your prints? I have read that one should sign in pencil as inks might fade over time. What is your take on this?

[@zoephillips2764]

thank you! what plastic do you use to cover your prints for packaging??

[@7pal101]

Thank you for all the info. From your prints seem like you are very talented. Can that printer print on a canvas?

[@melodycmontgomery2978]

Ok-ok: great info! Question: This setup is perfect for someone who does everything digital. I create paintings and I want to reproduce my own prints up to about 18x24". Any suggestions as to how to resolve my scan issue? Bc other than pay someone else to scan them, I've got nothing lol... It would seem that I may just have to absorb that cost into reproduction costs but I would love to be able to scan my own... However... It would have to be a flat scanner as I paint on canvas that is typically 5/8" thick. Any ideas? :) Thanks!!

[@cliffdariff74]

Wanting to print from digital drawings, that is, drawings on iPad via pencil and charcoal app tools. I’m thinking luster or gloss would not look good, because that paper is more for a photo and poster look.

[@facehunter504]

Thanks for the helpful info.. what kinda paper would be best for alcohol markers? I’m trying to pull work offline to print. Just don’t know what paper would work

[@jmadsenphoto]

I use the canon premium Matte for my photography and LOVE it! Great color reproduction. Would you happen to know if it is archival? I can't find any info on it.

[@trayvon9003]

do you get a good enough of sales each week that is worth you spending time creaing the pic ?? 🤔

[@zaynn0]

Is there a kind of paper like this but at a cheaper price?

[@riddlr6358]

Great info! Questioin for you. I've heard for prints it's best to have it on CMYK mode. I see that you have it on RGB mode. Which is what I use as well...when I try to switch it over to CMYK it loses some of it's vibrancyy and luster? Do you have any issues like that?

did you need to install any printing software / plugins for photoshop? so far, i haven't been able to achieve good quality prints directly out of photoshop. I've gotten decent results using their canon "easy-photoprint EX" software but it's a nightmare of a program to use (it runs super slow)

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to use this printer to get the best possible result.

Thanks in adavance. Cheers!

[@LazyTrumpetSolo]

So if the print comes as a 13x19", do customers have to find frames to fit that, or cut your artwork to fit an 11x17, which seems like the original artboard size.? I'm always hesitant to leave some of the cropping up to the customer, especially when the artwork is reaching that 11x17 boundary. Is that even something you worry about once it's out the door? Or is that kind of like a.. well now the ball's in your court kind of idealogy. Just asking because I really like the size of 11x17, and this is the first video I've found from a designer that kind of delivers with some bleed, and leaves some artistic choices up to the consumer. Also, I'm guessing the paper size dictates some of these decisions. But, you prolly get what Im sayin'. I like the give and take that you provide, for sure.. just curious if some artists would struggle with that leeway.
