I subscribed because I have an idea.. and your channel keeps my idea alive. I want to become an artist and produce my own art through print. I’m at the beginning of the journey; we all start somewhere. Anyway thanks 😊

[@PrintAdventures]

This set of videos helped me decide to get my pro-4100. Thanks for making these.

[@charlessweeney2061]

Your work is truly amazing! You are a very talented young woman. I would go with the thinner quick-drying canvas. It's still a high-quality medium. Also bearing in mind most prints will be viewed behind glass from ten feet away. I think both prints are of equal quality.

[@leagueleaders]

I'm so glad you shared this video. That print came out amazing!

[@kathleenhutter4412]

I am so excited for you!! Looks like it came out super amazing! That's so fantastic!! Yay!!!

[@lovedom_]

I got hype with you! That looks bomb! Thank you for sharing💕💕💕💕

[@laurafinocchiarostudios]

This made me so happy for you!!!! So inspiring, that print is incredible!!

[@anchesenamonsims5356]

Thanks! And I love your art!!!😍

[@Emmanuella_Igwebuike]

I have never in my life seen prints look this vibrant!!!....so beautiful.

[@rolfhogfeldt7645]

I watched both your videos back to back, the printer setup and this. I'm EXHAUSTED!!! And I'm also envious, but in a good way. I've been sending out my prints for years so I can appreciate everything you've gone through. I love your work ethic and determination to do it right. Ever print you send out the door to a first time customer is "you". There's the old saying and I'm sure you've heard it and it's absolutely true. ...You never get a second chance to make a first impression...", so that first impression had better be the best. Great work and great videos. Judging by your attitude, you're the right person for the job!!! Much success and Thanks for sharing 👍😉

[@ponjita22]

Congrats!! It was fun to watch your videos, helps me decide what to buy and what not to buy. Feeling excited 🤩

[@saja.]

You sharing your journey with all the details and tips are invaluable, thank you. You have saved a lot of time, money and nerves to all of us. Thank you! Your Art with the crazy vivid colours looks delicious. You'r a dope! Greetings from Stockholm, Saja

[@califmike2003]

WOW looks like a painting, excellent quality.

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

For the quality, the 48 hr canvas drying time is absolutely my pick! Thanks so much for sharing these issues with us. It's helping me a lot in planning my studio in my next home. Lotsa love from Louisiana!

[@mckenziekvalsten]

This was so informative! Thank you for all the comparisons with paper and canvas etc. Really helpful when looking for printers and making those decisions

[@ChrisSmithson]

I got a pro 1000 printer recently and started printing fine art, and same reaction - colours look so vibrant and fine!

[@SametraKnight777]

That texture blew me away. You are amazing young lady.

[@yestovanilla]

You are so clever and talented.those prints are amazing and your art👍💜

[@AmazingArtisticSpidey]

Awesome!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@ixamedia6572]

Huge step UP! To find the right paper (canvas) Great to feel your excitement! Thank you! Oh, and, I would wait the 48hrs!

[@WARL0CK]

Thank you for the video! Interested in digital painting and printing on canvas with the same printer and this was a great demo to show its capabilities! Awesome art prints as well! Well done!!!

[@eyesoffreedom8378]

Subscribed! I love your work and I’m finally starting the journey to take my art work farther!

[@sweetma4life]

I SWEAR I CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 KEEP EM COMING!!!!!!!!! LOVED IT!

[@hannale2869]

aww love your reaction

[@elsakuan8411]

Thanks for hard work!

[@johnsinfield9668]

Great video, you work hard on these! Really appreciated...

[@Aldatremains310]

Thank you for this video. I wanted to get into printing on canvas and this helped so much

[@j.s8615]

Wow thank you so much! I'm a photographer and was looking for channels about printing and daily vlogs and such and couldn't find any, and while you aren't printing photos i feel like it's more or less the same process. I loved seeing the trial and error, and i don't think i would have ever thought to look at canvas for my prints, but this print quality is unreal!! I'm really loving your videos, best of luck with everything

[@latoyarorie875]

I'm so happy for you. Congratulations. Gosh, I can't wait to get mine. And I think canvas is a better option also...it's much stronger than paper. Again, congrats girl.

[@ncalex10]

This was awesome! 😊 You are really inspiring. Im learning that nothing is a fail, just a lesson learned. This was one of the best insider tips I've seen. Beautiful. I think the Epson showed slightly brighter/richer in color on camera, but the Premier paper is definitely a close contender. You will still sell prints with Premier. Great quality art makes it worth it!

[@billr.2210]

I'm really enjoying your videos. Thank you.

[@mabsel9447]

I’ve learned so much watching your vids, thank you

[@josephkingston9252]

You are so vibrantly talented, thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are a good speaker, had such a calm relaxing decorum with your presentation , I'm so proud of you, the picture speaks of your talent, so glad I found you on youtube.

[@tonybon4740]

Love your work

[@NorthwestNicholas]

Thanks for making this video. I’ve been thinking about getting a large format printer too - I’d love to see what other materials/types of paper your printer can print on!

[@elizabethandiosa4579]

Gorgeous. Keep up the great work. I want a printer like that now. 😊 Love the art.

[@kahlanharris-pont3984]

Ngl I teared up when you printed on the canvas paper🥺 Happy for you!!!

[@roycefaggotter6860]

The USA to Canada, I am watching this from Australia, you have a great channel here, keep up the excellent work, and your artwork is fantastic, I am a photographer, and my wife is learning to draw, and has also started painting, you have given me much inspiration, to get stuck into this way more.

[@kaleaclark]

This is so weird but I LOVE your voice! Also thats awesome papers can make and break art prints!

[@timothyclark3624]

Amazing. Great. Thank You!!

[@MS-iu3co]

Just Amazing...

[@donatfairs204]

Wow. That canvas print is beautiful.

[@Life_Weekend]

your art is amazing.

[@BKFloralDelight]

Your art prints looks soooo good canvas prints!

[@officeworxgroup8049]

Wow that's incredible video i have learned a lot. i just bought Canon TM-300 so i was wondering if it will print on a canvas. so today i went to buy a sample to test if it can print on a Canvas then BOOM!! You explained it all, thank you so much. Is it possible to share those images so that i can test on my printer?

[@CrazyCoolArt615]

Thank you for this

[@RudyPanorama]

I bought a Canon Pro2000 about a year ago. I print on Canvas almost exclusively. I had technical issues with the first machine and had to return it. It made me printerless for 6 extra weeks. However, since I got it going, I am very happy with it. Seems to be reliable. That is my biggest hope. I want it to be problem free for the first 4 years..or at least 3. We shall see...

[@m77ast]

Dont sweat that old print. We use paper like that behind a frame. They look OK to the touch - but behind a frame - looks awesome.

[@Bgtrefjjd]

Sis please please leave a link for the canvas prints I’m lost find it anywhere! Would you make a video of just where you got your Canvas roll!

[@Candikanelane]

@t​

[@stevenidode]

I’m happy for you

[@owleyes71]

You need a rotary trimmer/rolling trimmer for canvas. The action of the lever style with canvas not only doesn't cut well but often pulls at the print which means your trims aren't going to be straight. Also - dude....those prints look amazing!!! I want that printer hahaha one day! I wouldn't mind the cure time, just make sure you mention that in your listings and I think people would be totally okay with it.

[@fearless4817]

as an artist i totally get it. and the paper is one i recently used and its epic

[@chrisp7544]

Thanks for the videos. What would these sale for? Have you figured out cost per print?

[@goldenstar9379]

You have come a long way little Sis .I have been watching you and learn a bit but forgot about you and now this .You’re blowing up .

[@mollymuzette5860]

Your videos are awesome! I'd suggest a rotary cutter. I sew and paint and use it for both. If you get a good one it will definetly slice thru canvas. You will also need a cutting mat and a straight edge.

[@Mfalconer]

Thanks! And yes! I found a rotary cutter that rolls on it's own rail and surface. I just bought it so can't wait to show y'all in the next video!

[@alonzofineart2428]

Love your work. What is the file type that you save for best print results?

[@CrazyCoolArt615]

It looks fantastic 🙌🙌 I’ve been trying to figure out how to get prints made of my work 🤦🏻‍♀️ I am so overwhelmed

[@donatfairs204]

Really well made vlog. Your doing a great job at taking the viewer through your experience. It's to bad about the trimmer. Maybe keep for paper prints, and then get a cutter made just for canvas and really heavy types of media stock.

[@msgospeljessicanobles2528]

You're so amazing. May God bless!

[@renajuanita8747]

I saw another artist that prints on Canvas and recommended the Rotatrim Professional series, because it slices across with a wheel like a quilters cutting rotary tool, that way it doesn't crunch it. Just repeating because I haven't done it myself, but fyi! hope it helps, love your videos and art, thank you for sharing:)

[@Mfalconer]

Yes! I discovered it recently and just bought one last week! Can't wait to show y'all.

[@astropgn]

I know it has been a long time since you uploaded this video, but did you tried the cutter again? When I used cutters (and it was to cut metal), I learned that I had to force it in my direction, and not just push down. That way the blade goes really close to the base and it makes the cut. If it leaves a small gap, it didn't cut properly.

[@philipthao8527]

I prefer the premier art paper look.

[@jamesl.223]

Hey, I bought the canon pro 4000 last year when I was in vegas, covid brought my ass back to Canada BUT I did want to share that I tried almost EVERY paper out there and the best results I had was from Red River Paper, the prices are really good but the quality blows away any of the Epson or other "printer" brand papers. They also are made in USA which means it is duty free!! So while I havent yet ordered paper to be shipped here and dealt with border issues I think for the $100 you should do yourself a favour and try out a roll (oh btw I personally use Polar Matte 60lb I thought matte would be boring but the colours were so good on it that it became my fave paper instantly) anyway great vids sorry about the unsolicited advice lol.

[@EllieHansonNTD]

I personally prefer matte finishes on all art because you don't get light glare when looking at them on the wall or photographing images in a room setting. I really appreciate you sharing this info on matte paper. Thank you!

[@ankitaagrrawal1009]

This was great advice. Thankyou so much. Have you tried the Palo Duro Smooth Rag 310 Paper from Red River. Would love to know your review on that. Also, do you have any idea about some UK Brands with same quality?

[@southernfriedhackers6475]

I'd love to have a printer update video, like has it paid for itself, how often are you using it, have you found other ways to make money with it like printing for other people etc.

[@NakeeeyTri]

I can't seem to find where you mention what particular Epson paper you used. That one looked nicer than the Premier Art Paper. Thanks in advance. Awesome content

[@ladygypsysoul122]

Love your video. Can I ask how much is your canon printer?

[@wilsonsantos384]

Always you need to wait to dry the according with the recommendation of the paper. If I have to wait for 48 hours for a beautiful paper and give me what I want, why not .

[@76kid]

Great insight Melissa, and brill that you have found a quality paper to use for your art work going forward. Would be great if you could include the details of the products you try/use with links in the video description (if possible). Would you mind, sharing with me the product details of the Premier Art canvas paper you use here as I'd like to give it whirl also? When you send these out in a shipping tube, do you know if the canvas falls on itself and potentially crease or is it strong and rigid enough to withstand that? Congrats on your continued success! Benji

[@DMGFXink]

Just bought the 2600 and I should’ve done unboxing tho but thanks for all the info bc without watching your videos I was about to purchase an epson but question is are you still using the premiere canvas paper

[@sincerelysandi]

This is very nice. Do you create/draw your own prints?

[@lgm9324]

Just a recommendation: test with a smaller size (non-roll) ... like the one you did your first printhead calibrations on. Some companies offer sample kits with many different paper types, and some are even labeled on the back so you can easily identify the ones you like, and you won't be stuck with yards of print media you don't want to use.

[@apologeticswithvladimir]

great video, thank you

[@darthjar9117]

Word of advice, the more you use your printer the longer the printhead will last. Letting the printer sit will allow ink to dry in the print nozzles thus shortening the life of the printhead.

[@m77ast]

Pantone colors darling - your printer software will have the settings for each paper. Your printer seller should be there for at least a day teaching you all that good stuff.

[@CryptomeNL]

Good choice of media for your art! Few tips to you’re workflow. - don’t touch the paper with you’re bare hands, oil on you’re hands decrease the lifespan. - leave the printer on, the printer knows how long it is not in use. - use the ICC profiles from the manufacturer, for best result. - set-up the media according to the manufacturer advice. - use a roll-cutter for best results

[@BKFloralDelight]

I don't know this will help but it might work !if you didn't returned the cutter yet, Try it with paper masking tape!, cover with a masking tape on the cutting line (where you want to cut), so basically the blade is cutting the paper tape and canvas together. It worked with some other materials

[@MakeMeFancyClothing]

I prefer the Epson but this also depends on how fast you want to ship things out. Compared to what you had before even the premier art is still a win. Can you share where you bought the canvas please? I’m in the GTA

[@PharisOne]

Can you drop a link to where we can get the premiere paper. Thanks

[@ankitaagrrawal1009]

Hi. Could you please tell me how you scan/ photograph your original artworks for making prints

[@MindMotivation67]

Please share the name of company that you bought canvas paper in Canada

[@simplyfilms3153]

Wait, you went upstairs with that printer. That’s some muscle. Prints looks amazing.

[@ChrisKSP]

Can you link to where you purchased the canvas you prefered?

[@JoeyNotJoseph]

I feel the happiness

[@SPC-tl4iu]

do you think these papers support medium mix (acrylic, oil, etc,),,??

[@goldenstar9379]

So you’re print on canvas ? That’s a next level.Bery good

[@bambinoesu]

very helpful

[@alokgh8076]

Thank you

[@carlb401]

To me the epson canvas the colours were more saturated and the overall image looked sharper than the premier canvas. Personally 48hrs is nothing, i would just state in your terms that printing/ packaging is 3 days before the print is actually shipped. If i was buying a print from someone i would expect a minimum of 7 days for it to arrive anyway.

[@guill1234downey]

Can you share the brand and style of canvas paper you like? I just ordered my canon wide format and am excited to print on canvas and other media. Someone commented on your voice, and yes it's daam beautiful like your art.

[@sl2608]

I checked out your website -- your prints are beautiful! Are they photographs?

[@ChrisKSP]

I'm the 1000'th like. woot. Is there ways to refill the ink that's quality but not so expensive as Canon?

[@Neil-Aspinall]

(New to large format printing) Canon Pro 4100 : OK I downloaded the Hahnemühle ICC profiles I need and set one for printing. The part I don't understand is, I can not see the Hahnemühle paper type in the paper list? How does this work, do I need to also download paper types from somewhere or?

[@mgportraits]

Hello, i was wondering how is it going with your printer since its been almost 1-1/2 years since you got it. Has the nozzles been clogging? just curious since I have that issue with my Epson Printer.

[@charlesestrada4164]

Genuine beauty

[@nickiawalker645]

Girll need more detail on the paper... do you have links?

[@Neil-Aspinall]

So are stretching the canvas onto a wooden frame or mounting it just like paper? What was the exact name of the canvas?

[@gabiberta9068]

Hi, I have a question about this printer. Can you print on Vinyl as well? Making stickers? Thanks

[@neillewis6399]

Did you profile your paper?

[@markgrantham6829]

Just love her voice

[@kaykay-ny2mv]

Where did u purchase the papers from?
