Frequently asked questions
DIY Printing I
Photo printers or high quality color printers work best. However, I tested prints on a variety of consumer document printers and found one of the inexpensive printers did a decent job and a higher priced document printer did not. Some home document printers will print vertical lines on your image or more subtle squares or rectangles (and there is nothing you can do about it other than try a different printer). These vertical lines and squares are not part of the original images, so please test print on lower quality paper first.
Always check the image in print preview and it’s also a good idea to test print a fast draft in black and white to make sure there are no margin settings that might be off.
And make sure none of the ink is low.
DIY Printing II
If your printer prints a variety of paper sizes, make sure you set it up for your desired paper size. In most cases, you will print on 8.5” x 11” paper and use a ruler and craft knife to trim the picture to size. An image file with trim guidelines (thin gray line around the image) will be included for 8" x 10"images with borders and images with floating shapes, like a circular image, or on a white background. Images without borders or a white background should be trimmed to the edge of the printed image.
IMPORTANT TIP: In Print Setup, make sure “print actual size” or “print at 100%” are checked and “fit to page” is unchecked.
DIY Printing III - Set Image Size
Even though your paper is 8 .5” X 11” on many printers you will still need to select the image size from given options. If the image is 8” X 10” and you wish to print larger or smaller, choose an option offered within the appropriate aspect ratio (aspect ratios are in the image titles and explained at the bottom of this document). Please note that image quality can be compromised if blown up too big, so preview the image in the larger size first.
DIY Printing IV
IMPORTANT TIP: Under Print Setup or Printer Properties, change the paper type in the drop down menu to match (or closely match) the paper you are using and change the print quality settings to the highest quality available.
If the paper type is not reset, you could have paper feed problems. If print quality is not reset to the highest quality, you will not be printing the best version of the image.
DIY Printing V - Paper
Heavyweight matte photo paper, fine art paper, ultra premium presentation paper (matte) or a good quality heavy white premium card stock is recommended. Glossy papers and glossy or lightweight photo papers (the kind used for snapshots) are not recommended.
Make sure to reset the paper type in your printer so it feeds properly.
Ultra Premium Matte Paper from Epson works well for me (though what I tried was a bit creamy, not bright white) as well as the Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper Textured Matte, again not a bright white, both purchased on Amazon. I haven’t tried it, but many people like the heavyweight matte photo paper from Staples.
Sending Your File Out to be Printed
This is easy! Download your Jpg. file from Etsy after purchase, save it on your desktop or wherever on your computer and then upload it to an online printer. For reasonably priced printing and framing, I like Framebridge.com.
Or if you just want it printed so you can frame it yourself, try Finerworks (fine art paper prints) or Shutterfly (cardstock art prints).
I don't recommend drugstore of big box store photo prints, the color could be off.
Presently, I don't offer printng services.
