I would love it if you made a video about how to price your work. Like considering the cost of supplies, ink, paper, etc and shipping plus the cost of the art itself. Is it how long it took you to make the art, or do you just pick a price that feels right? Do you make a list of costs per item plus add a profit of course. I would love to know how you calculate it all.

@fructusillustrations 11 месяцев назад

I'm not sure if I'll make a full video about this but I'll try to include a little bit of the process of it in a future video!

@KeightKrafts 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing how you formatted your canvas in Procreate. I liked that you gave an alternative for printing in Canva. This helps out huge! Have an amazing week!

@fructusillustrations 11 месяцев назад

Of course! glad this was helpful and you too have an amazing week ahead of you! ♥

@acarmlife 10 месяцев назад

This was so useful thank you!! I have the same printer and have never got quality prints like that from it, and was very close to giving up on it! I think I definitely need to go back to it and do some more testing, and getting some good quality paper seems to also make a big difference.

Where you got your Epson printer?

@konekoshu 11 месяцев назад

I wish this helped me out but i dont even got any of these settings for my epson and we got the same printer.. xD

SAME!

@vulpipunkgaming 11 месяцев назад

The universe knew. I have been doing my own paper testing recently & it is neat to see your process as well. Epson just has amazing papers! I fell in love with the Premium matte paper myself. Thanks for all the great videos!💖

@abigailgerber9333 11 месяцев назад

Hi Jen, I recenly got the Epson Eco Tank 2850. I was hoping you could help me figure out how to get the correct print settings. I have a mac but I'm not sure what driver to install to be able to change the color modes like the saturation and CMYK. Would you be able to share the link to the one you use?

@simplymade7912 8 месяцев назад

Hello! Did you manage to get correct print settings? My colors are also off... And I can't seem to find the premium paper matte on my printer

@fredrikrohlen9314 6 месяцев назад

Add the printer again. Go to System settings -> Printer and scanners. Add new printer and select your printer from the list. Instead of using the Epson installation process.

@sweetvanilla4u 3 месяца назад

Epson printers are some of the best high quality printers for at home, however one of their "flaws" is that to achieve some of the best quality you want to use their own paper brand. Which is why the Hahnemühle paper (which is used by many professional companies) essentially failed.

@FloriFama 4 месяца назад

thank you SO much for this video. I'm currently in the process of getting a printer to be able to add prints and stickers to my shop and it's so hard to find helpful videos where they show side by side comparing different kinds of paper and different color palettes. Thank you again for doing this.

@WhereisMyBlueCrayon 11 месяцев назад

Nice video, thank you for sharing. Do you seal your prints? And how do you seal them?

@PegzieBean 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate how open and honest you are. I've just started wanting to make prints and didn't know where to start - this is perfect timing and really inspirational!

@fructusillustrations 11 месяцев назад

I'm so glad! These things can be a little tricky and scary so I wish you the best!

@gothicgorey 8 месяцев назад

I have been looking at this printer but it concerns me it’s not pigment inks for longevity of art prints. How do you find it ?

@amyprofitspecialist 11 месяцев назад

I've always been curious about the paper options for printing digital art, and your detailed process was super informative.

@jillybeangamergirl 23 дня назад

Do you have any advice why the print might be coming out grainy? I have the same printer, same drawing software and drew my art in the specific specs. What could I be doing wrong? Thank you!

@brookehardy7851 21 час назад

Thankyou so much for your video i am looking into starting to sell my art as prints. Do you sell them as just the paper? Or laminate them? Or frame them? What would you recommend ❤ i own a laminator so this is an option i can go with im just not sure what would sell more ❤

@Angelacreatesart 10 месяцев назад

Auto desk sketchbook is also a great option for digital art

@emilytenney8651 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing this! It is very helpful! I have a question for you: do you use any special ink? Or just what comes with your printer?

@fructusillustrations 11 месяцев назад

I just use the ink that comes with the printer! No special ink and it lasts for a very long time :)

@harrietharvey09 2 месяца назад

Thank you for the video! Can I ask why you choose to put your art into word or canva first? Is it solely so you can print on one page? Because if so, isn’t it possible to do this via the print menu?

@doodle_alchemy 3 месяца назад

Hello...thank you for this! Do sticker prints or art prints on glossy paper fade after some time with these inks?

@miashellhammer9377 10 месяцев назад

@julia_ulferts_illustrations 10 месяцев назад

Thank you immensely for sharing your knowledge!! I've recently started making prints again and was wondering about which paper to use, so this was extremely helpful. I've also noticed I've got the excact same printer as you. I was wondering - did you ever have the problem that your prints were perfectly fine one day and then a couple of days later they are suddenly very pale even though you didn't make any changes, your cartridges are nearly full and you did a couple of print head cleanings. I just can't figure out why my prints are much paler now than when I created prints about a week ago. Thank you so much:)

@Alienprotein 9 месяцев назад

Hi! Your videos are always so useful and cozy ❤❤❤ I just want to ask you a question! I have the same printer and I'm not able to print on thicker papers T^T I've been trying so hard changing the settings and hand feeding the paper... Could you show or explain how do you print on thick papers like these on your printer? TYS!!

@happippl 5 месяцев назад

Wow, this is so valuable - thanks a million! I have the et 2750 but mine sucks. It prints scratchy and patchy. I’m looking at other printers rn, but will try your settings and paper to see if it can be salvaged! I know paper quality plays a major role, but so does printing settings. I have the epson premium Matt photo paper too, but my colors never come out right. Regardless, this was so helpful, thanks again 🫶🏼

How is the ink quality? Have you noticed any fading due to light exposure or bleeding due to moisture on your prints? Is the ink waterproof once applied?

@nithyachandra4222 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video, I’ve been patiently (not so patiently) waiting for this since you mentioned about making it a couple of videos ago haha So are these same settings you use for stickers too?? I use online labels weatherproof matte and sometimes their weatherproof gloss… I’ve been debating about the epson eco tank for my stickers ..

@fructusillustrations 11 месяцев назад

The settings are almost exactly the same. For stickers, I change the media type only on my computer in the systems dialogue window. Everything else is the same. I also use online labels sticker paper but I only use the matte paper. I've tried glossy paper before but I didn't like the feel of them so I've stuck to matte and I just laminate them. I like the eco tank because it's very reliable and gives me quality prints. It's also really good on using ink.

@nithyachandra4222 11 месяцев назад

@@fructusillustrations I agree I don’t like the feel of online labels glossy paper, I use matte with Avery laminating sheets .. for printer I have canon TS8220 which drinks ink like crazy and also use HP envy with their ink program but it cannot print on thick paper or cardstock because there’s no rear feed, looks like eco tank can print on cardstock!?

Sorry this is late, if you are in the US I recommend Fireball Printing! They are based in Philadelphia and cater to artists specifically. They even host art fairs! I have worked with them professionally at my old job and they are amazing.
