Dude I have been looking for services that would print my art at actually good prices and you gave me the answer!! I love your creativity and originality btw!! Thank you!!

My gosh! This is one of the BEST RU-vid channels I've subscribed to! VERY informative, and full of energy and passion that's lacking in quite a lot of channels with this kind of subject matter.

Great videos, would it be possible in the future to make a video on where to get reasonably priced 11x17 scanners? Anything past 8.5x11 size causes the price to jump dramatically and was wondering if their are oversized scanners out there that don't cost a arm and a leg, thanks!

@ScottSerkland 6 лет назад

Thanks! I may have to do some more research on that, but my scanner has been acting up and I searched around for one and you're right they're are pretty pricey. I think our best bet is to find one second hand, on Craig's list or ebay or something.

@GazBot 7 лет назад

Good info and review of catprint, I still do the print shop thing for my 11x17 because its faster and cheaper, but and other sizes I have switched to catprint. Also, glad to see I'm not the only one who tried eating those foam things. :p

@ScottSerkland 7 лет назад

@jaynexpain 5 лет назад

Useful vid. Thinking about getting my work printed as some of my artwork would be really great printed. Also found some old comic book strips I started in my late teens before I lost a friend to cancer (he was a comic book artist). Now got all my art together and I have enough for my own exhibition but I kinda want to get prints done .

@ScottSerkland 5 лет назад

Thanks Rachael, CatPrint does a great job and the good thing is you can start with very small orders, so it's a good way to see how your art looks printed and who people react to it, before dropping a lot of cash on a big print run. Sorry to hear about your friend. I've lost friends and family way too early in life, all with so much potential.

Thanks! Personally I like the 100 lb Heavy Letter Paper with a matte or stain finish. It's about the thickness of a photograph. Some people like the cardstock but I prefer something heavy enough to convey quality and light enough where it can be rolled up if need be.

@ScottSerkland 4 года назад

Typically what traditional artist have done in the past is to either find a photographer who is experienced in photographing artwork or find a company that can scan large pieces of artwork. If you can get the right lighting you my be able to photograph it yourself but I might be best left to a professional.

Someone wanted to buy some work from me and I’ve never made art prints before. I actually don’t know much about selling them or where to start. Thanks for posting this video, because I’m not really looking to do at home printing. How can I make a print if I drew it on my iPad? I didn’t really expect to get it printed but rather just drawing it for fun.

@ScottSerkland 5 лет назад

Your welcome! glad you found the video helpful. I have the hardest time getting my artwork from my iPad to my PC, but assuming that isn't an issue for you. you first need to make sure your art is print quality 300 dpi or higher and that you can export it in CMYK mode as opposed to RGB. Cat print accepts a number of file formats but I usually save my files as JPGs.

@oldasa 5 лет назад

In What format do you send to Catprints your art. Also, I'm thinking a 300 ppi file would be adequate for your larger prints, right? Oh and thanks for all the advice.

@ScottSerkland 5 лет назад

I usually send them JPGs at 300 dpi, I wouldn’t go any lower. Sometimes if I have multiple files that I need the same number of prints from. I will combine the JPGs into a PDF file. It make the ordering process a bit easier.

Another question if you don't mind explaining how you actually get the original to be printed. Do you photograph a large piece and have it as a digital file compressed to send? I have a few 18 24 canvas paintings that I want printed off to actual size. Could you please explain how you figured this out?

@ScottSerkland 6 лет назад

Sure, so most of my work is either digital or 11" x17" original comic book art that I scan in on a large format printer. For what you are talking about you would have to photograph. Unfortunately I'm not very experienced with photographing artwork. you could attempt to do it yourself, I'm sure there are video online that will help with the kind of lighting and camera set up you need, or you may need to hire a professional photographer who specializes in shooting artwork.

@gamingchinchilla7323 3 года назад

You had an episode on mini comics some time back... I'm actually doing a bit of research on what sort of paper I should use for my mini comics and where I can send my material off for printing that may have that right sort of paper that I am wanting. what would you say would be the most cost effective stock that closely matches the same stock used for actual comic books? Maybe you could do an episode about that?

@ScottSerkland 3 года назад

Well there's not really a standard stock for comics, and what is most common also has to do with the time period for a long time comics used newsprint, then some started using Baxter paper. If your talking about mini comics They are mostly don on standard copy paper . A lot of modern comics use a glossy stock that I don't particularly car for. I wouldn't worry too much about what others are using and pick a paper that you feel is right for you and your comic.

@gamingchinchilla7323 3 года назад

@@ScottSerkland thanks for your input :) I have some old comics from the mid 90s and I find the paper stock they used back then to be rather attractive. Not so glossy on the pages, but thick enough and just right to show off the fine inking detail and digital coloring. and a semi glossy cover with heavier paper weight. According to a website I visited after posting my question to you the "accepted" paperweight and paper type for self published comics are matte 60 for interior pages and gloss 80 for the cover But as you've said here in your reply, paper stock really doesn't matter for self published mini comics. I think I'll experiment with the paper types and sees what works best with my template. Thanks again!

Hey Lucy, Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I used Heavy Letter Paper Matte. This is a bit thinner than most people like. I use to use Costco for my prints so I was trying to match the style and thickness of their Fuji photo paper as best I could. For my smaller prints I went with Heavy Card stock Matte. I wanted those to be a little thicker because its easier for people to flip through them at conventions. Hope that helps.

Honestly 20"x 30" is the largest I've ever printed so I don't know if I'm going to be much help to you, sorry. I'm not even sure if CatPrint can print that big.

Do you send in your artwork as PNG or PDF CYMK to catprint? I know they accept PNG according to their site but then the printing is no longer CMYK it would be RGB

@ScottSerkland 5 лет назад

I save my files as CMYK JPG files and then place them multiple page PDFs. So if I have three prints that I want 12 copies of I will place all three prints in a PDF and have them print 12 copies. If I have 2 other prints that I only need 2 copies I will place them in a PDF and have them make two copies. Hope that answers your question.

Serkworks Art labs, I tried to have Shutterfly print my digital art but they rejected it because of low resolution. How can I increase the resolution?

@ScottSerkland 5 лет назад

Unfortunately, if you start at a low resolution there really isn't a way to increase it. ( you can lower your resolution but you can't do the opposite.) 300 DPI and up is required for most printing. So need to start at 300 dpi and at the size you want to print when you first set up your file. I sometimes go larger just in case I decide later on I want to print something larger. The only exception to this rule is if you are doing vector art in a program like Adobe Illustrator, Vector art is all mathematical information and can be scaled up or down without any loss of quality.

can you show us how you did it in 3D?

@ScottSerkland 2 года назад

I actually have that on my list of videos, In the mean time this is the video I watched to learn how to do it, It uses photos not illustration but, the technique is the same. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mh5qiCvaS0o.html

What's the best paper to print on? I'm a bit overwhelmed by the choices.

@ScottSerkland 3 года назад

Personally I like the matte letter paper. But most people prefer a heavier stock. All the options are pretty good though.

I wonder how the shimmer looks under glass... if it even reads?

@ScottSerkland 4 года назад

Good question, I don't really know the answer. I haven't framed any of these print behind glass. I would imagine if you have two print framed one shimmer and one not side by side there would be a slight difference.

@alotoffun6867 5 лет назад

What cardstock is that?

@ScottSerkland 5 лет назад

for my larger prints I don't go with card stock in case it needs to be rolled up, for that I use Heavy Letter Paper Matte. For 8.5 X 11 or smaller I use Heavy Cardstock Matte.

@ScottSerkland 6 лет назад

Wow, really? That's pretty amazing, hopefully hes still able to earn a decent living charging 80's prices. I know a lot of illustrators who are still billing for what Illustrators made in the 80's.

Do you have a referral link for them?

@ScottSerkland 6 лет назад

Sure, you can find them at www.catprint.com/home

@maddywilson287 6 лет назад

I mean I know artists in the past that get $10 off a future purchase with their referral link and the person being referred also gets a $10 discount on a future purchase.

@ScottSerkland 6 лет назад

Oh, sorry Maddy, I have a few other affiliate programs set up, but I haven’t looked into what programs Cat Print offers. Cat Print did reach out to me and offered me a very nice discount on my next order after they saw this video. I do appreciate you asking though. Thanks.

@lucillefemine2339 4 года назад

Are they giclee quality?

@ScottSerkland 4 года назад

Unfortunately no. They are not archival. Which is really the only major drawback in my opinion. But I find most of the people I sell to don’t even know what that means and it’s not a deal breaker for them.

@riccrocc1979 4 года назад

Do you have to send in your actual artwork? or are you scanning your artwork and sending that way?

@ScottSerkland 4 года назад

I'm not sure if they accept physical art. Most of my prints are digital or at least finished up digitally even if they start off hand drawn. If your work is traditional I would think you would have to scan it of photograph it first.

i ordered from them and my prints were super dark and blurry :(

@ScottSerkland 4 года назад

Really. I would contact them back. I'm sure they will correct the issue. I've used them many times and many of my friends have used them and been completely satisfied. The only time I had an issue was once when they forgot to cut some prints down to a custom size, but they corrected the issue without a problem

Hi there. So if I wanted to send a painting I painting from online...Costco can take that painting I send by email and print it for me. Also can you tell me what they charged you for lets say a dozen of your largest paintings and also what would they charge for lets say a dozen card size paintings and would they put the card size order on a nice card paper.

@ScottSerkland 6 лет назад

Hi Deb, I was a little unsure about what you where asking. Did you want to know what Costco charges for these services or what Cat Print charges? I know Cat print can do all of these things and they have an instant quote generator on their site. As far as Costco goes I think I pay around $4 for a 12 X 19 print and I don't think the price decreases at a dozen. I don't now if they do any printing an cardstock. They may send that stuff out because I believe all of their in store printing is on standard photo paper.

@debbreau4310 6 лет назад

hey there...thanks for your prompted reply. I wanted to know for both.

@dsmathis82 6 лет назад

Are the prints archival?

@ScottSerkland 6 лет назад

Unfortunately no. For me it wasn't a big deal to switch from the archival photo prints I was getting at Costco to Cat Print. because I sell most of my work at comic conventions, where a lot of people are selling cheap colored copies. So the Cat Print prints were much higher quality and people were more concerned with the prints looking good and the paper stock than being archival. I don't think I've ever been asked about the archivability of a print at a con. However if you're are selling higher quality prints of fine art or something I can see where that would be important.

@oldasa 5 лет назад

Call me naive but, I was given that all inks used in Jet Printers are pigment not dyes thus are 100 year or more archive-able.

@amemoore 4 года назад

Whoa! How do you create something to be 3D?

@ScottSerkland 4 года назад

I really need to do a video on it. the short answer is that you need to create a red and blue layer for every separate item you want to pop out or have depth. and you offset the red and blue layers at different intervals depending on how much you want the effect to stand out.

I will, every time I wrap up an issue of my comic I make a special mini-comic version.
