The smashing caught me off guard 😂😂😂 but thank you for all the recommendations!
Any time! 😈
1. Have your gold foiled Miyazaki prints hanging in my living room. 2. As a artist myself following all your RUclips vids, the information you're dropping is amazingly helpful. Thanks Dustin. 🤘
Breaking the Canon Pro-100... I felt that in my soul. I spend more time fixing the printer's issues every month than anything else I do in my art business. 😭
It honestly was one of my main sources of stress before replacing it
wow this is just chalk FULL of memes, god bless you dustin
It’s the way I tell people I don’t have a personality
Bro, office space + berserk references, and I'm learning practical knowledge at the same time? I think i love you. Sub earned.
These videos have been so informative! Even as someone who has been doing conventions for a while, I’m learning new things! Thank you for sharing :) Looking forward to watching more videos from you :D
Ahhh so happy to hear, thank you!
GOD thank you, I did not know this about their foil and I was planning on doing the foil with them!
Another one saved!
I wonder if con season is crunching CatPrint's queue. The foil detail on your prints really make the artwork pop! I'm glad youtube's algorithm recommended your channel, your style is so elegant and lovely and I will be following you on every social media.
For any other artist alley folks interested in printers reading this, my personal recommendation for printer is the Epson Ecotank. The one I currently use is the ET 7750 which has been discontinued but they have lines of both home and professional printers. Great quality and the ink comes in little bottles of liquid that you just pour into the printer tanks so you don't need to mess around with cartridges.
Loving these "behind the scenes" videos. They do a great job of breaking down the realities of being a working artist and running your own business.
Also, thank you for the note on the Canon printer. I was considering that exact one for myself if my next show did particularly well, but definitely reconsidering that option now.
I just stumbled onto your channel and I am floored by how amazing your art is! Currently binge watching all of your videos. Amazing. Thank you for sharing all this information and your beautiful art!
Fantastic video that any artist from beginner to expert would appreciate. I still use Catprint as I primarily sell 12x18 prints without the fancy stuff.
Totally didn’t hear a word you said about large format printing because RIP dead plant 🙏 ❤😂
For real though, thank you for sharing! I would love to see the next videos you have planned for other types of merch. It’s hard to even know where to start sometimes!
Absolutely love your art too- keep up the good work! 😊
Lol, the plant is doing much better now! And thank you
Can't wait for the next part!!!
Really thorough and helpful. Thank you!
your videos are so helpful! looking forward to part 2 :)
Thank you for making this video!
Professor Inkwell 😮💛
This is incredibly useful, thank you so much for making it.
Happy to help 😊
This is a great video. Thank you!
Great info! Great art! Great meme humor! Instant sub!
Just what I needed
Ah hahaha 🤣 I was that lurker on Sunday! Although I was asking about that clever contraption you've come up with for your backdrop. I'm so glad to see these vids! Super helpful, thanks for the tips!!
Thank you! The foil printing advice was great.
Also about moo, I used them for business cards never thought about printing artwork through them
thankyou for this video, I recently had a con and I could have really benefited from outsourcing print making. looking forawrd to more vids!
I've been having some good luck with WHCC for my fine art prints. Their "smooth matte" paper is considerably cheaper than the Hahnemuhle options in most shops (they do offer those too, among others) and it is still a good archival quality paper. Their quality overall has been fantastic, but have gotten the occasional scuffed print, but overall very happy.
They are QUICK as well, but stuff like gallery wraps can take considerably longer. No foil printing option though, so will be exploring some of the options you mentioned, thanks!
I have a local option that has somewhat similar if not cheaper rates, however, they have been hard to reach and they are much much slower. That being said, I still want to give them a proper try when I am not in a rush to give the small local guy a proper chance.
This is great - I've had my eye on some of these companies, but wanted to see who actually recommends them. Thank you!!
Freaking great video my dude! 🎉🎉🎉
Such a great video! ❤ so awesome for you to put together all this information for other artists! Even as someone who has been doing conventions for years now, I learned a few things :)
Also, i wanted to share this in case it is helpful to anyone. Etsy has setup with Moo - so anyone who pays for Etsy plus on their shop ($10 a month) - gets 30% of all their Moo orders. This has saved me thousands of dollars on Moo orders! So if you have an etsy shop or even think you might want one - i think that subscription more than pays for itself in the first order or two.
And I have recent experience with Vista vs Moo. I was making backing cards for my pins and wanted gold foil. I went with Vista because in my head they were just the cheaper option. They messed up my order three times in a row - as in the corrections they sent me for the messed up order kept being the same mistake over and over. (They kept putting silver foil instead of gold foil). Finally i got so frustrated I decided it was worth the extra money to just go with Moo and know they would be gorgeous. And then, once i had my whole order in the cart with my 30% etsy discount - it ended up being almost the exact same price as Vista - not more expensive at all! And as you might expect - they were so so so much nicer. Soft touch and everything.
You are a god send!!!! 🙌 I've been trying to find out printers or print shops that will do good quality, and i haven't even heard of half of these, and they are already much better options than what I've come across! Thank you! 😊
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Didn’t know you were chill like that
Thanks!🙂🙏🏻🌻
So I also fell for the Canon Pro-100 hype and shopped for one, only to find that they're no longer available. Pro-1000 was out of my price range at the time, so I went for the new Pro-200. Can't speak for everyone, but for me, it's been really nice. Beautiful print quality, never had a jam or any issue at all in the year I've been using it, and the blacks are SO solid. My only gripes are the tiny cartridges that don't last long, and the print quality is quite poor on the matte papers I've tried. It loves a good glossy paper or a very smooth semi-gloss though.
Great video, very informative. I'm UK-based, so I can't use some of these (or at least not without paying astronomical shipping prices), but there was a lot of useful info here none the less, thank you!
OMG just found your channel (watch the one on enamel pins) and about to binge watch. When you took that baseball bat to the printer, I was like “YESSS!!!” I have such a love hate relationship with printers (and not even for art).
Thanks for watching! 😊
so informative as always!!! i was dying when you were smashing that printer LMAO
It got what it deserved
Thank you for this video! I was considering the Epson 100 and now i'm not :-) You should be very happy about the options you have in the US. I'm living in printing hell here in Luxembourg.
I love love your art style and your videos, its very inspiring for me to try and grow my art business. Do you have any suggestions for what to do when motivation goes down the drain? I still have a full time job so thats something that i deal with frequently. I hope i can do art full time some day. Ty if you took the time to read this 😅
Having a full time job can make things very difficult for sure, I struggled with that balance for a long time, I would say do the type of work your super excited about, I see a lot of people doing work they think other are going to like but burn out will come a lot quicker from that, don’t be a Afraid to drop a project, as long as your inspired just focus on that and not the end result. At least that’s what helps me
you're an angel
I found this really helpful! Thanks for the tips. Can I ask what your favorite paper and coatings are? I was thinking about Catprint. Thanks!
The new Epson eco tank 8550 is super affordable with a high quality print.
As a photographer, I understand your pain with printing. Unfortunately, options for high quality prints for us are still extremely expensive for us so we are forced to do our own printing.
Oh my gosh, all those micro plastics in the graaaaaaaaaaass! 😂
New here . Love your channel
Great video! Wondering if you’ve tried INPrint, and what your thoughts are on them in comparison??
I’m so picky about quality too!! It’s why I got my own printer. I was so tired of outsourcing just for things to be too dark or dull. I actually tried catprint myself and was disappointed, I got prints with bent corners, spottiness, etc and a lot of people recommended them too. I think the pandemic overwhelmed them or something. It’s sad.
I actually have two canon pixmas but they’re not that model you had lol 😆 the only issue I’ve had is the printer head was clogged because I was recovering from burnout for months, but learned how to quickly clean that.
Do you have any recommendations for paper? Every artist recommends matte, but I hate matte paper after using semi gloss and glossy. I’ve noticed matte sucks up more ink and makes my prints way darker, glossy is usually the same and I don’t even have to convert it usually to cmyk and that’s another thing I hear debated. You don’t need to convert stuff to cmyk to print?
Ok giving Office Space energy. 😂
Maybe I’m showing my age but if you haven’t seen it highly recommend
Great video! Just wondering, do you always have the print companies send the prints to you, or have you used any print companies to print + drop ship your prints to customers?
I don’t do dropping shipping personally but I know many companies offer this option, it’s just much harder to get price breaks when your starting out with the print on demand model. And this harder to be competitive with your pricing
hello, do you draw in CMYK for your prints? they look so good. i have the Canon 100 and my prints don't come out bright when i draw in RGB. any help on your process would be great. ty
Hi, thanks for the recommendations, I was wondering if you know any good recommendations for countries outside US. I am located in Australia. I know Vista and Moo operates in here
“It caps out at 17in which is a really weird size”
It’s A2 size - the whole world except N. America uses this size 🙂
Love the humor in the info and format but as a headphones user the inserted sound randomly peaking and huge variation of volume is big stressful.
LOL 😭😭😂 1:48
I heard the printer scream!
Thank you for the super helpful video! I've seen it a while ago and came back hoping to find an answer to this, but what method would you recommend to ship larger prints (11x17) alongside smaller items like pins and charms? Would you ship the print separately or do a shipping tube + box combo. I'm scratching my head a bit on this one because I don't see many artists selling large prints online and if they do, they often use third party websites like INPRNT to handle it separately. Also, if you ever made a video on shipping tips and tricks, that would be awesome! Thanks in advance! ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡
came for the tips, stayed for the dead plant
Noooooooo 🫣
Its doing way better now!
I do not recommend Epson art printers at all, I have had 3 and every time wasted so many hours with so many issues plus the print quality is terrible compared to Canon!
That pretty general, what epson model of printer were you using?
@@Inkwell I actually don’t know the models number but it was a surecolor, it’s was years and years ago I’ve been professionally working as a artist for a long time. Maybe they have got better but I have such bad experiences with them in the past that I’ll just avoid them at all costs now! Had such good results and ease with Canon 🦋
The constant back-to-back memes and clips drove me nuts. Way too many for a video that's supposed to be informative. Sorry.
small addition on vistaprint, customer service in my experience has been very easy to work with as well if any issues with prints from there
