    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

      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.

    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 🫶🏼

    @sweetvanilla4u 6 месяцев назад +2

    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.

    • @fructusillustrations
      @fructusillustrations  Месяц назад

      It might not be a setting issue but it could be that the paper is too thick. Sometimes that can happen so maybe try a different paper weight:)

    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:)

    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
      @fructusillustrations  Год назад +1

      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 Год 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!?
