Print at Home and Frame it Yourself:

Printing your wall art at home is a convenient and cost-effective option, especially for smaller sizes. Follow this guide to achieve stunning results with your ready-to-print JPG files.

Choose the Right Printer

For the best results when printing wall art at home, an inkjet printer is your best bet. Inkjet printers are designed to handle high-quality photo prints with excellent color reproduction and detail. Here are a few recommended models:

These printers are known for their superior photo printing capabilities and will ensure your wall art looks professional and vibrant.

Select the Appropriate Paper

To achieve a high-quality print, the choice of paper is crucial. Here’s what you should look for:

Ensure to check the size (dimension) of the paper according to the digital file dimensions. Or you can print on a larger size paper and cut out the blank corners.

Prepare Your File

In our shop, you will receive ready-to-print JPG files, which are perfect for home printing. Here’s how to get your files print-ready:

  • Resolution: Ensure your files are at least 300 dpi (dots per inch) for sharp and clear prints. (our prints are always 300DPI Jpgs, or CMYK PDF, perfect for printing(+)
  • Size: Match the dimensions of your print with the paper size you are using. Common home printer sizes include 8.5×11 inches and 11×17 inches.

Print Settings

To ensure the best quality, adjust your printer settings:

  • Quality: Set your printer to the highest quality print setting available.
  • Paper Type: Select the correct paper type in the printer settings (e.g., matte, glossy, canvas). (if applicable)
  • Color Management: Ensure your printer is using the correct color profile to match the colors in your digital file.

Printing Process

Here’s how to print your wall art:

  1. Load Paper: Place your chosen paper into the printer’s paper tray, ensuring it’s aligned correctly.
  2. Print Command: Open your JPG file in a suitable program (like Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or even the default photo viewer), and select the print command.
  3. Check Settings: Double-check all print settings, including paper type and quality, before hitting print.
  4. Print: Execute the print command and wait for the print to complete.

Handling and Display

Once printed, handle your wall art with care:

2- Print at a Local Store:

If you prefer not to print your wall art at home or need larger sizes, visiting a local print store is a great option. Here’s how to go about it:

Prepare Your Files

  • Ensure your JPG files are ready to print and saved on a USB drive.
  • Check that your files are high-resolution (at least 300 dpi) for optimal printing quality.

Visit the Print Store

  • Take your USB drive containing the digital files to your local print store.
  • Look for a print shop that offers high-quality printing services, especially for art prints. for example, FedEx Office, The UPS Store, or Staples.

Discuss Your Preferences

  • Speak to the staff about your wall art project.
  • Specify the size, paper type, and any other preferences you have for your prints.

Print Order Placement

  • Hand over your USB drive to the staff and provide any additional instructions.
  • Confirm the quantity, size, and any other details before placing your order.

Review and Collect

  • Once your prints are ready, review them for quality and accuracy.
  • Pay for your order and collect your prints, ensuring they are handled carefully.

3- Professional Print-on-Demand Service: (RECOMMENDED)

Printing online offers the best and most convenient option, providing the highest quality prints without the hassle of shopping or going out. For larger prints, I recommend utilizing online print-on-demand services like VistaPrint or Staples for a seamless and efficient printing experience.

I suggest using Gelato for printing because it’s great for both businesses and personal use. They offer good prices, quick service, and their website is easy to use. So whether you need to print things for work or just for yourself, Gelato is a solid option to consider. (You’ll find step-by-step guide later in this section).
