What is printable art? (Cards, Planners, etc.)
Printable art is high-resolution art that you can print at home, or through a printing service. Printable art is affordable art, and a great way to update your space seasonally. Printable art also makes for great gifts.
What are digital products?
Digital products are products that exist in digital form. They are typically files that you download, and open/use, with the recommended software. Digital products are not physical products. All of my printable products are digital products.
What are TEmplates?
Templates are digital products/files that you can alter or modify in the recommended software.
What are the steps for buying/printing printable art and other digital products?
- Please note that my printable art, and digital products, come as a digital file. You will not receive a physical print, card, envelope, product etc. by mail.
what are the recommended software programs?
Most of my products are available in zipped folders – for example FileName.zip. I recommend that you use a computer to access them. When you click on the product download link, your computer should download the .zip file and save it to your computer. To unzip the .zip file and access your products: find the .zip file, right click on it, then select extract all. Mac users can double click the .zip file and the unzipped items will appear in the same folder as the .zip file.
Some products do not come in zipped folders. If this is the case, click on the product link provided and your computer will ask you what program you want to open the file in. If your computer opens the product file in your web browser, make sure to save a copy of the product to your device.
Following are program recommendations/suggestions. Depending on your computer, you may be able to open some files in a web browser or with a different program than is recommended/suggested.
Printing Tips
- All of my printable work (unless specified otherwise) will fit/print on a standard 8.5×11 sheet of paper.
(For larger formats, you can choose the “scale to fit media” setting if you want the print to fit on one sheet of paper.) - For the best results make sure you select the highest quality setting on your printer and use photographic paper for any photography work. Light-weight card stock can be used for greeting cards and gift tags.
- Printed colors may appear slightly different from the colors on your screen. Colors may also vary from printer to printer. Try switching between matte or glossy paper if you are unhappy with the results.
- If colors seem to be missing on screen for pdfs, check the settings in your pdf reader. In Adobe Acrobat: navigate to Acrobat’s Preferences from Edit > Preferences > Accessibility and check if the checkbox ‘Replace Document colors’ is On or Off. This and changing the background color by going to Tools > Pages > Background should fix any problems.
- Some files may include crop marks at the corners. These are for you to use as cutting guides and are usually on pieces without borders.
- Select portrait or landscape mode depending on your piece and be sure to choose the “print actual size” option.
- You may also send or bring your files to a printing shop.
Cutting Tips
- Most products do not require any cutting.
- All of my files come with crop marks when necessary. (If they do need cutting.)
- Simply use a pair of scissors, ruler and craft knife, or a paper cutter to cut your item to size.
