How to Make Prints of Your Art (and Sell Them)
Want to turn your artwork into prints you can sell or share? Whether your original is a painting, a drawing or a digital file, the process is the same five steps.
1. Capture your artwork
For a physical original, photograph or scan it flat-on, in even natural light, filling the frame with no angle or glare. For digital work, export at the highest resolution your tool allows. Either way you want a clean, sharp file at around 300 DPI at your intended print size. (More detail in our art reproduction guide.)
2. Prepare the file
Save as PNG or TIFF in sRGB colour. Crop to your intended proportions and check it looks sharp at 100%. See our print size guide for the resolution each size needs.
3. Choose your paper
For art prints that last and look gallery-grade, use archival fine-art paper with pigment (giclée) inks — it won't fade or yellow for decades. More on this in best paper for art prints and what is giclée printing.
4. Pick your sizes
Offer a couple of sizes — a smaller, affordable option and a statement size. You can print standard photo and A-sizes or enter a custom size.
5. Order — one or many
Upload your file and order a single print or a full batch. Selling at fairs or online? Our prints-to-sell are produced to consistent, archival quality so every reorder matches. Want to test first? Try a sample print.
