Thanks so much for purchasing a Digital Download. I hope you enjoy your new art or photos!

All printers are different, but here are a few general tips for paper and settings to help you print the best photos at home.

I use Red River Paper* for all my photo and art printing. I’m a matte fan, but sometimes I enjoy a minimal glossy look that comes from a satin finish. I typically print calendars in matte and prints or digital art in satin. These are my two favorites:

Choose the paper size that fits the print you purchased.
I often choose borderless in my printer settings if it’s an option. You may want to print with and without a border to see what you like best and to learn how your printer interprets those settings. My calendars and digital art typically have a border in the design. My photo prints don’t. Sometimes I add a border when printing photo prints, especially if I plan to use them as greeting cards.

Choose best quality and color in your printer settings.

If you want someone else to do the printing, any of my digital downloads can be printed using a general photo department at local stores. For more professional prints, though, I use Printique. You can choose from a variety of papers and finishes to match what you like best. My digital downloads come at 300dpi in the sRGB color space that Printique requires.
