How to Make Prints of Your Art at Home

 

In this video, I go over how I go about printing my art prints at home with a professional Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 inkjet printer. If you are an artist trying to decide if printing at home or ordering your prints through a company is right for you, I have another blog post and video on how to outsource printing here: https://www.chelseaaynaart.com/2022/05/18/how-to-make-prints-of-your-art-outsourcing/
