Upscaling
Hi everyone, wondering if anyone’s got any bright ideas. I’ve been upscaling my prints manually and changing the dpi on photoshop but I think essentially they aren’t coming out sharp enough on large sizes. I’ve tried downloading the upscayl app, which because of the version of Mac I have (Monterey 12), won’t work. The desktop version won’t let me subscribe or use a free trial despite trying multiple emails. Does anyone have any other ways they’ve been upscaling??

How large (sheet size) and how crisp (dpi) do you want to go? What resolution do you start with?

@Annie Annie thanks! Okay, my guess is that using resample: preserve details (enlargement) at reduce noise level: 50 in Photoshop ought to do the trick for you without needing to make any other adjustments. I go from about 1728px wide to 4677px wide using exactly those settings, and with that have printed A3 posters that people are absolutely delighted with (and confidently offer to go to A2). 👍
Help!
Evening all! I was on the website the other day and I was using the measurements guides to help me get my dimensions correct for each size (A4,A1 etc) I can't seem to find them today. Can someone guide me in the right direction please! Thanks :)

maybe .. https://printshrimp.com/blogs/poster-guide/how-to-create-posters-for-print-on-demand
Maybe I am a little naive...
But I just made my first sale and went to process it on printshrimp and I didn't expect to pay upfront to printshrimp. I thought I had watched the videos in the classroom thoroughly but maybe I missed that bit. Unless I've done something wrong? So am I right in thinking that when an order comes through, you pay printshrimp and then Etsy take a cut and then you should be left with the amount that print shrimp so in the orders guide? But initially you will be at a loss until the money from Etsy is released?

AI art
Does anyone here NOT use AI to make their poster designs?

This one actually started off as a hand drawing and it was really gratuitous. I used Gemini to soften the weirdness I had made, but her legs are still the same as I had drawn them.. https://barttheraccoon.etsy.com/listing/4475642718
Physical + Digital?
I'm thinking about offering digital downloads alongside my physical prints in all of my Etsy listings. Is this a good idea, or are there any downsides I might be overlooking? I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone with experience offering both. I'm considering it because a customer just asked if they could buy one of my designs as a digital download.

Personally, I'd recommend this as it's a nice way to boost visibility and traffic to your store, if you need this. It's worked for me, and about 25% of my sales are digital, meaning I'm not losing on the higher profit from posters while "casting the net wider" for my store at the same time. If you don't mind sharing, what's the link to your store, please? Perhaps I could take a look at your store and share some insights, especially as my last response to your separate question here might sound a little confused. :)

@Tim Crowley thanks for asking! Absolutely a separate listing: only separate downloads-only listings are likely to get you selling that kind of product (relatively) trouble free. You’ll see at least 2 folks here who have bundled downloadables with physical items, and they’ve run into troubles directly resulting from combining the two.
