First sale - please help!
I’ve just had my first Etsy sale and it’s an A2 print. My original artwork is about 1,000 by 1,700 pixels. What’s the best way to prepare it so it prints sharp at A2 with printShrimp? Should I upscale in Photoshop to 4,961 by 7,016 pixels at 300 DPI, or rely on the printer? Any tips to avoid blur? Will I need to do this with every print? This bit continues to confuse me…..
Where do I add my listing cubes ?
My squares that say about just ask for personalisation etc - where do I upload these on the bulk mock up to, it’s asking for a smart object but it’s not one?

I click +photos, then it’s all greyed out, apart from files with smart objects

@Mihai Volintiriu thanks mate, yes sorted now. Assuming if you’re uploading a PSD it assumes it’s a mockup itself so requires it to be a smart object. JPEG works fine. Do you use JPEG for all your designs too or PNG?
Upscale before or after sale?
Upscaling seems to be the most confusing part of this journey (at least for me) - who upscales before the sale and who does so after?

Let's get the ball moving!
Hey guys, I want to ask, what are you struggling with the most at the moment? It could be figuring out where to start, creating designs, using PrintShrimp, setting up your shop, pricing, getting listings up or getting sales. Whatever stage you’re at, I’d like to hear from you. Tell me what you’re trying to do and where you’re getting stuck. If you’ve already tried a few things, mention those too. I want to get a better idea of where I can help and what we could explain better in the community. Chances are someone else is stuck on the same thing, so don’t be shy about asking.

@Mihai Volintiriu I thought Tom said to only upscale at the point of sale?

@Mihai Volintiriu I’ve had a look though and my image zoomed in does not look pixelated at all - do I need to upscale still?
Struggling with Upscaling & Image Sizes – Any Advice?
Hi everyone! I’m currently creating my poster designs using ChatGPT, but I’m really struggling to understand the best process for upscaling and getting them ready for printing. I’m planning to sell my designs in A4, A3 and A2 sizes. A couple of questions: - When generating an image in ChatGPT, what size should I initially create it at? - Should I upscale every design to A2 at 300 DPI straight away, then use that file for the smaller sizes? - Or should I keep the original image and only upscale it when I receive an order? - What’s the best way to ensure the prints are high quality without losing detail? I’m using Photoshop but finding the whole DPI, pixels and upscaling process quite confusing! Would really appreciate hearing how everyone else handles this and what workflow you’d recommend
