Hi everyone! 🙌 This is an exciting space and it's fantastic to see so many new faces jumping into the print-on-demand poster space! _However_, because it sits right at the intersection of e-commerce, digital design, and web technology, it can have a surprisingly steep learning curve- take extra care if you're green to this or don't consider yourself to be particularly techie. Lately, a few of us who have been navigating the technical side for a while have noticed a lot of newcomers hitting some of the exact same roadblocks. To help save everyone time and back-forth—and to make sure you’re setting yourself up to get on (roughly - it's never 100% smooth) the path you want to be on—I wanted to share a quick overview of the baseline technical aspects that really need to be understood first. 1. Skool Forum Basics Threading & Direct Replies: On these forums, always use the direct Reply button on a specific comment that you're posting a response to, rather than posting a new standalone thread/message. This keeps conversations linked and ensures the person you are talking to gets notified. 👍 2. Image & File Fundamentals Resolution & DPI: Knowing the difference between screen resolution (72 DPI) and print resolution (300 DPI at full physical dimensions). Your 7020 x 9930 pixel file for printing 300 DPI on A1 (or still a respectable ~200 DPI on A0) will make your printed chipolata look like a jumbo plantain when zoomed to 100% on even a retina display (a retina display is a posh one on a MacBook where things look MEGA sharp). File Formats: Knowing that you're dealing with PNG and JPG formats predominantly, and what those entail. (Tip, PNGs tend to have huge file sizes because there's no loss in quality at all, whereas JPGs are more manageable because you might lose a tiny amount of detail zoomed in, the kind you won't notice on a poster). 3. Data & Asset Management Uploading & Aspect Ratios: Matching design aspect ratios (e.g., 2:3, 3:4) to specific poster sizes so designs aren't cropped or stretched incorrectly. Yes folks, it's 100% up to you, to provide the busy folks at PrintShrimp with the correct sizes to begin with!

Ok so I have generated the images, bulk loaded, created the mock ups, included a video (which i am amazed I manged to create) and exported to etsy. They are now in my drafts and I am scared to death of publishing them! Please tell me this is normal!!!

Where can I find the image of the frames for my Etsy listing?

I am new to etsy and not sure how to set up the option to buy two or three images in a series. Could someone help me or direct me to a video that may help me? Thanks

In your videos it says that you would recommend different shops for different types or themes of posters. Do I need to create a Printshimp account for each shop? Thanks in advance
