Print labelling error
Hi just made my first sale which is very exciting and also keen to see the process from start to end. I think I might have made a rookie error though. I’ve only used the bulk software update to load to Etsy. When I imported my order to Print Shrimp the file couldn’t be found as the titles didn’t match. I’m assuming that all of my file names need to match exactly the long Etsy title and currently I don’t think they do. I’ve a short descriptive name on my Print Shrimp uploads. Is the best thing to do to edit all of my Print Shrimp image names to match Etsy?

@A T @Guy T thank you for this. It’s on my list to check what’s going on with titles this week. I’m up to 4 orders now and 2 have worked and 2 haven’t been found so I need to check all my listings to see what I’ve done. Good to know it’s not the big long Etsy description I need. Pretty sure my files are all just short labels
UPSCALING
So I currently use Leonardo Ai which is great & easy to upscale but not the cheapest. I've tried the free Upscayl but doesn't seem to work for me (comes up with error), It may be because I'm on a Microsoft Surface pro tablet. What does everyone else use? And what costs, if any? Thankyou

I am very interested in this thread too, trying to get this right from the start. For A1 and A0 I have been getting massive file sizes over 100MB to achieve the desired dpi for the print quality at that size via upscayl and a couple of others I’ve tried. Decided not to upload the few I did yesterday to my Printshrimp files due to size and thought I’d investigate more what others do for this size. Part of me thinks sort it on a case by case basis as I’m thinking A1 and A0 sales are going to be rare?

@Mihai Volintiriu thank you I’ll have another try! I’m treating all this as learning!
Mid journey
Hi, getting myself all mixed up over dpi and print quality and I think my confusion is from the video tutorials. In the videos Tom talks about upscaling in midjourney by using the creative upscale button which I have done and I’ve done this for all my images. But when I look at the properties of these images the pixels are much lower than the recommended for printing and nowhere near 300dpi? It makes sense to offer the big sizes so before I carry on with more and more listings and make my problem worse would folk recommend that I upscale all my images for A2 and bigger another way?

Thank you I’ve just tried imgonline.com.ua/eng which was recommended on a thread here and when I zoom it doesn’t look great but has seemingly increased the size. I haven’t tried upscale yet but will tomorrow. Would you mind if I posted a test image to you to check?

@Danielle Tooley yesterday I started putting all of my files through Canva and downloaded them at the maximum pixel size available for an A2 poster. I now believe the quality should be good for A2 and smaller and I’m replacing the files on Printshrimp. The files are all about 15MB though. I tried upscaling using a couple of the sites mentioned here but to get the pixel size recommended for A1 and bigger the files were over 100MB so still not really sure what folk are uploading for big sizes. I think I’ll need more advice on big sizes from this group.
DPI
Hi, I made the mistake of not paying attention to my poster's DPI. I was wondering if there's an easy way to update the existing print shrimp files with the same image but the correct DPI.

I think I have done the same and not paid attention to dpi. I did creative upscale in midjourney but in canva I haven’t been downloading at the highest resolution and all my images have been through canva so it’s going to affect all of my listings. Next job to sort as offering the big sizes seems sensible

Hey guys, Thought it might be useful to have a big old list of our FAQs. Please take a read through this and familiarise yourself with how we operate! How do I place my orders? Placing your orders is very simple with PrintShrimp. Unlike other platforms, we allow to create your products on your marketplace of choice, and then come to PrintShrimp for fulfillment.

Head to the integration tab, connect your Etsy shop, and then click 'Import Orders' in your create order tab. We let you have the final say before fulfilling your order, so your shop is in your hands. When and how are my orders sent? Due to our extensive network of printers, it depends on the country of fulfilment. In the UK, we typically use Royal Mail 48. We use USPS Standard shipping in the USA, and AusPost Standard shipping in Australia.

I'm starting out as a novice but eager to learn and absorb. I'd love to quit the rat race.
