How to make art prints usually comes down to one simple goal: create a print that looks like your original, holds up over time, and is consistent enough that you can sell it with confidence. I’m not talking about traditional printmaking like linocut or screenprinting here. I’m talking about the real-world workflow most artists use at home – scanning or photographing your work, dialing in color, choosing the right paper, and printing in a way that feels professional.
On this page, I’m collecting my guides on the full process, from digitizing and test prints to things like giclée, paper choices, and how to price, sign, and package your prints. If you’re working toward actually selling your prints, I also have a bigger selling art online guide that covers the business side like products, pricing, and simple systems. If you’re just getting started, my advice is to keep it simple: get a clean digital file first, pick one paper you actually like, and run small test prints until the result matches what you want.
