Thanks for the feedback! I’ve tried listening with headphones and didn’t notice clicking, but there is music in the background that might be what you’re hearing. I’ll keep this in mind for future videos. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

So glad to hear that, thanks so much! 😊

Thanks so much! Glad it helped 😊

The rulers will stay accurate only if you copy and paste them into a document that's exactly the same size as the Procreate file templates provided. If you're using a different canvas size, you'll need to import the single PNG file instead-it will retain its proper size that way. I’ve checked using the screen size canvas, and it worked fine on my end, so I’m having trouble replicating the issue. Could you double-check to make sure you're inserting the PNG rather than pasting it? You can do this by going to the Actions menu > 'Add' tab > 'Insert a file' and selecting the PNG file. Let me know if that helps!

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad the tutorial was helpful! For printing, it's true that starting with 150 dpi can impact quality, especially if you're looking to print as a book with high-detail illustrations. Changing the color profile to CMYK and increasing to 300 dpi does help, but it can’t fully make up for the lower resolution of the original images. I’d recommend doing a test print if possible-that way, you can check if the quality is good enough without committing to a full print run. Some print services offer sample prints, which will help you. If the test print isn’t quite right, you may need to consider selectively reworking certain pages rather than redoing the entire project. Hope that helps!

@@iPadCalligraphy Sorry for late respond. Thank you so much for your answer. I appreciate alot❣Have a nice day!

There's no 'print' button in Procreate. Go to the 'Share' menu (from the wrench icon) and choose either jpg, tiff or psd. From the menu that comes up, choose 'print'. You need an AirPrint printer set up to print from your iPad. If you don't, share the file to a computer and print from there.

@iPadCalligraphy thank you. Sorry I was kinda harsh!

You're welcome, thank you! 😊

Thank you so much!

Happy to help! 😀

Thank you so much 🙏

@@iPadCalligraphy …you’re very much welcome 👍

Thanks so much! 😀

Yes, happy to expand… For the project I refer to in the video, I had some text that I needed to provide the printer in 100% K value (which is pure black). I exported the design from Procreate as a .psd file. I then opened it in Affinity Designer and made sure it was in CMYK mode. I was then able to select each layer of the text and by tapping on the colour circle in the top right menu, I can check the values. It needs to be set as ‘CMYK Sliders’ which is an option in the colour panel. I could then change the channels so that it was 100% K value with all other channels were 0% (C,M & Y). Hope that helps, but let me know if you have questions!

I totally get your frustration. Procreate is primarily a digital app that uses RGB color channels. It doesn't actually work with 4 separate CMYK channels, but instead, it simulates them to help prepare files for printing. Dull colors are a common result of this simulation. When it comes to printing, there are different processes, and not all of them rely solely on CMYK. For instance, some printers use Pantone colors, which are specific, pre-mixed inks that can produce much brighter and more vibrant colors than standard CMYK. Offset printing or screen printing can also handle colors differently, allowing for more vibrant results depending on the inks used. When working with digital art for printing, it can be tricky to match what you see on screen (in RGB) with what comes out in print (CMYK). Hope this helps!

Could you somehow export to Photoshop and match the colors somehow?

So glad to hear that, thank you 😊

Did you create the new canvas at exactly the same size and resolution?

​ I found the mistake. I accidentally entered the dimensions in the pixel field! I tried to copy all layers and it worked after a few attempts. Yeah.

Glad it helped, thanks for watching!

Unfortunately Procreate is not the best app for print preview. It's actually a RGB app and only simulates CMYK palette. If you really need to accurately see the print colours, you're better to use a CMYK app like Affinity Designer.

Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful

Hi Bunny, thanks so much for your lovely comment! And I think we were talking on email. Incase I'm mistaken though, here is the link to the Ornaments pack - ipadcalligraphy.com/product/ornament-brushes/

You're very welcome! 😊

You're so welcome! ☺️

Yes! They might not be exactly the same as Procreate is only replicating the CMYK color palette. It's actually a 3-channel app. If you want a better representation, I suggest using Affinity Designer or Photoshop for any color preview before printing.

Yes, there is a colour mode. From the ‘Shapes’ panel, tap the black and white icon in the left corner (the circle icon) and tap the colour palette icon to change to colour mode.

@@iPadCalligraphy thank you so so much this is really going to help!! I appreciate this immensely!😁

This is a gold texture with a layer mask applied to hide the layer. I then paint on the mask to reveal the gold 😊

You're so welcome Robby! Hope it opens a lot of creative options for you. Thanks for your lovely comment 😊

It depends on what you’re printing. If you’re printing full color and you don’t need to supply the printer with any specific values in the CMYK channels, it’s not really an issue. Procreate can still produce great print quality and will give you a pretty good gauge of how your print will turn out. If you need to supply specific values, like in the gold foil cards I show in the video where I needed 100% K (black), my suggestion is to run the artwork through another app to export. I opened my artwork in Affinity Designer and changed the color of what I wanted to print in gold to 100%K.

A mí me la modificaron en la imprenta porque algunos de los colores claros se veían oscuros y los tonos medio oscuros se veían demasiado oscuros. Otros colores se notaban demasiado claros.

So glad it helps! 😊

Thanks for watching! Glad it helped 😊

Thanks for watching! Oh wow, that's interesting. P3 is a special RGB format that has more saturated colors. It's usually a digital format (like the iPad in particular), but glad it worked well for you 😊

You're welcome, I'm glad it helped!

You're so welcome Jan, thanks for watching! 😀
