Really helpful. Thanks for posting. Questions: I've noticed some cons offer for an additional charge WIFI and electricity. Do you find it necessary for either? It seems some structures can be death for connecting to the internet and would a rechargeable battery pack be a good idea or is paying for the electrical a good move? Thanks again!
Really nice. I dont think you talked about it but where do you keep the copies of your prints?
Oh yeah, totally forgot about that. I don't bring too many copies of each print. Like 3-5, so I just stick them behind the same piece in the portfolio, so behind one of them is another 4 copies of that same print. I think I have 6 different prints of original characters, it doesn't take up much space. If the entire book was prints, I'd have to figure something else out.
When I used to do more prints, I put the prints back into the box I got with them. I made my own prints, so it was a thin 11x17 epson photo paper box. which was only a quarter inch high.
@@walterostlie Right now I have 2 different holders. For my small prints i have a accordion folder and for my 11x17 I have portfolio carrier thing. Though I have been thinking of just selling one size print but I am not sure which one. I see a lot of people sell 11x17 but for me personally i like the 8x11 Because I dont have a lot of room for 11x17. So I am always fighting with this size issue.
Yeeeaaah!!
