I use an Epson XP-7100, it's actually an ink-jet printer. We were recommended to use Epson in design school because of the colour and quality and it's all I use.
I prefer to draw in RGB because the colours are brighter and there's more options of colours. When I send it to print I just let the software reinterpret it for CMYK printing. I also like to work in RGB just in case I'd ever want to use the art digitally. I hope this helps!
Hi thank you for this. I noticed you use a Epson XP 7100 can I please ask can you put card through this printer and also are the cartridges expensive. Thank you again.
Good question! I am able to run card stock through my Epson printer. The ink can be expensive, but some of the newer model Epson's have an eco-tank system where you can refill the ink containers and they hold more ink than the traditional cartridges do. My next printer will definitely have that feature. I hope this helps! 😊
@@glenisbrown7528 It does! I have printed on watercolour paper, I've been using the Canson XL paper that I got at Michael's. I use it for printing watercolour prints mostly, I find being on that paper helps them look more close to the original. 😊
To make a postcard you would follow the same steps, but make your Procreate artboard the size you would want your printed postcard to be. And then still bring the final image into an 8.5x11" artboard in Procreate and print it on cardstock. If your postcard was small enough, you could likely fit two on one 8.5x11" sheet and print two at once. Hopefully this helps! ☺️💕
That might be an issue outside of Procreate, with your device not being able to see or talk to the printer. Perhaps try going into your bluetooth settings on your device to make sure your printer is connected there first. I hope that helps!
Excellent. Can you show how you send it to illustrator and print it from there too please?
That's a great idea - thank you for the suggestion! 😊

Hi - what kind of a printer are you using - a home printer? Laser?

Home printer
hi, do you draw in cmyk? or RGB
I prefer to draw in RGB because the colours are brighter and there's more options of colours. When I send it to print I just let the software reinterpret it for CMYK printing. I also like to work in RGB just in case I'd ever want to use the art digitally. I hope this helps!

@@LeanneLandArt Thank you so much. Do you think that the XP7100 would print on watercolour paper?

Sorry me again, it was the Canson XL aquarelle paper A4 just making sure before I order it.
Hi Leanne, do you know how to make postcards?

What do I do if my procreate tells me “AirPrint printer not found” ? I have my Bluetooth on. Do I need a app?
That might be an issue outside of Procreate, with your device not being able to see or talk to the printer. Perhaps try going into your bluetooth settings on your device to make sure your printer is connected there first. I hope that helps!
