Are you interested in saving money while creating quick art? Do you enjoy redecorating often by changing artwork for the seasons? Does instant gratification mean something to you? If so, keep reading!

If you answered yes to any of those questions, you may be interested in printable art. But what exactly is printable art? Printable art refers to digital downloads that you can print at home. You can find a wide variety of printable art online, with prices that can vary. There are two types of printable art: instant downloads and custom options.

First, let's discuss instant printable art. Instead of purchasing a finished product, like a print or a canvas, you buy a digital file. This digital file typically comes in a high-resolution JPG or PDF format. To learn more about what high resolution means and why it’s important, click here.

Now that you've purchased the file, what do you do next? You have three options:

Print at Home

1. If you have a quality printer and the right paper, you can print it at home, provided your print is small (most home printers can handle sizes up to 8 ½ x 11 inches). Matte paper typically works best for most prints.

Visit a Local Print Shop

2. You can take your file to a local print shop, such as Staples, FedEx, or Costco. The advantage of this option is that they can often print while you wait, and they offer a variety of paper options as well as sizes.

Use an Online Print Provider

3. Many local print shops offer the option to upload your file online. You can choose to pick it up once it's ready or have it shipped directly to you. Additionally, you can search for online print shops by using Google. Shutterfly and Zazzle are two popular options you might consider. These services are particularly useful if you want your digital file printed on a canvas or other mediums.

By exploring these options, you can enjoy creating art while keeping your costs down!!
