A little practical help

What settings should I use?

Read the printing guide in your chosen product first. Check the paper size, orientation and scale in the print preview. Plot Twist and Japanese Writing Paper specify A4 at Actual Size; Castles of England uses landscape A4 pages. Print one page and check it before making the full batch.

Which paper should I choose?

Start with a sheet your printer supports. Test your pens or pencils on it before printing a batch. For cards or keepsakes, check the printer’s paper-weight limit before using thicker stock. Do not assume a home printer can handle every craft paper.

How do I download an Etsy purchase?

Open Etsy in a web browser, sign in and go to Purchases. Find your order and select Download Files. For an instant download, files become available after payment confirmation.
