Printing Guide

Printing At Staples, Office Depot, Walgreens, FedEx Office, and Finer Works

How do I print my new art files? If you are new to the world of printable wall art, it can be confusing. Smaller prints are easy to make on your home printer. They look best on matte cardstock. Detailed prints look better when using a laser printer vs. an inkjet but depending on your printer and settings your inkjet print may look just fine.

If you don’t have a printer, don’t want to use too much ink, or want a larger print, using a printing service is quick and easy! See the steps as of 2023, outlined below on how to print your new artwork at Staples, Office Depot, Walgreens, and FedEx!
