#when i tried to convert to cmyk

[fantasy-anatomy-analyst]

I've got a small pile of unanswered asks, sorry for the wait! got myself busy again with other projects, like a christmas themed kids book I need to get done by thanksgiving.

I've been noticing that when my uncle has the books printed, they come out very dark and muddy, which is not great! I tried to research rgb to cmyk conversion and ran into all sorts of different advice on which profiles to use, found that most of the instructions rely on very specific art software, only to ultimately learn that many places used for printing art will just apply their own cmyk profile anyways. which can actually make the colors worse if you already converted the file yourself.

and furthermore, the problem is extra bad with these books because my uncle has been going through Amazon and they use a variety of third party printers! based on the results with the books, I'd say they're cutting costs with low quality cheap printers >:/ which means there's nothing I can actually do on my end to ensure that the illustrations accurately print with the colors I'm using.

However. I don't give up so easy. I've seen artists make all sorts of color choices just so the end results looks a specific way under specific circumstances. Like using negative colors so the image only looks "normal" when it's been inverted. or using blue and red so the image looks different based on whether it's under a red lens or a blue lens. making color illusions like that blue/black vs white/gold dress or the illusion of grey strawberries looking red when they're surrounded by cyan. I did a final project in college on the topic of color illusion, making my own example paintings.

(image description: three photos of small paintings. the first two images are solid yellow and green respectively, with neutral grey abstract shapes painted over them. because of the solid color backgrounds, however, the neutral greys appear to be slightly tinged with the compliment color of their backgrounds; blue tinged on the yellow and pink tinged on the green. the third painting shows a side by side comparison of the same pair of yellow scissor handles. on one side, they are painted bright yellow on a plain white background. on the other side, a dark purple background and more dramatic lighting still give it the appearance of being yellow scissors, but in actuality the handles are painted in shades of green and orange, blended together in some places and darkened or lightened with other colors. they simply look more yellow because of the purple background and the warm shading. end description.)

So I know a thing or two about color strategy. and I am not losing a war against low quality cheap printers, not today. I spent a while looking for cmyk color charts and palettes, testing images through an online cmyk converter, and I have finally achieved my goal. the final test will come when the book is done and sent to print. essentially, I just ran a cmyk color chart through a converter to see how it might look after being printed, then set the original and the converted version next to each other on my file. I can now use the brighter original colors but base the colors I pick on how they'll look in the printed result rather than how they look on my screen. this means the version on my screen is far more pastel than I would normally go for! but the test results so far prove the method, and I think this book will print just fine.

(image description: screenshot of the rgb and cmyk versions of the same painting, which look very small and compressed because they're thumbnail images. the rgb version looks very light and uses a lot of pastel colors and soft shading, while the cmyk version looks much darker and has more distinct shading. it depicts a family out caroling around Christmas, standing at the porch of another family who look very happy to hear the song. end description.)

by golly I am not going to let Amazon keep turning my hard work into muddied disasters. I get paid for these illustrations and I'll make them look good in print by any means available to me.

here's the colors btw if anyone else needs to use this trick:

(image description: two color charts. one is very bright and rainbow, the other is much lower contrast and dark. the colors that are the most affected are the blues and greens, while the reds and yellows are somewhat more intact. the greys have also become more brown in the second version. end description.)

just figure out what the end result needs to look like and pick the brighter color accordingly. should make the low quality print jobs look at least passingly decent! sometimes you really have to plan ahead to make things look the way you want.

Rachel "Retcon" Smythe Strikes Again!

Okay, so I've been seeing pictures of Volume 4 of Lore Olympus floating around, and people are ALREADY FINDING RETCONS.

Most notably so far, some added panels in the Hades and Apollo confrontation that happens outside Artemis' house (when Persephone steals Apollo's lyre) in Episode 81.

This is the original scene, for anyone who needs a refresher:

Aaaand here are the panels that were added.

(all pictures of Volume 4 are courtesy @iwannagutyou on IG!!! thank you for giving me permission to use these! <3)

First of all, the art. It's so noticeably bad. You can tell Rachel has completely lost her ability to draw these characters in the S1 style, I'm fairly certain she took the panel of Hades from the old version and just copy pasted it to try and get around it (look at the posing) but it's incredibly obvious looking at that third panel that LO is not and can never be what it was back in 2017-2019. Those first two panels seem like they were copy pasted from the previous ones, which is just sad if those are the lengths she has to go to to come even close to replicating the older style.

Now, this just might be due to camera translation, it could very well look better IRL, but the colors just look so incredibly desaturated and the lines blurred out, to the point that people are doing double takes over whether or not panels have been directly changed - they haven't been, they've just been so sucked dry of their colors that they look off enough to cast suspicion.

If anything it's a harsh reminder that LO has kinda always had art problems, especially with its lazy humor and stupid meme faces.

Of course, to be fair, color loss can happen in print, but seeing how slapped together these books tend to be, I wouldn't be surprised if they just didn't put in the effort to convert the page art to CMYK or at least tinker with the saturation in editing some more to ensure it would come out more vibrant in print.

Now. Excuse me while I go on a bit of a crackpot rant here. Newbie puff pals beware, because this is gonna get dicey and you're about to learn where my tinfoil-hat rep comes from but I just have to talk about it.

Back to the added Apollo panels, where Persephone asks Hades not to hurt him and he looks nervous before she says "I just want him to leave".

Maybe it's just me, but it's a little weird that THESE are the panels they decided they needed to add. It's weird that she's asking Hades not to hurt Apollo when she's about to break into his car and steal his lyre just a few moments later. It's weird that the implication seems to be that she's referring to Hades' act of violence towards Tori... but Persephone doesn't know that's happened yet. So this feels like an unnecessary retcon that's doing more harm than good.

But I feel like the timing of this is kinda messed up as well, as this book released just days after the release of the last FP episode in which Apollo has his 'side' of the assault story told through his perspective, which is often considered a HUGE no-no in writing assault stories because it often comes with the implication that it's asking for empathy from the audience. We already know Apollo is delusional, we already know he thinks him and Persephone are meant to be despite her constant rejection of him, we didn't need a flashback from his own warped perspective explaining that very thing, the only purpose to do such a thing this late in the game would be to try and get the audience to 'connect' with him (it's giving S3 Bryce from 13 Reasons Why vibes). Now we have this scene of Persephone asking Hades not to hurt him (despite the structure of the episode being literally fine before, this change wasn't needed) getting snuck into the physical book release just a couple days after the newest FP tried to present Apollo in an empathetic light (and let me tell you, that's a whole essay and a half that I'll be getting into eventually).

Shit, if I wanted to get REAL Pepe Sylvia with it, I might say that hypothetically, the whole point of the random Leuce abuse episode - despite Persephone having no way of knowing what she attempted as Hades hadn't told her and she wasn't there to see it and we weren't shown her overhearing them in any way - and the following episode that was mostly padding of Hades and Persephone having sex - no consequences or follow-up whatsoever to the Leuce scene - was just to pad out the episode release schedule and buy time until the book came out so that Rachel could release that Apollo POV episode right before the book came out and revealed those new added scenes of Persephone asking Hades not to hurt Apollo, in what could be a sly artificial attempt at minimizing the SA plot so Rachel can finally just brush aside the one major plot point she regretted writing the most. After all, it wouldn't be the first time Rachel's controlled the pace of her comic to release certain moments at certain times that line up with IRL events.

But, y'know. I'm gonna quit on that thought while I'm ahead because it's probably making my credibility meter drop into the red. My ADHD has been real bad lately and it's really starting to show LMAO All ima say is that IDK who Rachel thinks she's fooling here, this kind of shit is stupid easy to fact check when the digital version of the comic is available online to read.

To end on a much funnier and lighter note, remember how Rachel tried to retcon the Demeter/Hera/Hestia relationship by changing the line "I miss my sisters" to "I miss my friends"? Well, there was one panel that had been missed in the webtoons version that still refers to them as sisters. You can still find this unedited line in Episode 78.

And uh. They forgot to fix it again for the book.

It's permanent now. That's permanent marker. It would have cost them nothing to find this in the webtoon version and fix it before it got sent to the book editors. Now it's gonna cost them thousands because the book editors didn't bother (or know) to check.

There's also this... weird shit going on with the speech bubbles. Like, they're REALLY FUCKING OVERDOING IT with the speech bubble outlines. I don't know who made this choice but it was a bad one. Gross. Don't do that. It looks so cheap.

But let's be real, at this point I feel like the book editors are just outright sabotaging Rachel because who the fuck calls themselves a professional when they do this shit-

Oh, and there's no bonus episode, just sketches. Which is fine. But it makes me chuckle to think that Rachel just didn't have time in her already razor-thin buffer to draw up a new episode to pass off as "cut content".

[quacheta]

So a few months ago, there was at least one (1) person who got permission to, and started, the project of bookbinding AmevelloBlue's The Ghost in the Shell. And when they tried to print it, it was like 700-800 pages. Which is... a lot.

So I figured, since (1) I also love Ghost in the Shell, (2) I do typesetting semi-professionally, and (3) why the heckers not, I could probably get it down to a more reasonable size.

And I did. And then AmevelloBlue gave me permission to share it here, so.

The Drive Folder With All the Files.

File-specific information below. :)

(Please, for the love of Donnie's banana pancakes, read it. I am trying to answer as many technical questions in advance as I can, so people don't get overwhelmed or confused or frustrated.)

(But also it is a LOT of information, so if you need clarification please ask. This is for to be fun! Not scary!)

There are three parts.

GitS.p8: This is the straight PDF export, done in pages and not spreads. That means each page is its own page (a spread has 2+ to a page) and the pages are in order. If you want a pretty PDF to read on a device, this is what you want. If you want to run it through your own imposition software, this is also what you want.

GitS.p8_typeset: This is the imposition. That means the pages have been rearranged into signatures and spreads for bookbinding. There are 16 pages, or 8 spreads, or 4 sheets of paper (printed double-sided) to each signature. Each signature gets stacked, folded into a booklet, and then stacked on top of the next signature for sewing the book block. THIS IS THE WHOLE BOOK. If you want ONE file to send to the printer, in one straight run, this is what you want.

signatures (folder): These are INDIVIDUAL SIGNATURES. That means each signature is a separate file. If you want to do a test print of a single signature, this is what you want. If you want to run different signatures through different printers, this is what you want. If you want to do this piecemeal for any other reason, this is what you want.

(The last three signatures are three sheets of paper, not four. This is for the sake of balancing page count against structural integrity in the bound book.)

Why would you want different printers, you ask?

Because color printing is expensive. And I used color in the typeset.

The entire thing is designed to still be readable (and pretty!) in a regular, black-and-white printer. Because I wanted this to be accessible to everyone, not just people who can afford color printing. But if you want to split it, and send the signatures-with-colored-bits to a color printer, and save money by NOT sending the whole book, these are the signatures with colored bits:

0, 5, 7, 11, 13, 14, 25, 26, 28, 35

And if that's too many pages still, here are the signatures with the most important colored bits (i.e., the title pages and the illustrations):

0, 7, 35

All of the files are PDFs. All of them, specifically, are PDF/x-1a(2003), which means the color profile is CMYK only and all the fonts are embedded. So nothing should go screwy-whompus when you download it or send it to the printer.

TRIM SIZE: the pages are 5x7.5. This is (1) to allow printing on letter-sized paper more easily, and (2) to also allow for trimming of the book block without screwing over the margins. The imposition and the signature files have trimming / cutting guides (the little lines) for your convenience.

There are 36 signatures total, or 560-something pages (less than 200 sheets of paper, before folding, if printed double-sided). This is still a big book. Big enough that you will need to know about spine swell, and possible rounding and backing, if you decide to do the binding. Please keep that in mind as you plan your project.

EPUB: some people like to convert PDF book files to ePUBs for eBook reading. Due to how I designed the typeset, this is not going to be pretty if you try it with these. I am currently in the final stages of making the eBook for GitS, and will upload the ePUB to the drive folder as soon as it's done. It will not have the pretty background / border illustrations of the print file, but it will be neat and tidy and include the pretty title pages.

I... think that's everything?

[anime-grimmy-art]

Hi! ;v; May I please ask, how did you make your Vograce standees? I want to make one with my OCs but I have no idea how I’m supposed to measure the millimeters... or how to submit the artwork, like if it’s all just on one file? or if I have to submit the base design separately from the upright designs? I tried reading through their instructions and I didn’t understand, and when I reached to them for help I didn’t get a response for a month, so I’m kind of at a complete loss and would appreciate any tips you might have. Thank you for reading!

Hello anon!

As of right now I cannot reach my file and tell you exactly what I did, but in general what I essentially did was put the drawing and the design for the base in one file and then added suggestions for cutting lines on a seperate layer. If you have more than one upright design, it seems that only one file has to have the base included and when ordering, you essentially have to order 2 standess, just with one having the meassurements for the base at 0.

As for the millimeters, you can usually change your sizes in your art progam to millimeters. If you want to know how big that is irl, Id suggest just using google to convert your meassurements into millimeters.

I saw youtube video that goes over the process in a relatively good way:

I do hope this helped you out a bit. Normally, if your stuff doesn't work out, someone from vograce will contact you and check with you anyways.

Also, lastly, just a small tip, be sure to check your CMYK values as well, cos boy oh howdy, I forgot bout it and lost a looot of colour haha

Huevember 2022 days 22-23. Self-care dragon reminds you to drink water.

I'm falling behind on the Huevember challenge, so I'm reusing the same drawing for 2 different days, with just the background changed to each day's challenge color. All to save time.

My sister told me in a message that I should design more dragon stickers, but ones that say "drink water". Used an Asian dragon since they are more associated with water and can breath mist/water in mythology/folklore.

11/24/2022. Sketched in Platinum Preppy fountain pen, using Noodler's Ink. Scanned for finishing in Krita. . 11/24/2022. Practicing learning digital drawing and Krita. Started with 3000x3000px canvas, 300dpi, CMYK color mode. Used color picker on a Huevember 2020 reference chart of each day’s challenge color to get #61BDCA for Huevember day 22 and #5CB69E for Huevember day 23. Used some parts that I already drew on Huevember day 21's Krita drawing, drawn with Stabilized freehand brushstrokes. Still using my cheap, wide-tipped, capacitive stylus, since my active stylus is out of batteries and my mouse is inconvenient to dig out. Drew new parts with Krita's Freehand Path tool, modified with Select Shapes tool and Edit Shapes tool. Then tried different colors with Krita's HSV/HSL Adjustment. . Converted from CMYK mode, to RGB mode. I'm keeping the CMYK versions for when I need to print stickers. But until then, I'd like to post the RGB versions online, since they look better. After isolating subjects/text away from the background and converting image to RGB, I colored the background with the RGB versions of Huevember days 22-23's colors. Then adjusted Color Balance of the subjects/text, and changed the text to white (instead of pale blue). . CMYK: day 22 = #61bdca CMYK: day 23 = #5cb69e . RGB: day 22 = #01d9e4 RGB: day 23 = #01cfa1

took a peek at the hazard cards finally, and i enjoy sharing the process so. started with the main card (no offense to op when it comes to redoing it! i over-organize my layers and shapes!) - converted the type to objects, it makes aligning easier. - changed background color to pure white, black to CMYK rich black (60/40/40/100). - centered some objects to themselves. - redid the corners, adjusted radiuses (0,14in iirc?).

makes me wonder if there is a difference between ISO and ASTM when it comes to the background white. i liked the off-white actually, unsure about grey corners yet. definitely keeping arial narrow, tried to see how bahnschrift would look but this is perfect as is

Sorry if you've been asked this before (I tried searching around your profile but couldn't find any previous questions) but how do you prepare your art files for printing as charms? I'm trying to get my own charms made but when I convert from RBG to CMYK the colors get really washed out~

it's normal for colors to lose some brightness when converting to CMYK! you can manually adjust the saturation to a point, but some colors just can't be replicated in print as they appear onscreen. and id recommend asking your manufacturer for tips on how to get your final product to match the digital design as closely as possible :)

[thunderheadfred]

Can you talk about your printing process a bit? Your print quality is gorgeous. Figuring out how to get the color and lighting to translate properly from screen to page has always been tricky for me.

So, there’s a couple of things at play, and they’re all going to affect print quality.

I’m working with 6-9 color pigment inkjet Epson printers with high-quality after-market ink, which is why mine look the way they do. Inkjet is slow but can be startlingly sharp and accurate when correctly profiled. If you use the right ink (pigment), those prints can last a LONG time too.

Some inks won’t be able to do deep blacks on matte paper, others won’t have bright magenta, etc etc. Printer companies price-gouge their ink, but a lot of after-market brands are crap, and won’t be as bright.  I’ve tried a variety of inks and I’ve been really satisfied with encapsulated pigment ConeColor Pro, which I was even able to use to convert my old 1400 Stylus Photo printer to a continuous ink supply pigment system. Pretty neat.

Color representation is going to depend on three things, mainly:

ink (long term archival pigment vs. inexpensive but brighter dye, and then based on brand quality)

paper stock (glossy and matte papers print VERY differently, and every single brand and stock is going to need a different printer profile)

correct image profiling. It used to be all about CMYK, but that’s really only for specific types of printing nowadays. Typically RGB color is going to be what you want, but you should always check the specifications of your printer and do your conversions yourself, to make sure they look accurate. it’s usually a good idea to look at your artwork on multiple monitors (say, a PC screen vs. a mac vs. a mobile) to really get a good idea if your colors are accurate. If possible, I also recommend calibrating your screen if you’re using a PC.

To get all three of these variables to cooperate for accurate color reproduction, you absolutely need to verify you are working on an accurate color space on your program of choice, and also to custom profile every paper before you print on it. I use a spectrophotometer and software to manually profile every paper+ink+printer combo I use.

Then, when I get a new print from a customer, I build in proofing costs and do a few small-scale prints to make sure the color representation is good. Even after all that prep, I usually have to make a few minor manual adjustments that big shops don’t do, just because I care, haha.

rubykgrant replied to your post: Hey, does anyone know how to get photoshop pics to...

sometimes it can be the contrast of the colors light/shadow that gets a little messed up. I remember some color pictures I was printing, they kept looking wrong for some reason… I tried tweaking how bright/dark they were and adjusted the saturation and it finally looked OK. just don’t change it so much that you lose what you like

Yeah, I’ve tried doing stuff like that.... generally when you convert to CMYK and printing in general, it changes the way the colors are and generally loses a lot of the saturation it had, which can really get it looking muddy and it sucks... I just wanna know how people get it so the colors still look decent. :/ 

Some of the pics will turn out ok anyway bc of the palette not contrasting too much with the color shifting, but others suffer a whole lot for it and I want to try stopping that if possible...

Hi! I came across your 'Printing Artwork' tutorial series and wondered how I can make Photoshop images in CMYK more accurate to an original image's RGB colours (I use SAI) . And if printing CMYK images are accurate to what you see CMYK on screen. Does using CMYK safe palettes still print correctly even when you use gradients or mix them? Thanks!

The short answer is you can’t really. Long answer with some suggestions below the cut.

You can fudge your colours around using hue/saturation adjustment layers, but once you’re restricted to CMYK colours, you can’t ever hit that vibrancy that RGB offers as ink on its own just can’t produce those colours. Your monitor also may affect what colours you see as every monitor is slightly different in terms of brightness/contrast, colour temperature, gamma, etc. The best way to test what your print is going to look like is to print it yourself. (I’ve had experiences in the past where an image looks great on a monitor but is too saturated in one particular colour once printed, so after fiddling with it and test printing, I got it to print like I envisioned after I made the one on the computer look very odd colour-wise)

In regards to gradients with CMYK safe palettes, as long as you’re in CMYK mode, Photoshop will automatically limit itself to CMYK values only. SAI doesn’t have this option, so you’re basically stuck to modifying things in post in Photoshop to better fit a printer’s gamut (colour range).

If you ever want to see what falls outside of the printer’s gamut, you can pull your image into Photoshop and put your view mode into gamut warning mode.

Make sure your Proof Setup is on CMYK.

Let’s use this RGB picture as an example:

There’s tons of very saturated cyan in this. I know from experience this won’t print as I see it here, but it’s hard for someone inexperienced in print to realize this, so this is where the Gamut Warning mode comes in:

Anything that’s turned grey signifies an area that falls outside of an average printer’s gamut; it won’t print as intended.

Once you convert the image to CMYK, you’ll notice it dulls all of those areas in the grey:

You can especially notice it on the little glowy paper flying around in the background. A printer just cannot produce that colour, so Photoshop attempts to find the closes CMYK colour value to the one there and replaces it, often ending with a less-saturated image. This is what the print will look like even if you tried to print the top, more saturated image.

You can manually adjust your image in colour layers to fall into a printer’s gamut, but this process can be very time-consuming for very minor enhancements. I personally just convert straight to CMYK and let it be unless something drastic needs to change.

If you’re making an image for print, try to keep the fact that colours are limited when it comes to ink in mind as you’re making it. Super bright, neon, saturated colours tend to not print as you see on a monitor.

Good luck with your printing!

[inspiration4ken]

Imagery for spread 4 titled : Green

For green I wanted to choose an image that represents luck, four leaf clover. At the time I wasn’t aware that I needed to work with CMYK and I was confuse as to why the colour wasn’t turning out the way I want it when I tried to use this image on InDesign.

The .png file above was in RGB and the photo below it is the printed version which is automatically converted into CMYK. The problem with this is very clear at a first glance, the different tones of green was lost during the conversion. The printer also doesn’t use normal green ink hence why printing it can distort the image. (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) (Red, Green, Blue)

Today’s post deals with the special finishes I want for some prints in my shop.  Before we get to it I do have a couple small updates.

I’m holding a 4th of July sale!  With the code happy4th18 orders $10 or more get 25% off.  That is my biggest discount ever!  The coupon counts towards the entire store, which includes preorder and clearance items.  The sale goes through July 8th.

Starting yesterday orders over $20 now qualify for free shipping.  It also works with coupons, but the amount may need to be post discount.

I added a little new art recently.  When things calm down it’s going to be a continuous thing.

Sunny Mountains Practice

Beach Painting

Aside from that I am still trying to complete a gallery piece.  I also have a book cover to work on, and my friends’ movie blog (plug!).  Then back to comics.

Did you know I have a mailing list?  Click here to subscribe to it!  You’ll get a special sign up coupon, and a birthday coupon.  I may only send an email out once every week or, two.  There will also be sale or coupon notifications within 24 hours of it starting.

Anyway…

My eventual goal for prints, Artist Alley, and the shop is to print from home.  I felt I’d save a lot of time or wait, and money doing so.  I want to be able to print thumbnails for color control.  Work is done in RGB and I always have the worst time converting to CMYK.  If I had a dedicated profile it would probably be doable.  It’s my biggest hurdle printing from digital files.

I’ve read about using pdf files instead of jpgs.  Have people done this and had success?  I think I did it once and it may have gone better.

I may make the equipment a Patreon goal.  I’m hoping when I reach it I’d have the capacity to warrant printing from home.

I do have a few specific prints to talk about today, as well.

Icy Glare

The only special plan I really had for Icy Glare was a special holographic overlay.  I’m having a hard time finding it.  I’m sure I have the know how, but I lack the equipment to do it myself.

The two finishes I had in mind were either snow flurries or a frosted window.  I was always fascinated by frosted windows and their crazy patterns as a kid.  I tried to achieve some of that with the border.  Since I know it can be done, I’d want the overlays to reflect in cool colors only.

*sigh*

Other than that I was wondering about silver ink or foil on the embroidery of Helena’s obi.

Looking Back

One of my main pieces and my online avatar.  I actually had some of these effects in mind while I was making the print.  It has two main components: the chrysanthemums of the kimono and the negative space.

If I were ever to make the kimono the chrysanthemum flowers on it would be lined in gold foil.  I want to create this in the print.  A friend of mine (plug!) brought in gold foil for me to try, but we had a sizing issue with the fine lines.

What I decided on for a base was a coating of bronze ink.  I decided on Dr. Ph Martin’s Iridescent Bronze.  The idea was to loosely scratch some on in random areas.  Before it dried I would rag some off (hopefully without smudging).  I wanted it to be a little textured as well.  Another friend of mine suggested gold nail glitter for that.  I may mix gold with copper for the warmer tone I want to achieve.  It’s very fine so I think it will work.

The biggest headache I’ve had is how I would achieve the pearlescent effect of the negative space.  I was looking at Perfect Pearls shimmer spray, but it seems to be sold out on Amazon.  They came out with an alternative called Dylusions Shimmer Spray, which could work.  My final thought was glitter infused mica powder, provided it would work as a light spray.

My only gripe is not having these in front of me to experiment.

The main challenge may be the risk of ruining the print.  I used Catprint for the first batch.  I’m not sure what type they use.  I may be able to minimize risk avoiding alcohol or other solvents, and too heavy of application.

Future Prints or Other Options

I’ve been looking into foil and special papers.  I have already done a few with felt texture paper.  I know Catprint also has shimmer papers in white or cream.  I’ve also been looking at metal prints, pearlescents, wall scrolls, and puzzles.  I’ve been bookmarking recommendations which I can include later.

I feel like I’m trying to achieve something that may be hard to do at the small scale level.

Thoughts or suggestions?  I feel like I’m making this much harder than it needs to be.  I’m also curious about the demand for these special finishes.

When I do have my solution I will write another post detailing my finds or process.

I also wanted to get into casting.  One idea I had was Mr. Snail magnets or ornaments.  I also had an idea for Triune portrait coasters or medallions.

The blog will return with:

Some links go to Amazon.  This site is in the Amazon Affiliate Program.

How Should I Achieve These Prints? Today's post deals with the special finishes I want for some prints in my shop.  Before we get to it I do have a couple small updates.
