Prints


I've been spending my Sunday morning getting to know my fancy-shmancy new printer, and feeling a bit like Bart Simpson in that episode where he trades in his racetrack-rescue dog for a fancy purebred superdog, only to find the purebred is very high maintenance. But I'm beginning to learn how to coax Fancy Printer to print, and the results are very, very nice.

I recently went through this as well, a dream come true printer and a mac that wouldn't see it! But yes its great once it all gets worked out! :)

I love that paper!

I'm looking into a new printer, too.... not sure what to get yet, though!

Thanks Caroline! I have high hopes for this printer (a Canon 9500 Pro) once I get past the poor user-friendliness.

What is this lovely paper you're printing on?! I love my Canon i9900- which is now discontinued. I admit there is some beginning awkwardness, but the quality is fabulous once I learned the ways.

Cicada, it's Legion Photo Canvas Cover. I love the texture - more like fabric than that vinyl feel some canvas embossed papers have. Unfortunately, Legion stopped making it, but you might still find some online.

This design is darling! What a precious print! I'm pretty sure I had added this to one of my treasuries awhile back ago. It's just too cute, I love how the bunny and raccoon look so happy and cozy sipping their tea on top of the little tree. This makes me smile :) I adore and enjoy your art, and hope to own one of your pieces someday! Keep up your beautiful work! - Jane
