    Thanks for watching! Like I mentioned in the video this tutorial was inspired by a conversation I had with my camera man Alec while working on a project in Denver. Checkout the darkroom page he made here- aleccoutinho.darkroom.tech

    I uploaded some photos to Darkroom and they looked HORRIBLE. I got in touch with them and Kristopher said they had their engineers working on it. He also said the problem wouldn’t effect the finished product. I don’t think I’ll be selling many prints the way they look online. Have you heard anything about this from anyone else?? I though this site would be exactly what I wanted.

    I wish services like Darkroom integrated with Squarespace! Curious to see what you'd do if you wanted to dropship photo prints via your Squarespace page (I've only tried Printful)

    Thank you for this video! I’ve always been intimidated with selling prints, this actually makes it pretty simple. I’ve also been thinking of getting the PPA insurance ever since getting the Q2 haha. Is there a major difference between PPA Full vs Full Plus?

  • @ohanatraveladventures
    @ohanatraveladventures Рік тому +2

    Can you do a video on this vs using printique? Printique is integrated with squarespace so I wanted to know if it would be easier or cheaper to go that route…

    Awesome Video.... Is there a way I can determine how Large I can print a photo? Is it the size of the file or the MP of the file or is even a website I can test out a file to be enlarge to?

    • @AndrewWilliams-vg5lg
      @AndrewWilliams-vg5lg 6 місяців тому

      It's extremely easy to see the physical size of a digital image in Photoshop. Open up your file, click image, click image size, and change the dimensions to your preference. Resolution plays a BIG part in physical size (good and bad) so make sure you know what you're doing before you start changing things. There's formulas out there that take what the human eye is capable of perceiving into account, but everyones opinion on what looks good or bad is different. Start printing your photos and start gathering hands on experience!

    • @RanftEvan
      @RanftEvan  Рік тому +4

      I use simply color lab, as I outlined in the video I prefer to sign the prints. But this is a hood option for people who want to implement a passive income print strategy into their business or can’t handle the process of inventory and shipping

    Is this only effective for people inside the states? I live in Ireland and have started selling prints on my Squarespace website but I’m doing everything made to order atm so it’s expensive I think a system like this might be better. Any recommendations? Thanks for the video. Absolutely love your stuff 🙏

      Hello! I am just jumping in to say that darkroom ships worldwide. I am in Australia and I sell on my darkroom shop all over the world 🌎 it’s such a great way to sell prints if you don’t have much time. I love darkroom and now you have this video to show you exactly how it start it up too!
