Folder Difficulties
My latest design, Magnolia Splendor, is now stitched and framed. The folder design has been completed and it's ready for printing!
However, printing this particular design has posed a problem for me. The green shades, for whatever reason, are being 'read' as blue and thus printed as such! I find this quite exasperating to say the least. It has been tried several times on different machines with the same results. This has caused me to rething my selling format.
I am now strongly considering changing my designs from a folder format to the bagged item I've seen in LNS shops - where there is the printed design photo and key as well as numerous sheets representing the different sections of that particular design. I have never been a fan of this concept but can now see the possibilities of it! I'd actually be able to print off my own design rather than going through a printer. Since I am unable (at this point) to order the massive quantities that printers prefer (thus a better price), I expect my cost would be much the same.
So for now, I only need to obtain the massive quantities of bags (required for an order) to continue...
