Frequently Asked Questions

What do i need to get started?

All you really need to get started is a design file and access to a printer. Yep, that’s really it! Simple right? Please don’t let worrying about having the “perfect” paper or the best printer stop you from getting started creating. I’ve shared my favorite finds in the Materials + Tools section so you have somewhere to start.

How many can i print?

You can print as many copies of a file as you’d like as long as it’s for personal use.

Where can I print my files?

You can print them anywhere you want. You can use your printer at home. If you don’t own a printer, you can take your files to an office supply story like Staples or Office Depot. You can also take them to a local print shop.

What if i dont own a printer?

No worries! You can take your files to an office supply store or a local print shop and have them print it for you.
