Adriana's Go-To printer settings

Welcome back everyone! I'm frequently asked this question, but I've really noticed it has picked up more lately. Everyone wants to know what printer settings I use to get such crisp, clean prints. Right off the bat, I contribute 90% of the amazing quality to my amazing Canon Pixma printer (Read More About It Here). This printer offers so many different print settings, it lets me play around with the color settings, and best of all, it prints up to 13"x19". I mean, I love this printer so much, I've honestly been thinking of buying another one just so I can have 2 of them! Still...if you really want to see what settings I use, check out the photos below. **Please keep in mind that my printer, and the way it is compatible with glossy paper might not necessarily be the way your printer works. Some printer ink doesn't work...

How to make a custom chip bag in 5 steps!

How to make a custom chip bag in 5 steps!

So you want to make your own custom chip bags? You've come to the right place for all the "secrets"! Below, I break down, step-by-step, how to make a chip bag party favor. STEP 1: THE PAPER The paper you go with depends on not only the type of printer you plan to use, but also your budget. Below are a few of my faves.   Regular Copy Paper - Budget Friendly This copy paper can be bought at Walmart. It has a matte finish, so it won't look super fancy, however, it gets the job done well. When searching for a good copy paper, I highly recommend paying attention to the "Brightness" level of the paper, as well as the "Weight" of the paper. So this one has a 97 out of 100 brightness level, and it's weight is 28lb which is thick enought to not be see through, but thin...

Adriana's Printers

I am very often asked which printers I use for my small business. I currently use 3 different printers for different purposes.  Continue reading about my printers below. To learn more about each one, click on the name of the printer below, and it will take you to a website that sells that printer.     1) Epson - EcoTank Photo ET-8550 All-in-One Wide-format Supertank Printer I purchased this amazing printer from Best Buy.  It runs on Dye based ink, which means that I can still use Koala brand paper, which is notoriously known for requiring Dye based ink.  I love that it prints quickly, and it is a wide format printer, so it prints up to 13x19.       2) Canon Pixma ix6820 Large Format Printer I've been using this printer since 2019.  The print quality is amazing, and runs on dye based ink cartridges.  It prints up to...

What paper does Adriana use?

What paper does Adriana use?

I am asked this question so often that I wanted to provide an easier way to get my answer out there.  Now, depending on the printer I am using (my laser or inkjet), and the finish I'm aiming for, I will use one of the following paper types.  To purchase the paper for yourself, simply click the image.   My favorite sticker paper: I use a lot of different brands of sticker paper, each with it's own specific use. However, the top 2 sticker brands I recommend are the ones you see below. The Koala glossy sticker paper has amazing gloss, and sticks very well to whatever I stick it on. However, it is meant for Inkjet printers only, and it is NOT waterproof. So keep that in mind. It also requires the use of Dye ink, so check to see what kind of ink your inkjet printer uses. (Click the...
