Thank you!

Have you tried using the much cheaper non-Epson inks from ebay?

Useful video...a couple of tips to add: if your card is already cut to size, move it slightly away from the top of the scoring board so that your score with the tool STARTS from the edge of your card...(if you simply line the card up directly to the edge of the board the scoring tool will not reach into the top of the card. Also...i would suggest 'creasing' the BACK/BLANK side not the front to avoid damaging the colours/card on the front.

Hello Alice, I do make greeting cards. I only sell a small amount of them. I will be starting my business up. Your cards are really cute.

Hello Alice, this is some really great information. No matter what you do or say and even how you look...at least one person will have some negative words to say. You take care.

Beautiful painting!💐

Hi. I love love love your videos. Bought this printer after your reviews. I just wanted to ask, have you used any off brand printers for the xp-970 I’ve found that the inks are very expensive and I’m looking for alternatives

Thank you so much, just starting out and found this so helpful

this helped me so much, thank you! (side note: you and Aman from clearview driving sound sooo similar!!) :D

In case you didnt know, or others dont know (i didnt until recently), cellophane bags are a good choice as they are made from plant extract and although cant be recycled, they are biodegradable. Good video.👍

Is this method effective with thinner papers too?

Ißm currently in the process to find out what works for refillable cartridges for this printer - it´s not easy. BUT I did manage to find a solution for the maintenance box: You can open it, clean it and then use a resetter that cost around 40 € with shipping to reset the chip on it. When the sponges, that are inside the box, are washed out and dried I can put the box back together, reset the chip and use it over and over again. Now I just have to get the cartridges to work consistently. If you have questions I love to help :)

What kind of gloss varnish do you use for gold leaf? What brand would you suggest that is the best for this?

Thanks for the review! I ended up buying the same printer. I must say besides the bluetooth problem, I am quite happy with it.

Cellophane is plant-based. It is made from cellulose, a natural polymer derived from wood, cotton, or other plant materials. Unlike plastic, which is derived from petroleum, cellophane is biodegradable and can break down more easily in the environment.

omg I didn't know I can put paper on the back side! thank you so much

recently started card making and didnt know how to stop color 200gsm card from cracking. it never cracked with white card, (same gsm). searched YT for over an hour and your video helped.

which varnish do you recommemd？

Thank you for not wasting our time, queen

1 question acrylic painting be fully dried or we can apply gold foil when acrylic painting completed?

What if you varnished the canvas before gold leaving the spots you wanted? I'm completely new to this and afraid to have ALREADY screwed up 😭

How many prints can you make with your new cartridges?

Do you had the problem that the printer print double text?

Thanks for the good information. Here in the States, the biggest card manufacturer is Hallmark who get a lot of money per card, and the ideas that go into them are less than desirable. That's why you should do your own, and hopefully, you might do it for less. Good luck with your business! 😀

Thanks a lot for that video! Did you try to print with not original paper and ink? I'm thinking to buy this model of Epson, but not sure if it will be also good quality with not original paper.

Nice video. I have two question. What is the name brand of the Pro12 paper trimmer? As these are an inkjet print, do you need to seal your cards in case water or moisture gets on them and bleed?

What is the tool you are using to design these ?

Will this print on canvas paper ?

Alice, Do you still recommend this printer in 2024? Thank you

Based on watching your first video I was so impressed with the quality of your cards and what you were able to do with the printer I bought one for myself. Just wanted you to know I think it's fantastic and I appreciated your help in picking this printer. It simply does a beautiful job. Thank you and keep doing videos.

Is that real gold leaf or artificial?

Love the cards. I like the small size and designs. 😊

Good little intro to card making. I have the same folder tray you do. You may wish to consider getting a bone folder. To me, they feel a little smoother when running them along the paper than the default yellow knife does. (Though it obviously works). I'm not sure how many prints you get out of your cartridges for your printer, but should it break down on you for some reason you might want to consider the the Epson Ecotank 8500 or 8550. I enjoy mine very much. Canon also makes an intank type printer but I cannot speak to the quality etc.

Can I use mod podge as a varnish over gold leaf

Jb BC xvffg🎉🎉😂😂😆👣👽

Thank you for your video . Yo0u have been very helpful . We have only got one question of that is ok? How do you make your cards look really glossy when you are using a matte coated cardstock? TIA

Hey! Does the paper have a little bit of texture or is it very smooth and texture less? Thank you! ❤

Loved the video- do you have a backup paper you like when this one is sold out? Thanks!

where do you find the paper?

Hi Alice, I was wondering what companies you have used in the past to print your cards. Are there any particular ones you'd recommend? :)

Great Video , With a lot of brill information....I'm a Photo Printer mostly and just starting to print postcards etc...In case your interested Try Setting image to Adobe rgb1998 colour profile as that has a wider gamut for printing 👍. Thanks Again for Great Videos.

Very helpful, thank you ❤

Where do I find your links ?

Have you had issues with blobs of dark into on prints, i did 5x7 prints but not sure if its because i loaded it into cassette 1 and maybe when it feeds the paper around its bending it and touching the print head.

That's really helpful. Thanks

I can't say it loud enough... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! x

Hi Alice! Thanks for sharing this video! Just got my printer :D I was wondering if you could share what color profile you set your canvas as--CMYK or RGB in procreate (or any other software) and what printer setting you use. My Epson printer doesn't print out the color so vibrant like yours and I've tried so many different settings but I still end up with a dulled down color. Thank you in advance!!

So helpful thank you

Nice. Decided to purchase this today after having the xp 900. It has been through the ringer and wanted an upgrade
