@Steve Kayser But if you wait then it means you are delaying your dispatch speed on etsy no? That was only my 1st sale so idk exactly. But as soon as I made the order in print shrimp, I marked it as complete on etsy because my part is basically done, I've acknowledged and then put the order into manufacturing. My logic was that way the customer gets an email telling them the order has been sent. I suppose the order hasnt physically been sent, but its been sent to print shrimp to start creating. So although that is the case, if your delivery times on etsy are accurate then its fine doing it that way I think. When I marked the order as complete, etsy gave the customer an expected delivery between march 16-19, and because I dispatched it within my 24hr window I set on etsy, it is being delivered today for the customer which is the 18th. So the 3 day window etsy gave was correct and I met the expectation. I feel doing it this way is better because the customer gets that almost instant communication that the order is already beginning to come their way. I would feel like if I waited a couple days for the tracking number to be available to then complete the order, the customer might feel left hanging a little bit, because they would place the order, then not hear anything for a few days. As opposed to placing it and hearing back within 24 hours, then getting another update when they can track.

Thats awesome! Can you link your store?

@Jack Gowan Spot on make thanks so much. I've followed those steps. Only issue I have is when i put the poster into A0 size it is slightly too small in its original size, but I know you said previously that you stretch out. So I'm assuming you just make the image a smart object in PS and stretch it to fill and the quality still remains fine?

@Jack Gowan I noticed that Tom and other sellers dont seem to sell in A0 anyway so I just skipped it as well but I appreciate your reply

@Jade Walker where on Etsy can you add it on to the listing to allow them to select a different material though? Or would you just instruct them to write it in the order notes if they have a preference or something? Also, do you find that a certain material tends to always be better than the others?

@Tom Beeston thanks for the advice Tom. I’ve got a quick one regarding print shrimp. I made an error uoscaling one of my prints so it was roughly like 1800x2400px or something, it was in A sizes, so when I put it into print shrimp it obviously said that it fit into A0, A1 so on so forth, would I like it to automatically enter them in. So if my image is that small but it still fits the A0 ratio, I would assume that if I was to order it in that size that it would just turn out very pixelated and poor quality?

I'm looking to find out the same thing, having troubles upscaling and still having nowhere near large enough pixels for big prints
