The 12x12 is the highlight(s) of the event and then all those extra pictures I thought we needed and printed out years ago. For this year I am toying with the idea of scraping 12x12 layouts as usual but printing the only others that I really want in 4x4. Thank you for all your tips.

    Thank you so much for this useful video. In 2005 I had an Epson printer I adored that I used to print photos for a military scrapbook I started work on while my husband was deployed to Iraq at the time, sending me photos digitally from where he was. It had the capacity to make photos from negatives and slides as well. When it quit working, I was so sad and I've never had a printer again that did such a good job. I've wanted an Epson again(still have a lot of the Epson paper) but didn't know which one to get. I appreciate your input in this decision and also am intrigued by the app you use--sounds like it is great for me, who is not very tech-savvy.

    Erin, thank you for this video
I refer to it often. I recently tested printing 2 different 4x6 photos that were screenshots. I printed both on Epson Premium Glossy paper. The difference was one set of the 2 I used the Epson iPrint app and the 2nd set of the same photos I used the Print to Size App that you recommended in this video. What a difference! The set printed with the Print to Size app was sharper, clearer and was so much less blurry that I could read most of the info on the side of the fire engine in the background! I used my Epson PM 400 for both.
    I especially like it for heritage photos that may not be up to today’s photo capabilities. THANK YOU!

    Great video Erin, very helpful. I've been printing from my computer with a cannon printer. I use a Mac computer and I have not found it very user friendly when it comes to printing odd sizes - lots of hoops to jump through. It does just the very basic fine. I'm definitely going to look into Print to Size and PicMonkey to see if I can get more versatility and an easier process. Hmmm...I also might have to look into the Epson Picture Mate - maybe it's time for a photo printer. I also like your tips for laying out your photos with the placeholders. Thank you!

      Hi Diane, I agree the Mac doesn't make it easy. My ancient Desktop Mac came with a program called iPhoto which is amazing when it comes to printing odd sizes. They discontinued it and I'm so bummed my new laptop doesn't have those options. Most all my photos are on the phone now so I just print from there. PicMonkey does look like a good option for the computer.

      @@jeneewesterfeld5714 hello, I do not but that is a great idea for a future video. I’ve had several people share that they use a text box like I do in this video, print their journaling on plain printer paper and then use temporary adhesive to adhere their pocket card over the printed area and then run the same printer paper through again. If it’s a 4x6 pocket card I just size my paper to 4x6 and run it directly through the printer. I hope that gives you a few ideas to try out .

    Thank you for your informative video. You were very clear and zoomed in when needed. I did have to pause and re-run some parts (but that's on me). I also watched the one by Jayma Maime and another by a Katy (recommended by Jayma). All three of you use DIFFERENT photo apps for resizing and printing your photos from home. Print to size (you), PicFrame (Jayma) and Pic Monkey (Katy). They ALL seem great, and I know you are probably going to say, "it's just personal preference". I agree. But for someone completely NEW to this whole "print from home" scenario, is there some type of comparison chart to help me DECIDE?? I am pretty tech savvy (for a SENIOR CITIZEN) but NOT for the average "grew up with a smart phone in my hand" generation. So, I am looking for advice. I have an Android phone. Is there one of those apps that works better on an Android?

    When my mother passed away, I inherited all of her photos (a lot!). So, instead of just storing them, I took one of those CM containers & sorted them into types of photos like snow, horses, family groups, grandparents, siblings, etc. Now every year my brother gets a photo album for Christmas using some of those old photos. Each album has a theme. Last Christmas it was family reunions. I also make a "life" album for each of his kids when they graduated from college using the old photos. (My mother took tons of photos of the grandkids.) Just thought I would share what you could do with those photos you have stored if you are like me being the only scrapbooker in the family.

      Hello Elizabeth, I do not have a monthly charge for the app so it is a one time purchase. Your ink will be okay unopened in the package but the ink in your printer will eventually dry out. Storing it in a cabinet should help and I have read covering the whole printer with a plastic bag can help also. I can't say how long that will take because I print regularly. I know it can be hard to make time for scrapbooking especially organizing photos.

I'm wondering if the printer alone (without an app) also offers features for printing directly from my computer. I really like the features you showed us on the app. I had to laugh.. I have the very same Creative Memory archive boxes (not just one) - full of pictures!!

    • @CraftyConceptswithErin
      @CraftyConceptswithErin  Pƙed 2 lety +1

      Lol, I’m sure there are lots of us that have those same creative memories boxes stacked up. You can definitely print directly from your computer. On the printer itself you can set it for 3 1/2 x 5, 4 x 6 or 5 x 7. I know there are lots of different photo software options out there so I think it might depend on what you are using. My friend Katy uses Pic Monkey on her computer to get the odd sized photos. All the photos that are on my computer are also on my phone so I typically just print directly from the phone. I do have an ancient desktop that still uses iPhoto. I print directly to the Epson which will print out whatever size I tell it as long as it’s less than a 5 x 7. Hopefully that makes sense.

I don’t know if there is any validity to this idea but maybe tightly wrap your printer in a plastic bag when not in use. It might slow the drying out process. Keep it away from windows with direct sunlight where it might get hot too. Have you watched my ten ways to add journaling video?

      Hello Lisa, that is an excellent question. I do have a video I will link you may find helpful. I always begin with how many photos I have to tell the story. From there I will decide if it is a single or double page layout. Generally if I have three or less it will be a single page. Then I decide which photo is the most important, I tend to print it larger. 4x6 pics take up a lot of room so I prefer 3.5 x 5 for single page layouts. I then typically print the accompanying photos smaller at 3x4 or 3x3. It helps to have an inspiration layout or layout design in mind before you print your pics. czcams.com/video/luWavaEFC0c/video.html

      Yes thank you, I discovered that shortly afterwards so added I added the update to the description and posted on the community tab. It looked legit but when it was tested by android users it took them to a whole other app. I’m sorry for the misinformation. The printer is amazing though!

    Is this app free? I saw this app and a fee of $2.99 was that correct? 😊

      That sounds about right, I did pay for mine and it is well worth the cost. I hope you love it!

    "when you only scrapbook what is actually going in the album"? Do you mean, " when you only PRINT what is going in the album"?

      Whoops, I didn’t catch that when I edited the video but yes, I only print what is going into the album so I’m not storing tons of photos. I choose my favorite photos from the event and make sure to include everyone and the important details. Many of my photos will be similar or maybe the same subject but different angle. I narrow it down to the best one.
