This is a handy guide on how to print downloads from Etsy that you have purchased from Roley.
Purchase
If you have purchased a piece of art where you can add a name, then fill in the field on the Etsy store page. If you've purchased via the site you can add a note to seller with the name you want or send me a message via the contact section. (If you are not ordering a custom name then just skip to the buy section).
Then of course simply buy the download you want.

Receive file
Once you've purchased your art piece, the file will be sent to you via the Etsy messaging service or email if you are purchasing from our store on Etsy, when the work is done.
If you've purchased through our own site, you will be sent an email with the finished file when it is ready and if you buy a non custom download, you will be sent an instant email with the file.

Print image
Now you have your completed work it's time for the fun part, printing your download.
If you own a printer
Make sure your printer is connected to your computer, is switched on and has ink. Then open the image file by double clicking on it. It should open in whatever software you have set to open images. Alternatively you could open any software you have to deal with images and import the file there.
Once the software is open navigate to the "print" section, this is usually at the top of the window under "file", although sometimes you will just see a heading that says "print". When you locate the print section click on it and choose the settings you want - click print and your done.
If you don't own a printer
If you don't own a printer you could take the file to a local printer store by dragging the file onto a usb stick. Or you could upload the file to an online print business and order directly there.

Tips
Software
Here are a few names of programmes that open images if you are unsure:
If unsure just click on the file to open it, if you haven't got a default programme set then choose one of the recommendations the computer will display. If for some reason your computer doesn't have an image viewing software you can download some for free from online - for example GIMP.
Image quality
For best results you should use good quality paper, ideally paper specifically designed for images, like photo paper.
Any defects in print are usually fixed by cleaning the print heads/nozzles (see your printers instructions) or by replacing the printers ink. Low levels of ink and blockages caused by infrequent printer use are usually fixed this way.
Hope this helps.
