So........ that printer!

I've mentioned a few times that one of my crafty goals for this year is to be able to purchase a wide-format printer of my own. My main reasons:


  •  I'd love to be able to print my artwork on demand, to be able to customize prints by size and not worry about over-ordering.
  • I have the opportunity to fill some larger/wholesale orders of my art pendants - this would put that part of the production in-house.
  • This printer can handle canvas as well - this presents some interesting possibilities with my artwork and projects.
  • This printer can handle watercolor paper, and it prints with waterproof ink... which opens up some fun avenues with watercolor, and would also allow for some step-by-step watercolor kit classes - wouldn't that be fun?!


I'm going to be saving up to bring this baby home - the full MSRP is $800, though there are occasional sales and rebates. I would love to have your help! Here are three ways you can help me:



1. Buy prints! 
I have an overstock of prints that are ready to ship. You can use coupon code PRINTER3 for $3.00 off your order of $13.00 or more. You can click HERE to visit my store. The code expires at midnight on January 14th. The code will work on other items as well.



2. Buy cards!
I have over 200 cards up for sale in a silent auction HERE. Click through and comment to bid. The minimum bid is $3.00, and the first round of bidding ends at 9 pm central time on January 8th. I usually list my cards at $5-8 - they are all high quality and one-of-a-kind! (Some are having trouble with the link - if you're not sent to the Facebook album, you can go directly to my business page and you'll find it linked there.)

Thank you in advance for your support - I am so excited to see this happen!
Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Dina, I'd love to see the cards you have for sale, but when I click on the hyperlink in #2, it goes to a Facebook message of "Sorry, this page is not available." I'll check back and hope it works later!

  2. Hi there! I tried the link to your card auction and it is not valid. I also helped you some with purchasing a charm necklace from your store 😊

  3. Hello Dina, I bought mine at https://www.itsupplies.com/. At the time I bought it, there were $250 & $50 rebates available. Excellent customer service, helped me contact a paper supply vendor with questions about it's ability to print digital negatives. Keep an eye out on the site for rebates, as the site didn't show up on Google Shopping.

    1. I looked there yesterday actually, and their price was closer to $700. There was a $150 rebate up till Dec. 31 on the Epson site, so I'm sure they'll run something again. I don't usually pay full price if I can help it! Thank you for the info!

  4. There are a lot of things I would like to have both for my crafting and just life in general, but I would never go on my blog and basically beg people to help me buy them! You already sell your stuff and that is just fine. Take what you earn and buy what you please, but begging readers to help you purchase an expensive printer that apparently would only help you make more money for yourself is in really bad taste in my opinion.

  5. I'm not familiar with this particular Epson printer but I do have a workforce printer by Epson and hate it! I commented on the Epson website where they were soliciting comments for the printer and received an email back saying the comment did not fit their guidelines and would not appear. No customer service asking about my concerns, offering of suggestions or annything. Personally when this printer dies I will Not buy anything Epson.
