Wow, it is already almost the weekend! I have to admit, I was a little screwed up all week with the time change – gotta love the extra daylight though!! We’ve actually had a little bit of Spring weather here this week, too! I’m hoping it sticks around one more day for my nephew’s first birthday party, but I think it is supposed to get cold again 
So anyways, today I wanted to share some more information about printing from home…Club Members can print from home as much as they’d like because it is all included in the $9.99 monthly fee (or $99 yearly fee). The print from home feature is awesome for ALL types of scrapbookers. When I say all types of scrapbookers I mean traditional paper, digital, and hybrid scrapbookers. I’ll break them down into those categories real quick
Traditional Scrappers: For $9.99/month you have literally THOUSANDS of papers and embellishments that you can print from the comfort of your own home! Even if you don’t have any desire to create digital layouts – you can still use the supplies! I know you are all exceptionally creative, so use your imagination and take advantage of the deal!
Digital Scrappers: This one is obvious, create your layouts and print them from home for instant gratification and bragging rights to your family 
If you don’t have a printer capable of printing 12×12’s you can always print 8×8 and 5×7.
Hybrid Scrappers: This is my personal favorite – combine digital with traditional! There are so many printing options for this type of scrapper. Create full layouts, print, add embellishments, and put them in albums/bind them, etc. OR do hybrid other types of projects and print papers/embellies to add to your work. Print whatever you want from the site – the possibilities are endless when it comes to what you can do from there!
Printer: I have a lot of people ask me how to get the best print results when printing from home. I am partial to my Epson R1900 which is capable of printing everything up to 12×12. I am not only partial to this printer, I am borderline obsessed. Ha! *Note – Epson is not a sponsor or affiliated with ScrapHD in any way, I just like my prints!* Seriously though, this is a printer that retails for about $400. I know that is expensive, but I don’t think it is insane if you plan to use it. I actually found mine on Ebay for $380 -with free shipping because it happened to be a local seller! There is also an older model of this printer which is also great and you can probably find it for a little less mondy, the Epson R1800.
Ink: Another thing that comes up in almost every print from home discussion is “how much ink will I be using?” This is definitely something to consider, and it’s another reason I like the Epson printers. The ink cartridges are all individual, so you can purchase the colors you need on an as-needed basis, which can be helpful. The cost to print from home will vary depending on a few factors. One being, what colors are being used and the complexity of the layout. I’ve been told a 12×12 layout can cost between 65 cents to $1.75 depending on what you’re trying to print.
Paper: We found that there was a NEED for scrapbooking photo paper that was high quality and affordable. So we came out with ScrapHD Photo Paper for scrapbooking! It prints incredibly – I promise it is top quality. It comes in true 12×12 and 8×8 size. If you want to know more about it or where you can get your hands on some leave me a comment. I’d be happy to point you in the right direction!
Let me know if you have any other questions about printing from home. Once you start doing it, it becomes addicting. I no longer purchase greeting cards for anybody, I create a personalized card on ScrapHD and print it (and sometimes hybrid it up) before giving it to the lucky recipient 
Have a fabulous weekend! I’ll be eating cake with my adorable 1 yr. old nephew!
xoxo,
