Establish Your Brand Using Your Inkjet Printer – User Tips
As soon as I bought an HP Inkjet 3650 printer for my antique shop I began to find creative uses for it. I printed signs, I printed tags and I printed pictures.
First, I used it to print signs for various areas in my shop. I had a digital version of a logo that had been designed by a graphic artist and I decided on a color theme for all the signage in the shop. I used cream paper and printed everything in brown ink. It looked classy.
Next, I printed lovely, big Art Nouveau tags for all my furniture. My daughter had given me a book/CD that contained a couple of hundred Art Nouveau designs, including borders. I used the borders to create the tags on the cream paper.
Finally, I had copyright-free art work, like cigar bands and perfume labels, that I scanned, printed and dry mounted in attractive groupings.
My printer was really helpful to me. It helped me establish my brand and create a saleable product. I had such fun doing this that I have been easing into scrapbooking using my vintage greeting cards.
Lyn’s Note: Wow! Another wonderful user tip. It’s nice to walk into a shop where the owner has paid attention to the little things! The Deskjet 3650 is a nice printer, and you can save a little money by purchasing the black #27 cartridge 2-pack.
What an awesome idea. I would have never thought about making a brand like that, especially with my printer. I should take your advice and try different types of paper.
