I think it would be very handy to have a forum where we can discover the ins and outs of getting our digital artwork printed. I, for one, am a clueless artist who just does my artwork, but has no idea what it means to CMYK, to color separate, what printing resolution is, etc. I can print some of my artwork off of Kinkos color laser printer, but as to why my colors sometimes come out perfect and other times they don't... I don't know why and I don't really understand what I'm supposed to do to fix it. I've seen in other forums where people have asked similar questions, so I know that I am not alone. I think that such a forum would be an excellent place to pool these questions, to gather together information on printing, and on online printing houses, etc. Since the majority of us ARE digital artists, I sincerely believe this is a forum that is needed for those of us who want to do more than just have "pretties on the web".
