How To Print From Procreate: Full Guide

Procreate is primarily a digital drawing and painting app designed for creating digital art on your iPad with the help of Procreate brushes. It doesn’t have a built-in printing feature like traditional desktop software.

To print your artwork created in Procreate, you’ll need to follow these steps.

_{^{Export Your Artwork as an Image}}

Before you can print your artwork, you need to export it as an image file. Procreate allows you to export your artwork in various file formats, including JPEG and PNG. Here’s how to do it:

Open your artwork in Procreate.

Tap the “Actions” menu (the wrench icon) at the top left or swipe down to access the actions menu.

Select “Share.”

Choose the file format you prefer (JPEG or PNG is recommended for printing).

Adjust the export settings like resolution and quality if needed.

Tap “Share” to save the image to your iPad’s Photos app or other storage locations like iCloud Drive.

_{^{Transfer the Exported Image to a Computer (Optional)}}

If you want to print from a computer rather than directly from your iPad, you can transfer the exported image from your iPad to your computer using methods like email, cloud storage services, or a USB cable.

_{^{Print from Your iPad}}

If you prefer to print directly from your iPad, follow these steps:

Open the Photos app on your iPad.

Find and select the exported artwork image.

Tap the “Share” button (usually represented by a box with an upward arrow).

Choose the “Print” option from the share menu.

_{^{Set Up Printing Options}}

Once you select “Print,” your iPad will search for available printers. Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPad. Here’s what to do next:

Select your printer from the list of available printers.

Adjust the printing options like paper size, orientation, and number of copies.

Tap “Print” to send the artwork to the printer.

_{^{Collect Your Printed Artwork}}

After sending the artwork to print, wait for your printer to complete the job. Once it’s finished, retrieve your printed artwork from the printer’s output tray.

Keep in mind that the print quality will depend on factors like the resolution of your exported image, the capabilities of your printer, and the type of paper you use. Make sure your image is exported at a high resolution for the best print results.
