EPSON XP-970 | € 280

This new printer can photo print A3 paper, has far better color profile to my laser printer and will absolutely help me make more stickers, poster prints and other art.

For further reading:

Thank you for taking interest in this mini donathon. I’m putting this together hoping it’ll bring some attention to my art prints and stickers, and this specific printer I’m hoping to get. It’s a mid – tier printer that a handful of self employed artists have confirmed fill all their printing needs, and I think I’m happy to start out my printing journey from here. 

It is absolutely not necessary to donate! If you want to support me, just come by stream, hangout, and press some buttons on Twitch.

If you do intend to donate, please consider your family, friends or other irl people in your life first. Internet artist VTuber girl should be at the bottom of your considerations list. 

 About printathon: 

Every euro donated towards my printer will increase the printathon timer by five minutes. The cap is thirty hours. The donations can only come through Ko-Fi, and not in combination with any other services or products.

The donothon will start with six hours on the stream, as we have already reached 28% of the printathon goal (thank you Bilol!).

This leaves us with 200 to raise, and that will put another sixteen hours onto the printathon timer.

Now at this point honestly just stop – but given my last Gigathon experience… I’ve prepared a stretch goal. If we manage to reach the timer cap, I will share with you a very long winded six month long development process of my debut model. Again, just wait ! You’re going to see it in September anyway! 

I’m not going to be eating cat food, downing hot sauce shots, or drinking pilk. That’s for the debut.

This printathon is just good casual fun where I hangout with you for a couple of days at a stretch. The timer will be paused whenever I’m not streaming. 

Morning hours, I will be working on art, my commissions and video editing. 

Noon, I will take a lunch break – and will do some more artsy fartsy things including IRL hand cam streams if I want to ‘freshen it up a bit’.

In the evening, I will wind down and play some games.

 

What am I going to do with the printer?

I am working on two large self initiated projects at the moment. One, as you know, is my debut model, and all that entails it. A major motivator for this donothon is to ready my merch for the debut. Some of my upcoming merch includes metal pins, and acrylic keychains. Being able to test print colors would be incredibly convenient for prints and stickers.

The second project, is a snail mail club.

If you don’t know what a snail mail club is, it’s a hag hobby, where you actually write real letters to people. I’m hoping to find like minded, art-loving folk to share my thoughts, art, prints, postcards, stickers with them in a neat little monthly package. This project involves a lot of printing work – and would be the main project for this upcoming printer.
If you are donating, I will send you two months of my snail mail project for free. I don’t want the snail mail to be expensive – I will do my level best to keep it under €5, and I’m considering letting anyone with a tier 2 or 3 sub on Twitch be a part of my snail mail club for free.

This is a project in the very early stages, so this is as much I can share with you at the moment.

If you have any questions or suggestions, write to me and we’ll add them in!


T&C

By donating you agree to the following terms and conditions. 

1. There are no refunds – please donate mindfully. 

2. The incentive stickers are to be shipped out to you physically. You will have to share your contact details with me for it. They are not purchases, but gifts. You can opt out of the gifts if you prefer. 

3. All stickers, mail, art shared with you during and after this project are self made art. They will only be ready once the donothon ends, and the printer is purchased. Art takes time, and shipping then some. Please be patient!

6. I retain the commercial rights for any custom-designed stickers for donators.
