Description Just a little visual guide... Hope it helps. Please let me know if I can improve it.

Added tips suggested by *DimensionSeven and !WoofCurse :
The border you might choose to add with the 'scale' slider should be at least as big as the bleeding edges, to prevent unwanted cropping in the print lab.
And to remove prints from your shop:
Navigate to your print shop,
click on any print,
on the left are icons that give you different options:
"View Deviation"
"Add to Wishlist"
"(Your link)"
"Edit Print" - and the one we want this time:
"Manage Prints"
Click this option and it takes you to a page full of choices to manage your print shop. The link you'll want now is "Your Products" (you'll see in it's description that this is where you can disable a print)
Once you've clicked this link you'll see first a list of your Active Prints, and below a list of your Inactive Prints, followed by a list of your Recently Rejected Prints if you've had any that didn't meet quality standards.
Find the print(s) you want to remove, in your Active Prints list, check the box next to it's(their) title(s), and simply click the button at the bottom of the Active Prints list to deactivate it.
As far as I know, you do not have the ability to remove (delete) a print. Once you've de-activated a print it will always remain in your inactive prints list, even if you remove the original deviation.


Thank you for the feature `ginkgografix , I am SO honored!

I've been unable to get online much lately, but I wanted to let everyone know I am EXTREMELY grateful, and I WILL get busy responding to my comments and questions as soon as my body lets me spend more than a few moments on here at a time once again.

Because, with my injury, there's NO way I can ever catch up with all of the "thanks yous", I'll have to say it here:

You're right, I'm not on DA very often, but I happened to check my messages today! Lucky you - LOL!
I'll answer as best as I can.
1.) Prints are bought with real $ as in actual spendable cash.
When you have made a sale, you have the option to withdraw it as cash, leave it on your books to purchase products from DA or convert to points.ย 
2.) I am not involved with DA in any official way. I am just another member like you, and as such I have nothing to do with print sales - if that is what you were asking.ย 
To answer the other way I can read that question:
I DO promote my own print sales in small ways, by sharing the links to some of my favorite prints now and then in other places, but other than that I don't have anything to do with print sales. Deviant Art's Print service does all the work for me, once I have chosen and set up print sizes, and product offerings.
3.) If the art on your poster are images or literature owned by anyone other than the band members or yourself, you could get into hot water by selling the posters. However, if the artwork is a combined creative effort between you and the band, and you have their permission to market the posters with their artistic contributions included, you would be in the clear. A dated text or email with such permission should be all you need.

I hope this answers your questions! If not, look through the Deviant Art Forums. There are a lot of members with a lot more experience than myself in there. That's how I learned to navigate this site in the beginning. It takes some digging sometimes, but the answers are there.ย 
If you have anymore questions, I'll try to watch my notifications, and see if I can help some more.

Disable the print; Instructions are in this devation's description:
"...And to remove prints from your shop:
Navigate to your print shop,
click on any print,
on the left are icons that give you different options:
"View Deviation"
"Add to Wishlist"
"(Your link)"

Line-of-Birds In reply to Techz59 [2012-07-07 09:59:29 +0000 UTC]

Not as far as I know - you just have to remember to NOT click the "Submit as Print" when you submit your deviation.

As far as I know, you still do not have the ability to remove (delete) a print. It will always remain in your inactive prints list, even after you remove the original deviation.

Very simple - Go to the page the deviation is on, and in the upper right hand corner it will say "Print Not Enabled" (submit as print)
Click this, then follow the steps in the tutorial!

I discovered actually you can't delete a print even if you delete the deviation in the gallery folder. The print remains on the print list.
Thanks for completing the descriptif by the way.

This issue must be fixed or updated by the staff..
