First you can do is use the forum search and read the many many many printing topics that people already asked.

Printing a portrait saved as .jpg. The colors in the flesh tones are washed out and subtle shadows are also diminished from the original painting. I have read through the manual on soft proofing, but this is very confusing, and I don’t see ow to solve the problem. There must be a simple way to print out a painting the way it is drawn. I would love some help. Tom H
Just wondering if anyone has had experience with 4c printing from a Krita file and has any tips or experiences to share.
Other than to make sure the model is set to CMYK/alpha, make resolution at 300 px, and include crop marks for bleed, is there anything else I need to do?
Will be printing cards with a foil stamp. Will be including an additional layer in black for foil.
Thank you!
Hi New here.
I would like to know if there is a guide somewhere available to teach me how to setup Krita or printer so that I get the best realistic color from the printer. My first attempts produce a print that is darker than the original.
Your suggestions will be very welcome.
Thanks.

hi, is there any way to reproduce RGB drawings printed in the real worl without loosing color?
I just recently downloaded Krita, and im wondering what size to set up a new document, like pixel wise, to print nicely on a large canvas? Long story short, im want to do a version if the starry night, and mail it to my sister on a canvas. so i want to make sure the picture is in good quality. If anyone knows great places to get such printed as well, that would be great!
Hey all, I’ve been experimenting with Krita for a while, I want to treat it like a real canvas ,so i am trying to create everything by brush strokes (personal choice) without using much of other features. I am wondering how do you set up your space for a successful print? After trying some printing on paper with print companies (and I understand there are different printers) I have come to conclusion, if I start my file as RGB profile (as some companies only work with RGB ) but then only us…
How do I add bleed to the image borders for print? Do you have any other advice on how to prepare my image for print on hardcopy?
I am new to Krita. Thank you!
And so on.
Long story short. Image size is your least concern. You basically enter the dimensions you want them to be printed on into Krita when you create the document and it converts it into pixels for you and you are set. But colors that is a whole other can of worms
What format is best depends but usually print shops want PNGs as they are lossless and can have color profile information, therefore are easy to handle for you and for them. While you work you use a kra file of course.
