Should I only offer print options that I personally think look good with my work?

No, don’t try to outsmart your customers. They know what they like better than you do. Even if you don’t think your work looks good on a particular medium like canvas, your customers might love it. Order the full range of options and let your customers decide. You can always discontinue an option later if it truly doesn’t sell, but you need to test it first. Display everything—different media types and size ranges—and educate your customers about each option. You’ll often be surprised by what sells. Your job is to present professional options and help customers visualize them, not to limit their choices based on your personal preferences.
