What media types should I get printed to test selling my work?

Pick three or four media types to start. Good options include fine art paper with smooth texture, canvas (just one type, not multiple), metal (preferably white gloss), and acrylic. Don’t overthink it - you just need samples of the final product to show potential buyers. Small samples are fine if you’re tight on cash. You can get started with around $100-150.
