Can you print NFT art?

November 13, 2021

When you own an NFT (an original painting, collectibles, artwork drawing, photo, etc.) there are only two ways you can prove its ownership:

1. by showing someone the certificate of ownership, and

2. by putting that specific NFT in the printed version

NFTs come with an image file. You can turn them into framed art in a few clicks.

What is NFT Art?

Non-fungible refers to something that’s one-of-a-kind. In other words, something unique. An example of this is a rare baseball card. When you buy a baseball card from a sports store, the card represents a specific player and his record.

The “non-fungible” aspect means that what’s been created is unique and scarce, in the same way that a one-of-a-kind baseball card can’t be copied. Most non-fungible tokens rely on a cryptocurrency called Ethereum to accomplish this. The token is code stored on the Ethereum blockchain that can be verified, transferred, and tracked, and which represents (or points to) some other piece of data like a video or image. So, this makes it very valuable because it is scarce and unique.

Can NFT be downloaded?

Yes, anyone can download and view the artwork.

There are no physical NFTs in the wallet; instead, the wallet contains digital ‘private keys’, which are simply passwords that lead to the source where your NFT is stored. Now, we are going to explain you how to get the source file to print, just because you are probably still asking you “Can you print NFT art”?

If anyone can download the art file, why would I print the NFT?

Because if you bought an NFT then your ownership of the artwork is recorded in the blockchain, and you are the only legitimate owner, which can be verified by all.

How to print and frame your NFT art?

Each NFT artwork should have a corresponding image file.  Whether you’re looking to create a unique collection of your favorite pieces of clothing, art, jewelry or other collectibles, NFTs give you an opportunity to express your creativity in ways you never thought possible.

How to get and source file Ethereum based tokens

Each NFT artwork should have a corresponding image file. 

You can use the OpenSea API to obtain the original image file for your item. First, find the OpenSea page for your item by entering its identifier in the URL. This will usually be a long string of numbers and letter signifying the collection, followed by a slash that indicates the specific item in that collection

Once you find that string, simply add it to this URL:

https://api.opensea.io/api/v1/asset/

This would bring you to a “Get Asset” page like this:

In the end, just click to original URL and download it.

How to get and source file Solana based NFTs

Go to https://solanart.io and find your NFT. Then click into it, and click “View Token” to see the metadata at Solana Explorer.

In the next window simply click on VIEW ORIGINAL, after it shows up right click and Save it to your hard disk.

Ok that is it 🙂 Once you found original image, you are ready to print it on the largest on-demand printing website Printify.
