Many people are new to the idea of digitally downloading art, so we thought it would be helpful for us to walk you through the process.
One of the biggest advantages to purchasing a digital download is — in addition to being a lot more affordable than an original or a print — you can have access to it instantly. Not only that, but you can purchase it once and print it out up to five times.
Furthermore, you can use the printer of your choice to print out one download in multiple sizes on many different papers or canvases. There is a lot of flexibility with digital prints.
So how do you purchase a digital download on your phone? Start off by going to klingcollective.com and tapping the three lines in the top left corner of the screen.
That opens the menu where you can tap “Catalog” to see all the available art. Once you scroll down, click something you like. You can swipe sideways through the pictures to see different views of the painting. Once you've decided on a painting, scroll down and tap "Add To Cart". A button appears that you can tap to check out.
Next, add your contact information, select your preferred method of payment and tap “Pay Now”.
It will say your order is being processed. This part can take from several seconds up to a minute. Then it will let you know it’s preparing your downloads. It will give you a “Download Now” button to tap.
It will ask if you want to download the painting, so you will tap "Download Now" and you should be able to see at the bottom of the screen the download is starting.
Once it’s downloaded, tap the letter As in the bottom left corner and look for the blue dot next to downloads. It means you have a new download. Tap that and then tap the magnifying glass to go to your download folder.
If the painting you chose has multiple sizes, it will be a compressed zip file. Tap the zip file, and it will expand into a folder. Next, tap the folder and will see all the different files that you can use to print in different sizes and dimensions.
Now, you have the choice whether you want to print your new painting at home, have it printed by a local printing company, or use an online printing company. You could even make the painting a Lock Screen for your phone. There are lots of great options to enjoy your new art.

One really convenient option for printing your new art is to go to the Amazon app or to Amazon.com and search for the size print you want. In addition to different sizes, you can choose whether you want matte or glossy. If you're an Amazon Prime member, shipping will often be free.
Once you've chosen the size and finish, you can tap the Get Started button. It will take you to a page where you can add your new art. Once your new art is uploaded, it will give you a preview so you can see whether you need to crop the image at all. If no cropping is needed, you simply tap the checkout in the upper right corner and click the "Place You Order" button.
In just a few days, you'll receive your new print in your mailbox for a very low price.
