How May I Help You?

Hi! I have assembled here the list of the most frequently asked questions to me below. They are organized by category.

Filter the FAQ categories by clicking the buttons below! If you can’t find your question, you can search the blog by using the search feature in the menu at the top.

My worksheet is not printing correctly (graphics are missing, etc.). What do I do?

If you are using an older version of a PDF reader (which happens a lot), then sometimes that PDF reader will have trouble communicating with your printer. You’ll know this is the case because some images will appear as black boxes, pages will print out blank, or pages will be divided up in a way that does not match what you are seeing on the computer screen.

Luckily, this is a problem that can be rectified in a few easy steps!

1. Download Adobe Reader (it’s free!).
2. Once Adobe Reader has downloaded, open it.
3. Open the worksheet file using the reader (go to File > Open).
4. Go to File > Print, and the result will be top-notch.

What kind of paper should I print my calligraphy worksheets on?

I recommend printing on 32# laserjet paper, which you can find at Amazon and some office supply stores.

I want to learn calligraphy, but am overwhelmed by the amount of information on the TPK site … where do I begin?

Look no further than this blog post!

Can I share digital files {such as calligraphy worksheets} with my friends?

I realize and recognize how easy it is to send and share files. Please understand, however, that Learn for a Latté worksheets are priced so low in order to make them affordable for individuals; and to discourage sharing. If you do intend to share with a friend, please be honest and pay for your friend’s worksheet as well. Each premium worksheet set takes months of time and energy to create, and I am so appreciative when learners respect that!

I have mastered one of the calligraphy styles offered on your website; can I use the style for profit?

Yes! If you put in the work to learn the style, I have no problem with you using it on invitation design, envelopes, whatever — whether it’s for personal or commercial use. The only thing I take issue with, really, is people distributing the actual worksheets to others who have not purchased the worksheet. Though the worksheets contain a lot of information, they are only $5.00 apiece so they can be affordable to anyone!

Do you have physical (already printed out) calligraphy worksheets that you can sell to me?

Not right now! There is a worksheet that comes in TPK’s starter kit, however. I hope to offer additional printed worksheets when I have the time to design them.

Where can I buy calligraphy supplies?

If you’re in the US (and even if you’re not), you can always check out TPK’s Supplies Shop! Also: see this page for a list of merchant recommendations in many different countries.

Which calligraphy worksheet should I start with?

If you’re a beginning calligrapher, I’d recommend starting with Beginner’s Modern Calligraphy Online Course. Once you’ve completed that course and you have the hang of the basics, you can choose the calligraphy worksheet that appeals most to you! Alternatively, fill out a Not Your Average Calligraphy Drills worksheet. Any practice is good practice, and if you can make it fun by taking on a style or a pointed pen project that you like, you’re sure to stick with calligraphy.

What supplies do I need to begin learning calligraphy?

For the answer to this question, I recommend reading the following blog posts:

I want to learn calligraphy … how long will it take me?

Everyone has different learning styles and learning times, so it’s impossible to definitively say how long it will take you to learn calligraphy. I’d recommend a “time budget” of anywhere from two weeks to two months to complete the Beginner’s Modern Calligraphy Online Course

What’s the advantage of having an account on TPK?

Having an account on The Postman’s Knock gives you 24/7 reliable access to any and all files you have purchased or downloaded for free from TPK. I personally find unnecessary emails to be annoying, so as an account holder you won’t get any extra inbox-clogging messages. Having an account is really just like having your own personal little file cabinet of files on the TPK website. If for some reason you lose a file on your computer or in your email inbox, it will be on your account at TPK!

You can create an account on TPK here.

If you are a TPK account holder, any digital files you own will be in your account.

Once you purchase a digital product on TPK, you will be taken to an order confirmation page that includes the link to download that digital product. You will also be sent an email containing the download link to the digital product {if you do not receive this email, check your SPAM folder}.

If you are a TPK account holder, any downloads {both free and purchased} will also be available for download from your account. Having an account on TPK is like having your own personal “file cabinet” on this website, and it’s accessible from any computer! If you do not have an account, you can create one by clicking here.

Can I commission you to create custom work?

As TPK has grown (and so has my family), the time I can allocate for custom work has significantly decreased. In most cases, the only custom work I usually do is for books and magazines. If you work for a publishing company, please feel free to get in touch with me at [email protected] Here is a list of publishers and magazines I have worked with in the past:
