I've seen this multiple times now on conventions, artists booking a space for their booth and just... selling gay boys printed on paper wondering why they won't break even. Of course you won't break even, I can print art myself. You're also not a god-like artist that people fight over to stand in line for for over 10 hours just to get an autograph.
Seriously I don't get these people. There's multiple artists EVERY year who book a booth for every convention and they ALWAYS have the same, deadpan selection of stuff to sell: A bunch of cutesy food items with faces on it that are 0,5cm x 0,5cm in size, a really boring Tombola with an extremely average first place like "You get two of my artworks!" and worst of all, the main seller, art.
I know that printing someone else's art isn't fine dining but a very large minority of people who enjoy art will actually buy your stuff or subscribe to your Patreon.
