Unlike traditional lithographs, a giclee requires little setup
and can be printed in low quantities. The print quality is usually
superior to lithographs or posters when a high quality digital
image is provided. What is more beneficial to you, is the fact
that we waive any setup cost even if you make only one
print.
A very talented self published artist wanted to sell prints
of her work. A couple years prior she had spent a fortune just
to have 250 lithographs made for only one of her paintings.
While a handful did gradually sell, she received a number of
inquiries from fans and galleries for prints of other paintings.
Because the demand and expense did not favor producing several
hundred lithographs of every one of a collection of over 20
paintings, she decided to go the giclee route and only order
a print when one was requested. This not only allowed her to
have a print made when her customer wanted one but also allowed
her to offer every one of her paintings as prints at no upfront
cost.
Our work flow allows for people to submit a high resolution digital
copy to a secure server. Immediately after the image is received
by the image server you can set the options you want. This will
includes final print size, media type, stretching and mounting
plus finishes. Prints can be as small as 8 x 8” or as large
as 32 x 60”.
Our pricing is usually 30 - 50% less than other fine
art printers. The actual price is based upon the size of the print
with some allowances
for volume discounting if necessary. The average markup is 100%
but some artists and photographers successfully mark up their prints
much more, especially if signed and numbered.
All of this is an ideal solution for anyone wanting to sell art
or photography. Online auctions and online stores don't even need
to create prints but just display a copy of the image to be
printed, while physical store fronts might keep a print on display
and accept
orders based
upon that sample.
One sports memorabilia fan offered copies of vintage baseball
stars from a collection of old photos his grandfather took
in baseball’s glory years. He posted scans of his photos
on several sports auction sites as 16 x 20 numbered prints
on canvas limited to a hundred each. Winning bids averaged
around $300 dollars per print. As he received orders, he in
turn placed an order with us. We then shipped to his customers
using his company name until he fulfilled the quantity he designated.
Because we handle the production and shipping we can have the
print delivered directly to you or your customer. What is more,
by indicating you want an order drop shipped, we will
remain completely transparent so that the order appears to have
been shipped from you, complete with your name and address as the
shipper on the shipping label and packing slip.
You do not have to setup an account with us. You can start offering
your prints for sale right now. Use our online pricing calculator
to predetermine the options you want to offer and get your price.
Markup the price as you see fit and only order from us when your
own customers order from you.
An elderly gentleman that was both an artist and photographer
would offer prints of his photography as well as his paintings.
If he needed to fulfill an order for a painting he would have
the print shipped to his studio where he would apply hi-lights.
If the print was for photography he had shot then he simply
had us ship the print direct to his customer unless.
We will produce and ship to you or your customer within the next
1 to 3 business days once production is complete.
