nice paintings, I hope your prints have come out well - Im based in Edinburgh and do printing too so let me know if you would like paper samples.

This post was mentioned on Twitter by eolai: ImageKind have removed limits on uploads, so now I’ll set about adding to my 18 paintings available as prints http://url.ie/1z9a...

Copyright stays 100% with the artist. ImageKind explain fully on their site here.

The artist doesn’t pay anything up front, instead a base price per print goes to ImageKind as and when each order is placed, and the markup goes to the artist.

ImageKind will only print from high quality photos. If you look at any particular painting above and click on the available print sizes, you will see that many of the larger sizes are crossed out. That is because the photo uploaded wasn’t of a resolution high enough to produce a high quality print of that size (in my case usually of sizes much bigger than the original painting).

Because every painting is different, and every photo of a painting is taken under different circumstances of different sizes, and every print is available in different sizes, and everybody sees them reproduced on monitors of different resolutions, there’s no great meaning in showing a side-by-side comparison. ImageKind do offer full refunds for people not happy but I think their quality control should catch any photos not good enough to trigger even the smallest available print.

Peace.

Technically I could set things up so that orders come to me and I then order from ImageKind, sign and number and then send on to the customer - but that level of interception would double shipping expenses, processing fees, and probably currency conversion charges too - it’s not really practical as it would generate a chunk more work for less income overall.

Unfortunately there’s no automatic way to do a limited print run using a print-on-demand service other than just cutting them off after X orders.

However I definitely forsee (signed and numbered) limited print runs down the road just not with any of these. I’m simply not in any position right now to finance even a limited number of Giclee prints but I do definitely plan to.
