hmmm nice idea but without an a3 or bigger printer, might aswell just print from one of your lower res your images. i think most people would do that.

still if someone has a printers account somewhere (like me) id buy and get one printed big size, but id guess most ppl will rip an image and only ever print at home a4 size.

the printers i use gives new customers a free 10 dollars credit when they sign up so that could work ok.


lovin your recent works mate, just been checkin what ive missed, sick.

I don't think it is a good idea. If people want prints then they have to pay for the ink in their printers. If they print it out at home, then chances are that the printed vresion will not meet/match the high resolution that your file iis in. If this is the case, then people could just print it out at the quality which is poted on here already. If somone wants a good quality print and take the file to say kinkos or something, then they have to pay the ridiculous price they charge on top of what you charge (I don't actually know what kinkos charges for high quality color prints on good paper, but I know they charge around $11 to scan an 11 x 14 pic and convert it to jpg.). I think it would be cheaper, less hasle, and present the best product if the artist made some good prints and sold them. I know you may not have the money for that, but I think it is the best idea. Just my objective opinion. Doing good with the shirts, so keep that up!

Yeah Jay (Zombie) was thinking of doing it, and I was thinking about it myself, but I'm a little wary about it just based on already getting my art bitten pretty bad. I can actually get prints done fairly inexpensive, and I would probably do it case by case... It was just an option to make things more accessible. But I can see this going sour pretty fast.

Yeah that's pretty much why I didn't just do it.

I would say yes. Only reason i still dont have that 'dead sexy' shirt, is because paypal takes a year and a half to transfer funds.

last time it took 2 weeks. it estimates '5 business days' but it really depends on your bank.
