thanks for the info Dean. This is a good start on the pricing. Most of the production shop in my area, charge large format digital output by the square foot. The pricing ranges from $15 - 25 per square foot. That seems like a lot to me. The sure their per cost foot os no were near that. and there is a hefty markup. I am a one man operation, and with relative low over head at this point. I want to provide a afford service to start and raise my price as I grow and built a reputation for publishing top quality prints, I'm not looking to do large runs. but small limited editions. Does anyone know about distribute system of contemporary artist's prints?
