Here you will find everything you need to start your own print sales business in your local store, flea market, mall kiosk, art gallery, etc. You may already be doing this. If so, please add my prints to your collection of prints for sale.
You may wish to sell just a single print (not mounted or matted) or sell them mounted/matted and ready to frame or completely framed. Selling ready to frame and framed prints will allow you to sell them for a lot more than just a single print.
I will show you where to purchase all you need to do all of the above from this website. I will show you where to purchase clear plastic envelopes, mounting boards, backing boards, and archival pre-cut mats for your print sales.
I sell my own prints retail ready to frame for $65 to $75 depending on the size. You can add a frame and sell them for up to $185 to whatever the market is in your area.
There are LINKS to the left showing where to purchase all items to sell your prints to your customers. However you sell my prints you will definitely need the clear plastic envelopes for individual prints or ready to frame prints. I use the same size for both. But, it really does protect your prints from dust and oily finger prints from handling by your customers. I order them by 100 per size for $26 (16x20), $38 (18x24), $32 (17x22) and $15 (11x14). The size of the envelopes are oversized (16 7/16 x 20 1/4), etc. so they will hold your print, mounting and mat. I have even went to Lowe's and had them cut a 4' x 8' x 1/8" piece of hard board (masonite) into 16x20 or 18x24 pieces and used them to mount my prints to using archival adhesive I purchase by the gallon from DickBlick.com. Cost for one 16x20 is about .90 ea. But, ClearBags.comhas mounting boards and clear plastic envelopes so you can order them together when you place your order.

Here is where I purchase all my archival mats for my prints. They come with a mounting board also:
I do require you to register so I know just who has access to my volume print sales. I do not share your information with anyone, period. You can also add your email address to my mailing list to receive future info and updates to my site.
My single print sales are on a very expensive archival 133 lb. archival acid-free art paper. So I will be selling my volume print sales on a little cheaper paper to cut my costs. It is an Epson archival lighter weight paper and it is suited for my prints. The artwork quality is the same.
On this website you will find links to areas showing instructions for mounting, matting, and framing of the prints for your customers. I realize a lot of you already know this information but there are others who do not know how to do this.
So if you are ready to register please fill out registration form below. After registering you will be taken to a page where you will find your password to the Volume Print Order page. Please print the page for your records.
