My cost for matting and framing is only $30. Gallery makes some nice wood frames that sell for around $15, and I use precut mats that sell for $10. I print my own pigment inkjets on an Epson R2400. So even when using the best Epson papers my cost is only about $5 a print. The gallery where I sell most often gets as much as $3000 for some very large prints and typically more like $500 for a print in the range of 11 x 14. But I have found that it's better to go for volume. But most of my sales are in conjunction with fee-based shoots, so the print sales are just gravy on top of the fee. If a subject buys three prints at $30 per, I pocket an extra $75. Paul -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Adam Maas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > That's fairly cheap.
