I am getting back into painting and just had some cards made up of two of my paintings where I work, I'm in the printing business. Didn't know how many or how much to sell them for but thanks to your site it has been a big help figuring it out. Love your site Alyson!

Are you happy with the packaging? I am wondering how many you include in a box and what the box cost you… also, are they color or B&W photos and what you sell them for.

I usually package 5 in a clear acetate envelope and sell for 8.00 -10.00. Also I have used my account on Fine Art America to print on demand -25 5 X 7 cards for 37.50. The quality is good and I usually sell those for 3.00 each.

Fast, economic and great quality. http://paulsencommunications.ca/ For more personal notes, I have had many of my works printed in a line of notecards, greeting cards, and mini-cards on some great quality linen-finish heavier cardstock, with a nice decal-edged envelope. I use those all the time. TIP:: When/if you do a print run and the stock you are printing on is suitable for notecards, take the time to work with your printer to ensure you are using ALL of the sheet that goes through the press. Often, there is extra room on the sheet for additional printing and images. Use it and devise something with your artwork on it. Even bookmarks are a wonderful addition to your line, and handy promotional pieces. If I am sending someone something very special, I'll use good drawing paper, and take the time to sketch or paint something on it - this way, my "special person" has an original!
