I'm curious about this as well. If no service exists, does anyone happen know what types of printers work best for these? I'd be willing to try it myself if I knew where to start.

I sell prints of public domain art on Etsy. Until the pandemic I produced the prints myself, but now I use print-on-demand companies like Printful or Gooten. There are similar companies out there, but these are a good balance of price and quality.

Please share the URL to your shop :)

Very nice! Is there a way to provide feedback on a given item? For example, this[1] seems to have a typo in the title (and thus the URL).

I'm sure you've already thought of this, but it's pretty easy to see how to monetize this by affiliate-linking out to a print/frame provider.

Something isn't right with the resolutions: Standard, 1164 x 2400px JPG, Size: 3.55 MB, 300dpi Max Size, 1940 x 4000px JPG, Size: 9.63 MB, 300dpi They can't be both 300dpi (unless your dpi settings doesn't have anything to do with the physical size of the original artwork, in which case why bother with dpi settings at all?).

One possibility is that the level of compression is different in the two jpgs, that could account for a lot of filesize difference. But really dpi doesn't mean much when you know the pixel dimesnions[1].

This is perhaps more reasonable for the community to troubleshoot, but do you know why there's no thumbnail showing up for tools like https://iframely.com/ ? Over on lemmy I'd like to post more of these but the preview isn't working. https://dev.lemmy.ml/c/artworks I rate about a 0.1/10 at front-end knowledge so I poked a bit but couldn't quite figure it out.

Really nice. Does anyone have a recommendation for a service which print such images as posters at a reasonable price?

A little different from posters, but if you're looking for something a little more durable I've had success with CanvasChamp for canvas wraps: https://www.canvaschamp.com/

In comparison to other sites I've used their framing is much more sturdy. Never had any issues with flexing or anything. Good quality printing, and very

If you want more art in your life in general, please see the Twitter bots from https://twitter.com/andreitr . (I've tried to get him onto Mastodon/Fediverse as well, but he's looking for the right instance.)

https://botsin.space/about/more might be worth a look since it's primarily for Fediverse bots.

For prints Costco and Walmart have some crazy low prices and they often advertise them as archival quality as well.

FYI, you can get ICC profiles fo Costco printers and papers as well.

Here's listing for California Costcos: https://www.drycreekphoto.com/icc/Profiles/California_profil...
