I received a request for a canvas print of my Skyline, 2005 shot where they suggested that I deal directly with the buyer.

The buyers is in England and offered UK£50.00. So I'm trying to figure out if I decide to sell, how and where's the best...most painless way to execute the transaction.

My file is 3600x1800. I'm hoping whatever company will print whatever size I/they choose and I want to keep the full amount that they offered for the print.

You can get it printed through Foto Time. You can open a fotoStudio Account, then the buyer can purchase the canvas print through there. The print can be priced by you ($100) and I think Fototime will charge you $40 so that would be a $60 profit.

ImageKind let's you keep 100%.

I guess you set a price and mark it up, print and shipping???

That's a sticking point for me, as well. I print up to 40 inches long on many images including that one and they look fine. I'm hoping to find a company that will print whatever I want as I don't think it's their call on what size I can/should have. If I want it 100 feet long, just print it.

Go establish a pro account at canvasondemand.com (just give 'em your DPC profile as your Web site) and you get an $84 coupon good for anything.

LOTS of people, including me, have taken advantage of this. Rossbilly started a thread where you can read about our very positive experiences.

I probably won't sell at that price but I thought I'd look into the cost before I re-negotiate, to keep everyone happy and still make the sale.

I don't see your panoramas in your portfolio. Is there a link where you have them for sale?

For this size, the giclee on canvas would run about $125 plus shipping $15.
