This is a new exciting project.

What is a "Print It Yoursef" Gallery?

These days many of our readers have the same printers that we use to print portfolio prints. The direct printing process is not that complicated if you know the basics about today's inkjet printers (if not read our new book "The Art Digital Fine Art printing".

A traditional portfolio print works this way:

• We take the picture (this is the essential artistic part)
• We prepare the image for final printing (this is the hardest part and also part of the artistic expression)
• We print the photo on our printer
• Sign the print
• Matte the print or just send the print in a tube
• Ship the physical print

"Print It Yourself" printing works like this:

• We take the picture (this is the essential artistic part)
• We prepare the image for final printing (this is the hardest part and also part of the artistic expression)
• We send you an electronic image (very low compression JPEG)
• We grant you a license to print the image for personal use
• You print the photo on you printer
• You can matte the print or not

Both ways have their advantages:

Traditional:

• Print is signed
• You don't need to bother with printing

"Print It Yourself":

• You save good money
• You have the pleasure of printing
• You can select the paper of choice
• We get you a watermarked ready to print photo for your inspection (try before you buy)

Please read carefully the licensing document. At a first glance it may look restrictive. But the basic idea is that you get in the end the same rights as if we would send you a ready print. This if more like buying furniture and you do the assembly. All the restrictions are related to the fact that you receive the photo in electronic form. We hope you understand.
