EMEK crazies

Giclees on dictionary paper glued to a stock mat. Oof.

My desire to acquire one of these has declined dramatically.

Yeah man, I’d go as far to say that you’ve dodged a bullet (at least at the prices on the secondary market).

I disagree - I have the 1st edition and it looks awesome in person. Run of 500 is a little extreme, but personally I love that it comes pre-matted, just pop it in an off the shelf frame and hang it immediately - not every print on the wall needs the royal framing treatment, especially a run of 500 2nd edition - but IMO a worthwhile pickup if you dig the image and don't have the 1st

Cool.

Update on the Art Center’s handling of my damaged shipment. They (Lora) responded in an apologetic manner, and worked with me to come to a satisfactory conclusion. They thanked me for the very detailed suggestions I gave them on packing and shipping.

All in all, I evaluate how a situation is handled. They handled my situation very well, exhibiting exemplary customer service. I’ll likely do business with them again in the future.

Glad to hear that.....I'll have to go through that process myself with them, the print I received today is brutal.

Pics or GTFO.

i'd agree with this if it was a $20 print...wasn't this thing $115?

[lightyears2010]

not to mention the listing says screen print. i won't use the term bait and switch, but let's just say i'd be less than thrilled if i had bought one.

I agree with this. I had the dictionary print and it looked great in person. And let's be honest here, it's a print on dictionary paper. It's a novelty more than anything, especially for those that weren't able to pick up the FTW print.

Man, if giclees are only $20 there are a few I've overpaid on.

i'm saying i wouldnt throw a $115 print into an off the shelf frame. a $20 print maybe. but $115 needs archival framing.

Sounds like rick got some serious sugar for all that gravy poured in here

What artists on Emeks level sell $20 limited edition prints? let alone ship them pre-matted? I see it as added value, and anyone complaining about the mat must hate free stuff! Given the 1st edition was selling ~$500 after TRPS, this is clearly a cash grab, so I dont see how anyone could expect EMEK to price this any lower than $100 + Shipping (which is essentially what this cost since shipping was free)

You can still get a ready made 11x14 frame, and upgrade the glass to UV super easy and cheap, but if you insist on going the custom framing route for all your prints, than any good framer can get creative and figure out how to work around the existing mat... Really a non-issue, and a win win for most people imo

I don't think anyone is debating that this service exists. But how do you know this is what Emek is using to print these?
