The costs are not really all that high. My girlfriend is a professional photographer and uses archival inks and materials, the printer she is currently using is one of the best out there. I just feel like there's something lost when an artist begins to digitally reproduce works, which IMO are better left as fine art pieces.

but it's important to the artist to get the image out to her fans in the best way possible. for A.K. that's a giclee.j_pawlish1476 wrote:MJBuck wrote:you do realize that there are costs associated with high quality in-jet prints right? paper, high quality archival inks, the machine, the artists time...j_pawlish1476 wrote:I love her work, but to pay $100+ for a high quality ink-jet print is ridiculous, IMHO.

If they were left as fine art pieces I wouldn't be able to display them on my walls. It would be me losing out.j_pawlish1476 wrote:MJBuck wrote:you do realize that there are costs associated with high quality in-jet prints right? paper, high quality archival inks, the machine, the artists time...j_pawlish1476 wrote:I love her work, but to pay $100+ for a high quality ink-jet print is ridiculous, IMHO.

And I completely understand that this is a way for her to get her pieces out to the masses. However, I just wish she was able to do something which was a bit more artistic, such as putting her works out as serigraphs.
actually, our main cost was the photography setup, which was specifically purchased to archive all of audrey's works. it was at least 5x the cost of the printing setup but we felt it necessary since the source image is the most important part of the process. if the image is crappy then the print will be crappy, no way around it. the materials that go into a print run aren't that expensive, it's just a huge amount of time and as we all know time = money.

It's crazy to think that this just sold for $440 on eBay and the last one available a month ago on eBay listed at $300 had no bids.
People are clueless!!!!!!!!!!!!

Six months ago, people would not take less than $500 for this pretty. I almost went for it. Glad I had some restraint and waited. I lucked out in the $300 range.
This print is lovely in person!!!!!!!!!!!!!
