thanks. rob.

Absolutely!

Sounds like a great idea for those who exhibit alot!
ps- yes, must have the glass/perspex.

And here is my answers.
1. Yes
2. No
3. N/A
4. Yes
5. Yes
6. Yes..are you considering adding postcards to products

Great work by the way.

totally agree with the above

Matted prints are a brilliant idea …. customers seem to have such varying ideas of what actual frames they like, and the interchangeable frames is also a very clever idea!

Matted print sounds good to me, and yes I’d be thrilled to sell my work any way it’s offered. The interchangeable frame is also a good idea, because the finished size of 17×23 inches isn’t quite standard, at least in the US, so having something available for the matted print is super. I like the idea of swapping pics out, which looks easy to do from the photo above. I would vote no for glass but a definite yes for a non-glare acrylic, especially if it were UV protected.

Yes to everything! Great idea!

Oops – brilliant idea … non reflective perspex too!

Sounds good i would love to see the finished product!!!

Sounds like a great idea…WTG bubble!

Matted prints sound good, but I would like to see more of a selection in the types of frames offered as well for regular framed work.

there are sites out there( such as www.lul.com) that produce “coffee table” books of prints, usually with 50-80 full page shots, either glue bound, spiral bound or the like….any plans to produce anything like that before i order one through other site

Great idea, postcard collections would be a great way forward!

Yep – all sounds good. Matt prints are much better for some images.

Thats great news RB thanks for the prompt response

Love the idea of matted prints! Much prefer these over the mounted ones. Will definately put my stuff up for sale in this format. I would also really, really love to see wider mattes available both framed and unframed.

(And still hanging out for the business cards too!)

‘YES’ in answer to all questions 1-5.
My question: Will mattes be available in a range of colours besides just black and white?

Probably the same colours we have now – how important is it to have more colours?

Oh, and PS, the new frame definately needs glass/perspex. And I second Mundy’s request for a wider selection of frame styles.

1-5 Yes ~ a good positive move ~ well done

Matted print sound great, the frame as well. I’d just be happy to sell my art!! I’m all for postcards too.

Fantastic Idea on the Matted prints…....Yes to all Questions. (Glass over Perspex)

Matted prints would be a great idea.

I think the colours you have now work just fine …. although it could be interesting to throw an 18% grey into the mix …....

It all sounds good. Now, if I could sell work…...

yes to 1-5, no other questions

Yes to all questions!!

How about books? (Coffee table type, if you know what i mean)

G’day RB,

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?
YES!” But why not accepted standard photograph sizes? ie 8×10, 8×12, 16×20 and even an 8×8

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?
YES!* To suit standard photograph sizes as above.

3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame?
YES! Glass preferably.

4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?
YES!

5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?
See above!

6. What other questions do we need to answer?
a. What will be the colour range in matts? I suggest basic black, white and very light cream!
b. A simple basic black frame for monochrome would be good!

GB
Dennis

great idea sounds like a winner to me hope to see it very soon

Yes – great idea and also really interested in the postcards.

OK…like it…Agree with Tiffany on glass and frame…..

Yes, absolutely on all counts. I’m IN. Many thanks for your efforts!

I am excited about the matted prints. Thanks for expanding the choices!

Yes…....I’ve been wishing for matted prints for a while ! Great idea! Thank you !

Other matte colours could be dark green,navy blue,silver etc…?

I think the matted prints is a fantastic idea. All sounds good to me. You guys are doing a great job.

The matted prints are a great ides, yes I would be happy to sell my prints in matted frames. Is there any chance we will eventually get different colored matts? I am excited about this.

—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—

Are color, coffee-table styled books of prints in your future?
LuLu does them, but i would love to create one with Red Bubble :)

Outstanding Idea… Yes

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? yes i like alot of my work in matt!

5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints? the usual
6. What other questions do we need to answer? do you offer different paper types? ... cant say i could see the option!

yeah i think that the postcard idea is really good and would definatly sell also the matted prints are also a good idea .

yeah i think that the postcard idea is really good and would definatly sell also the matted prints are also a good idea .

Yes to 1,2,4,5
Optional = 3
6 no!

Would definitely be interested in matted prints and the interchangable frame.

I think it needs size options like we already have (although that could do with expanding on all fronts!)

I’d be happy to sell art as a matted print, people may want a particular frame they want to match their decor/existing frames, but at the moment that isn’t an option.

I prefer glass over perspex.

Maybe put the art on something useful such as a kitchen hot trivit?
Or wall paper border or curtain valance? These are things people already buy without selecting art.

It would be a good way for someone buying to become familar with the art and perhaps return to buy larger, framed (more expensive) pieces?

what a great idea,i cant wait to see the original product!

A fantastic idea….you guys never fail to make my images look one rung further up the ladder…knowing if they are bought they will end up presented in a quality way is a real incentive for me to try and get better! A resounding yes on all fronts from me!

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?

Yes

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?

Yes

3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)?

I think glass would be nice.

4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?

Definitely!

5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?

We should always give the customer options.

6. What other questions do we need to answer?

Shipping costs are one of my concerns. How much will the cost be for standard vs. express? Will these items be shipping from Australia or elsewhere, and will that affect the cost for standard or express shipping? With the current express shipping cost on cards and framed prints being ridiculously high versus laminated and mounted prints, no one will ever pay for express shipping if these new items follow the same model.

Yes to all the questions… I’d definitely be interested in a 16 by 24 with an extra wide matt… signature matt for wedding photos.

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Not sure
4) Yes
5) Yes

Cheers RB !

yes great idea

outstanding yes yes yes yes

Absolutely. Variety is a must in today’s market!!

Yes to Questions 1-5, N/A to Question #6

brilliant news re the book…i will wait for you guys then..cheers

I agree with dmosher, variety is a must…

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? YES

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in? YES

3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame? Yes

4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print? YES

5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints? YES

6. What other questions do we need to answer?

Here where I live , when you go to an artists market most of the artists do sell their work with the matte only. I donot want to invest money in frames cause then I have to raise the selling price of my artwork. I want to sell artwork not frames.

People tend to want to fame it themselves whether its a cheap frame from WallMart or an expensive one from a framing store.

Mattes only from RB is a great idea

YES on 1-5….no other q’s (for 6)

mat,,,,yes
glass ,,yes
frames,,,,,,,,quality frames,,,,,the frame and mount makes the image

yes to all, brill idea

I think this is a great idea! The more options the better as everyone’s tastes differ.

I am hoping to see more products available as time goes on, such as clocks, aprons, Redbubble jackets with images on the back, etc….

I agree with Dennis Gay about the normal sizes. 17×23 is kind of an odd frame size isn’t it. Wouldn’t 18×24 be more standard?

Sounds like a great idea. A variety of product is always a good idea. My only question is what is the print made on – E.g: Kodak Endura, Fuji Crystal Archive, etc. ?

Yes yes yes to all -!! Excellent idea! My only concerns is the standard sizes – we have standard 11×14, 8×10 etc here in Canada – would be great to have those standard sizes available.

Great idea. Also see if you can print Aussie stamps like the US ones Zazzle does. Aussie Post will most likely not let you, which would be very short sighted of them…

cool

Great Idea! I would prefer glass or something in front of the print.

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? Absolutely
2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in? Yes, wonderful idea!
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)? personally, I have no preference at this time
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print? I’d be happy to sell anything! LOL, seriously, I would be overjoyed to sell one of my works as a matted print!! :-)
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints? That would be great!!
6. What other questions do we need to answer? None that I can think of at this time.

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?
YES

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?
YES

3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)?
YES – If non reflective

4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?
Definitely

5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?
YES – standard 10×8, 16×12 prints sizes etc

6. What other questions do we need to answer?
None that I can think of!

Yes to all.

Great idea.. rounds off your supply options well.
Naturally offer of larger sizes at later date as need and demand shows is welcomed.
I don’t think it needs to have hanging option as I see this as a ready form for persons to buy and frame in own or off the shelf form….just check on what is standard size ?
The mounted prints now provide the hanging look version.
Also please make it without artists name title option! Thanks for ongoing upgrades…
Just provide the matte in white and black options to begin with would be good.

Matted all the way!

Yeah , good idea, the more to offer the customer, the better I think!

Both sound good to me too…

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes / although glass would be nicer, maybe for posting perspex is better. Other companies seem to think it gets too heavy, also it breaks easy. Something to pinder on.
4. Most definitely!
5. Yes, although I can´t convert the sizes to inches that quick – we measure in cm :-)
6. Not at the moment …

when I have my images matted and framed I use over sized mats to present a strong view of the image. I find this really promotes sales as a “work of art”. Since image sizes vary it could work for both the matting and interchangeable framing if a set of standard sized images are agreed upon across the range, including panoramics. For glass, I’d make sure it is UV protected. Overall, I like the prospect of having a finished image available that is matted and ready to hang.

1.2.3.4.5 YES!
I’d have been even more interested in postcards.

Any new options are welcome. The more products available for sale the more possibility of making a sale. Bring it on!

Oh yeah as others mentioned post cards would be very welcome, as well as mugs, hats, sweatshirts, whatever else you can come up with.

The more products the better…...we need sweaters, hoodies, mugs, hats etc too!!

1-5 yes – need option of being able to title also (buyer selectable)
6 – Postcards

Yes. Minus the Frames

Q’s 1-5 = yes. Current range of colours good. Wondering if glass vs perspex would make much difference to postage costs? Would prefer glass. Agree with Jaeda re standard sizes. If someone wanted to frame their own (e.g. to match other framed art in their home) it would be nice to be able to do this easily.

Great idea!!!

Yes, I think new ideas and products are always good and worth a try. Thanks!

Anything that gives a customer more choice is fine by me! Great idea.

I like the idea…yes to all… also may i suggest a larger choice of colors for the mats…

I think it’s a great idea as well, but like I’ve seen some say as I’ve gone down the list, I would love to see Postcards, and photobooks, as well as many other items, but I know you have to do as you can… and we will wait upon YOU!
Thanks….

yes to all if available in common sizing (11×14, 8×10, etc.0

go for it

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?
not personally
2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?
personally no, since it would cost too much to ship to UK
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)?
choice of glass or perspex, including UV protection
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?
yes
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?
very definitely yes
a single ratio restricts the number of images its suited to (basically only uncropped 35mm and DSLRs). 3:2 is not a particulatly harmonious ratio, and doesn’t match most paper sizes
a single size restricts where a buyer can use it.
6. What other questions do we need to answer?

it all sounds like a great idea.
more than one size would seem best.
and yes i would sell my artwork this way too.

yay! glad to hear about the matted prints!!!

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? yes, most definitely!

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in? yes again!

3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)? either way works for me!

4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print? yes indeed!

5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints? that would be cool, too….

6. What other questions do we need to answer? can’t think of any at the moment….

thanks so much…i look forward to it!

I would love the matted print. Not sure about sizes though.

A great idea. Have you guys thought about doing Jigsaw puzzles could be good as gifts? Tony

I guess my answer is mostly “yes”.

I like the option to the buyer to purchase my work in a number of different ways and formats,as long as they have the choice of colors,sizes.The more options RedBubble can offer,the better!.

AV

matt option would be great for the buyer although my preference is gloss, any ideas for new peroducts has got to be a plus for those selling and buying

Matted prints sound great.
I would like to see each matted print covered in clear plastic packaging.
I would intend on buying prints and selling them to potential clients, customers can handle the matted print without the risk of leaving dirty fingerprints on unsold stock

yes to all of the questions,
it would be great if standard sizes too.

forgot to say you guys rock

BRILLENT IDEA!

yes to 1-5, would also like to see other standard sizes offered, and like the idea of clear plastic packaging as Mark mentioned

The matted print is an excellent idea, different sizes would be an outstanding option as well. Plexy glass with the framing would also be an excellent choice.

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? yes 4 sure
2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in? definately
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)? definately glass if it is perspex i dont want it
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print? yes
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?yes
it would cut the cost down on entering local exhibitions to have an interchangeable frame great idea.

Yes to all. Great idea. Now I really have a goal to strive for & that being larger prints than the ones I’ve been sending in.

1) I Think this is great but I totally agree with Dennis Gay in regards to the different sizes 8×10,8×12,and 16×20 etc.
2) Yes
3) I think Glass would be better
4) i am not too sure because I feel that some art looks great in Matte where other look awesome in gloss. (Hopepfully, we would be able to choose.
5) SEE ABOVE BUT yes.
6)Okay, I am on a roll. :o) so I will continue. I would really like to see more colour to choose from Example: When you go hit Laminated Prints in there, is only white and black) It would be nice to have more colours to choose from. Also, I see that there is no T-shirts for little kids.It would be nice if we could have that and PAJAMAS (even with the feet in them), There has been so much art work where I have thought it would be cute on pjamas, HOODIES, mugs. I am not too sure where I was reading it on Red Bubble but Is it true that if you buy a large t-shirt that it stll fits small??? What about going internation sizes?? (I have no idea how that works LOL. but something to think about. I have been kinda hesitating on buyin T-shirts after I read that. If someone could answer that It would be great. Also, in the clothes department it would be nice if we could have even more colours but wild. Also, maybe even different textures (Example ; Satin) Couldn’t think of anything eles except for that. LOL but you know what I mean??
Also, why not a box where you can choose pictures and it does a slide show. Have different amounts in the box ( like 25,50,75.,100 pictures) Like a slide show. If you are not too sure on what I am talking about ask me and I will tell more. :o)
Oh, one more thing. On T-shirt it would really be nice if we could somehow do a back and front. You know how you have sayings on the front and than you turn to the back and it tells the answer???
Well, that is all I can think of now. Who knows maybe I will come back and say something elese.

I knew I forgot something ;o) What about baby stuff???? I think that would be very cool, somehow, putting pictures into blankets. little t-shirts. There is alot of people on Red Bubble where they do kids designs that would be great but you can’t get it from red bubble.

I knew I forgot something ;o) What about baby stuff???? I think that would be very cool, somehow, putting pictures into blankets. little t-shirts. There is alot of people on Red Bubble where they do kids designs that would be great but you can’t get it from red bubble.

1 = yes
2 = yes
3 = yes if i was living closer
4 = yes
5 = what will be the fees for shipping and handling to europe for example ?

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes. The whole product would look incomplete without the glass.
4. Yes. I would love to be able to purchase and sell my prints already matted.
6. Yes. I photograph with the intent to produce large prints 16×20 up to 20×30.
5. Will the mattes only come inblack and white.

Something simple but effective yes

Yes to all.

awsome idea. i like.

Would love for that to be an option. Yes to all.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Glass
4. Yes
5. Yes

Can’t wait to see the postcards.

Keep up the good work.

1. Eh, likely not… it doesn’t differ very much from what is already offered.
2. Very much no… indeed, I hate to say this may be the worst idea I’ve yet heard of RB considering implementing.
3. If it actually made it through to production, adding the glass would make it just a cheaper version of the Framed Print, unless of course one opts for the changeable frame, which would push it over the top to a “in fits of mania only” purchase.
4. I can’t really say… depends on the work.
5. If you’re going to do it, yes, most definitely, three or four ideally.
6. Do you think perhaps we can think outside of the box a bit more for the next addition to selling forms… I mean, we are in a bubble, let’s get some more round-about thinking going on…

Great options!

A yes to all from me as well to all…

Oh, one other thing (after being such a downer as far as my opinion of mounted prints are concerned, here’s a more positive note).
As artists we have to get our names out there, right? So how about letter-heads, stationary, business cards, heck, even artist bio pamphlets. I think getting those who produce work on RB to gain some notoriety of their own could only help bring more “front-door” buyers to the site.

Artwork of any kind looks more professionally finished once matted and framed, and yes to glass. Thanks for your constant ideas, keep them coming.
I’d like to get postcards as well.

1. YES – definitely!
2. Maybe – would need more info.
3. Personally I would want the glass for protection, but it would be nice to have the option.
4. YES.
5. The more options, the better!
6. Would the artist’s name be printed anywhere? I’m thinking no, but would like to know for sure. (I prefer not.)

1. Yes, they can be really good for galleries and small spaces where reflections are an issue.
2. Personally I would almost always want white.
3. I would definitely want glass or perspex in front. A reflection reduced glass/perspex would be even better.
4. Yes.
5. A6 up to A2 (maybe even A1 sometimes).

ALL of the above hangs on the “MATT” prints being on SMOOTH MATT paper, NOT textured (like watercolour paper).

this is an excellent idea!!

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?

Yes, a very good idea

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?

Yes

3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)?

Yes

4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?

Yes

5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?

Other sizes would be good (eg 8×12 print with a 12×16 matt as this is a fairly standard frame size)

6. What other questions do we need to answer?

No

...actually, I just had an afterthought. In the past when you have introduced new products, I have had to go in individually and update every image – which was very time consuming.

Is there any way to just automatically add the option to all of my work when this comes in.

Sounds just great!

A nice addition … yes to all.

oh yes yes yes..Excellent idea.. Love it

great idea for the matted print.

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?
yes, great option
2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?
interesting idea – but it would only work for standard sizes – anyone who crops their work at all wouldn’t benefit (I think? umm – tricky)
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame?
yes
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?
absofinglutely
5. What other questions do we need to answer?
more mat color choices* I know screens vary, but if artist could say purchase a sample kit of the mats you’re offering, then only offer the colours they think are suitable for the print, it would be a plus.

oops I skipped a question – that’ll teach me to copy from someone else (and attempt to cover a bad word with an asterisk – lol)

5 should have been…. other mat sizes?
Yes, more sizes = more options for the buyer. Buyers like options.

Ya got my vote :)

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? – Definitely

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in? – Sounds good

3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame? – A Must !!

4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?- Happy to sell anything

5. What other questions do we need to answer?- Think you’ve covered most things

Good luck !!

Very Very happy and love the idea of the Matted Print. So if your pic is an odd size though it sounds like it could not be offered matted?!! But I like the idea anyhow!

Hello!!

Re the questions… it all sounds great… here ar my answers to your Q’s RB..
1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? ......Yes, defo!
2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in? Yes, absolutely!
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)? You are the experts! depends of cost i guess, in utem and shipping.. but sounds great!
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print? Yes
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints? choice would be nice…
6. What other questions do we need to answer? costing of shippings?

I hope it goes ahead as i recently bought some cards and i am so impressed!!!!! Thanks

Yes to all.
A very good question was raised about ratios. I assume the print would be cropped to suit the matt? We need to standardise on dimensions, or at least ratios across the board so that what we upload is what is printed.
Oh, and PLEASE no Redbubble or artists details on the front.

This is great.

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? – yes definitely!
2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in? – not so much for my pruposes
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)?
would prefer glass
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print? – Yes
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints? – Yes
6. What other questions do we need to answer? _ would you be providing different coloured matt boards?

Yes to all but PLEASE NON REFLECTIVE GLASS/PERSPEX FOR ALL FRAMED PRINTS PLEASE. At present, it’s very hard to see prints at all.

Also what happened to the Kids Tshirts? Are they coming back?

Just thought of another thing – as has been pointed out, it seems the matted prints would be ideal for markets, so if particular attention could be paid to wrapping so that it is ready to sell, that would be great. A nice clear wrinkle free plastic envelope for each print would mean market ready prints. I think this may be very attractive to a a lot of bubblers who are considering this sort of outlet.

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? YES

Thanks guys! You are the best :)

great !

Great forsight go for it

yes to the questions….. non reflective clear perspex in front would be my choice….. more matte color choices would be nice …. an adjustable frame would be nice especially if it’s interchangeable….... will this impact the sales of framed prints…$123.50 for a 12”x15” framed print now, compared to $25-$30 for a larger piece 12”x15…one would rather choose the latter… and either shop for a frame, or use an existing one….i’d be in favor of small medium and large once the program gets good response…

All good.
Love the idea of matt.
I will add my voice to the chorus wanting standard frame sizes though. It will make them more likely to sell.
8×10 11×14,
11×17,13×19, 16×20

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Yes
4) Yes
5) Yes

Great idea!!

Yes to all and I’m with the standard frame sizes

sounds like a great idea guys and girls, and it is always a good idea to introduce new things as you can always remove the option at a later time..
so i am all for it..
however i have to agree with gemlenz that the sale of individual frames may well reduce the sales of pre-framed prints..

Yes to all of the above, plus a couple of extras:
please, no artists’ names on the front, just on the back as with the current mounted prints;
glass/perspex should be an option rather than a given;
really support the idea of a clear plastic sleeve;
really support the opportunity to automaticallly update our sales options to include these matted prints, if we can just let you know that’s what we want rather thanhaving to update each of our works;
and also really support expanding the range of merchandise in the future – business cards would be a great idea, and also portfolio books. Not to mention the usual mousepads, mugs, sweaters, etc. I know that I would buy a full range of this sort of merchandise (as well as the framed prints) as gifts – both of my own work, as well as others. Also postcards – excellent idea how about going for this one first ???
Fantastic work guys, keep the great ideas coming, we love ‘em all, we’ll buy ‘em all!

yes to all, coffee table book
and postcards
and square format 8×8
and light grey matts too.

Yes! But standard frame sizes will really make them more likely to sell. It will also help set RB apart from other POD services.

These would be a great addition to the range. I think it would be best to have a glass / no glass option if that is possible. A range of standard sizes eventually would be fabulous.

Sounds like a great idea.As someone suggested earler postcards would be great too.Anything that makes our work accesable to people at a reasonable price is a plus.Keep up the good work : )P

Yes to all.
Imean it cant hurt!

Anything on Postcards? Id love to send a Postcard to some Bubblers…especially in Australia

Good to have matted prints as an option for the buyer. Interchangeable frames also good idea. More sizes in the future would be good. Well done!

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?
Yes

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?
Probably, unless it costs me a fortune to get one shipped here…

3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame?
Yes if it’s non-reflective, but leaving it as an option could be a good idea.

4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?
Definitely :o)

5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?
Yes, more options is always better ! At least a few standard sizes would be great.
Maybe a few different ratio too (for example an option for square images) ?

6. What other questions do we need to answer?
Shipping costs ? (Expecially towards Europe)

Great ideas, but standard sizes please and NO MARKINGS (title, author, redbubble) of any kind on the front. Hanging options also useful.

Great idea.
Definitely require a non-reflective glass/ perspex for the frame.

Yes on all counts :)

1. Matted Print: Love the idea.
2. Interchangeable Frame: Also great option
3. Glass/Perspex: Yes, important to protect the artwork. Also like the idea of it being optional… non-reflective does have a diffusing effect.
4. Would I sell my art this way: Absolutely.
5. Sizes: Would be great to have a range of options. Like the idea of square and panoramic in addition to standard.

Would be great to for markings to go on back.

Love the idea of postcards also! :o)

Yes definitely interested in matted prints, would be happy to sell in that configuration and yes would want a range of sizes to select from.
Less interested in interchangeable frames but yes if I did get a frame it would need glass or perspex (preference for glass)

Matted prints are a brilliant idea. In many club competitions, its expected that photographs will be matted (though, not so much at the national comp level for some reason). This, with the quality of the RB print, would totally rock.

Good work RB, this is great.
1. Yes would like matted prints
2. Yes to interchangeable frame
3. Yes would like galss
4.Yes would sell matted prints
5. Yes different sizes would be good
6. Can’t think of any other questions.

This sounds great :)
Yess to all – but would prefer glass to perspex.

Cheers
Robyn

definitely a yes to all

1. Yes
2. Not so much
3. Glass/Perspecs
4. Yes
5. Yes (panoramic sizes :D)
6. None for now

Im so happy to hear this news guys

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? – YES
2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in? – YES
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)? DONT CARE
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print? – YES – YES – YES
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints? – YES
6. What other questions do we need to answer? – None just now

Thanks

Excellent, progressive thinking and it’s a resounding YES on all points from me as I have always preferred matted prints. Glass, I feel, is better than plastic, especially as it is going to have to last a long time, but please be sure that it is NON REFLECTIVE. Good luck and I look forward to seeing the finished product. Peter

Looks good and sounds good!

I’m happy to offer my work as matted prints for sale, at whatever sizes are on offer. I’ve found the more options the buyer gets the more confused they become, so I think it’s important to keep it simple

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?
YES, Always preferred matt finish to Gloss.
2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?
YES, Good idea, the more choice of frame, finish, colour etc the better.
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)?
Again the more choices the better. How about non-reflective glass/perspex, which is becoming a more common choice for many people.
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?
YES
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?
YES – more choice the better.
6. What other questions do we need to answer?
Are there plans to introduce a postcard size alternative to the greeting card? I have had many queries re. this.

John B.

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? – YES

3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)? I think glass would look better, but may be more problematic for posting… would this add much to the cost of the frame, and to shipping?
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print? – YES
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints? Yes, options of format would be good.

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? YES
2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in? YES
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame? Can go either way, but probably yes if it can be done at a reasonable cost.
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print? YES
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints? YES

1. yes
2. no
3. nothing
4 yes
5. yes
great idea!!

Yes, this does look like a very useful product, good price too. It looks a little cheap without the glass, so that would be a desirable option.

Awesome, this is previously how I preped most of my stuff for sale for a number of reasons. One, it looks good. Two, it is light and protects the print for easy shipping. Three, it is ready for a frame. Four, it is more afforadable than selling with a frame (both for the buyer and less capital outlay for the seller). Five, it give the buyer their own choice of frame.
I’d been chatting with Xavier about something like this, definitly excited!

Additional question, when you say one size, is that the maximum dimension as for current prints or will you be cropping to fit that exact size? Same goes for the outside dimension of the matt and frame size. I realise differnet sizes complicates things but just wanted to clarify what you are doing and where you are heading. Thanks!

So a few quick questions:
1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? Yes
2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in? As an option for buyers, yes!
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)? As an option, perspex!
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print? Definitely
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints? Yes Please.
6. What other questions do we need to answer?

1. YesI
2. Yes!
3. Not Sure?
4. Yes!
5. Yes!
6. When are you going to preceed with these ideas?

I believe this is a great idea, way to go ( RB ) !

Brilliant ideas – go for it please.
Post cards would be welcome also.

Yes to all that apply. You decide the sizes. can,t think of any questions except, do we still set the markup?

1. yes
2. fantasic
3. happy either way
4. yes

Yes to all of the questions. I think this is a wonderful addition to the line of products offered here at RedBubble. I think many people would be interested in this new product. In addition, I love the fact that you offer the art community to have our thoughts heard on such ideas. This is a very fine interaction and a wonderful community to be a part of.

Thank you,
Weshon

Absolutely. I hate making mattes

Love the idea of matted prints.
Like others would like to see standard photo or atleast standard frame sizes
offered with regards to the matted prints. It gives customers the choice
of using as is, getting custom frames or buying ‘off the shelf’ frames.
Having them cello wrapped, or atleast supplied with cello envelopes
would be a good idea. Probably a resealable option would be best.

yes to all it looks like all will be popular going by the above replies

Yes, if it means I get sales :)

Hi.
Yes To All Great Thing To Come
Emily Winter.

yes matted print excellent , glass or perspex why not make it optional , people can choose either or nothing. well done guys

FANTASTIC, just another way of getting our art out there, at a price that wont brake us.You have solved my problem. A lot of my work is transported overseas for exhibitions this is definately going to save on hefty freight bills. Also being lighter and more transportable i will now be able to send through Auspost instead of transport companys who sometimes charge $1000”s. Thankyou Redbubble!!!!!

PS Would love to see little books or booklets as well.

I love the matted idea but have used those darn frames for some time and find them hard to sell. They look a lot like a doctors office.

Jim

I love the matted idea but have used those darn frames for some time and find them hard to sell. They look a lot like a doctors office.

Jim

Great idea!!!!

Oh yes on all the glass or acrylic either way you have to ship it.Regards.

Yes to 1-5 and #6: shipping costs?

This would be a welcome addition. I would go farther and suggest that customers have a wider variety of art paper for the prints they purchase, and a wider choice of frames and matt colors.

i agree with most in here, great idea, i am open to any new sways we can present our art and sell it. :)

yes yes yes, and check out mpix.com one of my favorites for ordering my work. There printing is impecable!!! really fantastic

Yes

YES!!! What a great innovation :)
Perspex in frame , please ? :)

ooh..are business cards a possibility????

drums fingers

:))

1-yes
#2-yes
#3-—yes
#4-yes
#5—-later

1. Totally interested.
2. Yes again!
3. Glass/substitute please
4. Mattes complete some photos as wall art, including mine… so of course
5. In time

1. yes
2. yes
3. yes
4. yes.
5. yes big bigger, huge

1. YES
2. NO
3. N/A
4. YES
5. YES – standard sizes?
6. Matt colours – black / white

yes, wonderful idea. makes art more affordable so always good, bigger is good and glass definitely preferable. I would buy an interchangeable frame if had glass.

yes, wonderful idea. makes art more affordable so always good, bigger is good and glass definitely preferable. I would buy an interchangeable frame if had glass.

1 yes
2 yes
3 I would defiantly prefer a non reflective
4 yes
5 yes bigger is often better to fit standard frame sizes

YEAH, SWEET, HOM MUCH FOR THE FRAMES?

I would definatley be interested in matted prints

I love the idea of the interchangeable frames, i don’t really think interchangeable frames need glass or perspex just laminate the prints that are going to go in them.

I thin kfor me thee sizes that are currently available are fine

i say yes 1 thru 5

the only thing i would like change is the laminated coming flat and not rolled up it is a pain to get them to go flat ,it creases down the middle, then it is really messed up.

Would it be possible to have the bottom a little wider than the top and sides as this looks way better than equal on all sides.
Something like 5cm on the top and sides with 7cm on the bottom.

I say yes to all

I support this idea, but we need the option of US customary units. why not have photograph sizes? of 8×10, 8×12, 16×20 and even an 8×8d As an option. I love your laminated prints, but they do not fit standard frams over ee in USA.

Anything you can add to sell our work is ok with me. I like the idea. Maybe you can add different sizes in the future as suggested by Trace Lowe, to fit US Standard frames.

That’s excellent, they look so much better that way.

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?
The matted print looks to be a good quality product and adds to the high quality products buyers can purchase on RedBubble … YES

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?
The interchangable frame sounds like a good idea but i think if i were buying a print i would purchase it in the color that suited my decor “other furnishings” ... how often do people change the taste and decor and at what added cost to a regular unchangable frame …

3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)?
Glass would be the better choice in protecting the artists work, and giving a more professional and high quality standard of product within the bubble …

4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?
We are all different and it’s nice to have choices … “more than Happy”

5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?
Size preference would add to the buyers choice … “Yes”

6. What other questions do we need to answer?
If the interchangable framing were to go ahead, what color’s would be available for buyers to choose from ??

Sweet!

love the idea, matted prints are alwyas populatr at markets.

Great idea, I think it will work well

hey!

4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print? – id be happy to sell yes !
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints? – the more variation the better, but obviously within profitibility for you guys..

What other questions do we need to answer?

well its sort of unrelated – but my mum has asked me to ask you redbubble guys to make transfers available.
she likes a lot of the designs as t shirts, but not necessarily on a shirt or where they are.
she gave the example of being able to get a transfer and put that on her bag or hat…

obviously you keep doing the t’s but there might be a market for that one…

and i told paul V ages ago – you guys should do shoes – like really simple shoes, and people can upload patterns for the main sections.
then you have maybe a couple of main shhoe colours -black brown white..
so brown shoe with a muscularteeth pattern..

how cool would THAT be?

:)

the timber frame should have a deep profile – would look way smarter!

Great idea!

Matted prints would be great and the cost is very reasonable. Thank you

Yep sounds like a good idea, like the idea of the coffeee table book, sue wil be suggesting key rings shortly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we don’t listen to sue

Most monochrome photos go well with Matt .Give it a market try out.

Yeah, matted prints is a great idea – maybe the glass or perspex could be optional? (it would probably affect postage..). I agree about standard photo sizes, and also people really do like to match their decor, so a fairly wide choice of colours?

Yes most definately would be interested in all aspects of this idea…Its fantastic and I look forward to seeing one for real…

Yup.

HeathSE
Yes please

YES, brilliant idea!!!
1. I am definitely interested in it
2. Interchangeable frame is necessary
3. Yes, glass/perspex is useful
4. Of course, I would be happy to sell my work on matted print
5. Maybe later, yes
6. At the moment I have no more… :-)

you have enough feedback….

matt’s great, light, easy to sell to travellers

agree the bottom needs to be bigger than top(mb said on other page)

another great marketing tool…to add to tshirts (I would like to buy v neck tshirts, hint hint nudge nudge)

and biz cards and postcards. and DL sized postcards

and now you have enough feedback!

great idea

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?
YES

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?
YES
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)?
YES
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?
Certainly

5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?
what about postcards

6. What other questions do we need to answer?
It would be great if postcards could be offered in DL-size too.

I think this is a fantastic idea but I would definitely want to frame to have glass in it because
a) it protects my favourite photos from dust and
b) it looks classier

oh and I agree with Margo about there being No Markings of name etc on the front also. Looks much better.

Yes, I think it’s a fantastic idea. I am also happy to hear that you may be introducing postcards.

If you haven’t got square eyes reading all these replys, mine is quite simple. Yes please!

Yes to all… Glossy is sometimes a bit overwhelming for some subject… i know this is not in the question but I’m waiting for square cards… But I’m patient… :)

Yes, sounds great! I prefer glass to plexi myself. Also, been hearing some complaints about the hanging device on the mounted prints, just that it looks really cheap. So, if you could do something nicer for hanging, I’d be all for that as well. ~ Alice

YES,YES, YES!! I would much prefer a matted print to a laminated print.

Sounds good – as a landscape photographer, that shoots in colour as well as blk/wht the matt finish would be a great move forward – also no glass or perspex in the new adjustable frame. Thank you—

definitely interested in the matted print! YAY! and i like that it has a hanging devise too. as long as it is durable i don’t care too much what it looks like cuz you can’t see it! I would sell my work as a matted print and I think it would be great to offer different sizes because more options is always better for sales!

Definite yes to matted prints – a size that fits in standard frames would be best for our customers. I realize that may be different depending on the country. Is there a size such as 16×20 (inches) that is universally available?

Offering a lustre or semi-gloss finish rather than the high gloss would be a big advantage. At times, the laminated prints are way too shiny to hang on a wall.

In fact, I was just fixin’ to buy a print, but wasn’t crazy about laminated or gatorboard options. Matted prints will work better with how we display artwork in our house and will work better for gifts.

Thanks for reading my mind!

The more options the better. (Short and sweet!)
Regards- Marcus (gabriel6)

Great idea. I think the more variety the better chance of suitability for a wider range of artwork.

Excellent!!!. Some of the Art I have framed I used a matte. The matte really adds to the landscapes.

Wonderful idea. Part of the excitement of this place is how innovative you are. Like long-sleeved shirts, something new all the time. And I love the idea of postcards, too, I’d love my work in postcards, great for mailings, and I’m in a great neighborhood for it.
There’s a place called www.Blurb.com that does a fine job with hardcover books, print on demand, photographs their specialty. That’s just too great that you’re considering that as well. Nice work, fine team.

Yes to all

I love matted prints.. it makes the image feel complete for some reason.

And also, I will go for and sell anything that people want to buy.. so if they want matted prints.. then lets give them matted prints.. and if they can’t decide on a color.. well now they can change them out. It’s a win-win.. everybody benefits. :D

Definitely seems like a great idea.

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?
Yes, as it gives people the matting, while letting them explore other third party frames.

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?
No, not for myself, as I seal all my frames to further protect them from moisture and contaminants. Although, others my like to swap out artworks in an interchangable frame… especially if they have space constraints.

3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame?
Yes, as it is needed for sealing an artwork in the frame. You can always leave the glass out of the frame if you would rather not have it, but vice-versa is more difficult.

4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print? Yes!

5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?
Yes, I would definately like a variety of sizes, and even custom sizes ( possibly with an additional fee to make that feasable? ).

6. What other questions do we need to answer?
Would there also be additional colours for the matting besides black and white?.

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?

Yes

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?

Yes

3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)?

Glass but maybe an option to go anti-glare glass as well?

4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?

Yes – sometimes matte is better than gloss depending on the image

5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?

Just the usual that’s already on offer for me

6. What other questions do we need to answer?

Nothing that hasn’t been covered already

—-—-

Great ideas and options!

I think that the concept of producing coffee table books and/or portfolio style books is a great idea that many would embrace.. Id imagine that many Bubblers would buy books of their own work but I think it would also be good to have an option in the buy/preview page of something like “add to book” so that customers can go through RB galleries and select images they like and make a book out of works from different users..
Another option I think sounds interesting is the idea of perhaps making an option in the “edit your profile” page to add a scanned image of your signature that can be added to the prints at time of sale.. that way the seller could add a personal note to the work, however not all buyers may embrace this so maybe add it as an option at checkout?? Anyway thats my little idea

I think this is a good asset to the photographers. They make great framing and add more look to the photo itself.

i would love to sell my art as matted prints…..great

I work in a photo centre and I love the matted look!!!
Cant wait to for the books – the wait will be worth it =D

And I second a comment made earlier about having t-shirts with the option of being able to print on the back or front or both.

Great work all the same claps

Megz*

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?Yes
2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?Yes
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)?either as long as its quality stuff
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?Yes – matte can add a different effect
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints? standard sizes would do.
6. What other questions do we need to answer? Postage costs should be minimised (so maybe perspex is better than glass in weight terms), ensure taxes / customs are sorted for posting to Europe, or can we not get a printing partner in the UK now (that would boost sales here significantly I would guess, reduce postage costs and mailing times)

Matted prints with interchangeable frames are a great idea that will appeal to people who want to vary the images on display in studios, offices and foyers without the major expense of custom framing.

very good idea, expand the market by giving more options to all…

a little off topic but… is there any chance of slim fit mens tees being added to the clothing line? Im sure its not just me who wants them… we’re not all hippies! LOL

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?
Heck yeah!
2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?
Perhaps, but see comment below
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)?
Glass
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?
Yep
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?
A little bigger, perhaps, and some smaller options with standard mat sizes (eg 5×7 window, 8×10 matt)
6. What other questions do we need to answer?
None

The base price for the matted print seems a little high compared to similar services that do custom sizes and matting. The price for an interchangeable frame seems particularly expensive, probably because it’s a super high quality finish. Any plans for a ghetto-framing option? I’d like to use redbubble for fulfillment, but an equivalent service can be had considerably cheaper elsewhere.

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in?
i agree that it would be particularly good for exhibitions! YES

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in?
Yes. once again, particularly good for exhibitions or anywhere, for that matter

3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)?
Absolutely need something there. High quality perspex would be good, but only if it wasn’t scratchable – nonreflective surface if possible

4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print?
sure! great to have that option

5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints?
Yes. bigger options too

6. What other questions do we need to answer?
How many coffees do you all drink in a day?!!

A great Idea I would love to sell my work with these extra features :)

PS, you guys need (to use) a poll facility! :)

Just a further PS from me in response to all the requests for non-reflective glass. Please don’t! Hate non-reflective glass as it usually has a sort of milky look. Unless of course there has been massive improvements in recent years, which I don’t know about, which is entirely possible. :)

interesting idea

Yes, think this is a great idea. The more diverse and interesting products being made available can only be a good thing for Redbubble artists.

1. Is the matted print a product that you’d be interested in? YES
2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in? YES
3. Do you want the want glass/perspex in the interchangeable frame (or nothing in front of the print)? NO GLASS
4. Would you be happy to sell your art as a matted print? YES
5. Do you want other sizes for matted prints? YES

Looks great to me!

Count me in as one who likes these

Yes a wonderful idea. I think sticking to the standard sizes 8×10,8×12,and 16×20 etc.
would generate more sales, especially for people who would buy there own work and resell it, at say the markets.These frames sizes are available everywhere and people are more happy to part with say $50 and purchase a frame later on.

Also I think the matts would look great shipped with the shrink wrapped plastic for a professional look.

your doing a great job BTW

Yes.
I also like the idea of shrink-wrapped or encased in cellophane. If possible.
Great ideas.

Yes i think a Great Idea to have Frame .
Top idea. Emily Winter.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. glass/perspex
4. Yes
5. Yes
6. Any likelihood of Giclee Prints, Hahnemuhle or Canson paper or photo books?

Great idea!

ArtyBethy (Beth White)

1. Yes, I love the idea of matted prints. Prefer them to be in Australian standard sizes so that customers at markets who buy them can purchase standard size frames for them later without having to pay for custom made frames.
2. Yes, if they are standard sizes.
3. Prefer glass. Sometimes perspex distorts a painting and can get scratched too easily.
4. Yes, I would be very happy to sell my art as matted prints. Prefer also for them to be shrink-wrapped, protected, and ready for sale.
5. Standard sizes, including square to be also suitable for my square paintings.

Can you print paintings on good quality mugs, afternoon trays to match and drink coasters ? I saw these recently in a fine art gallery and displayed beautifully, they looked beautiful and for people who could not afford an orgininal painting, they offered an alternative to a print for purchase.

I am a YES, YES, YES for POSTCARDS and BUSINESS CARDS too.
Also interested in Giclee Prints later on.

Yes I would show my work on a matted print, and the interchangeable frame is a great idea

It is a fantastic idea to spread our art through such an interesting medium as it would allow the artist to be known in a good way .

The more ways I can possibly sale the better.:) ( LOL I’ve hardly sold a thing) Give people tons of options and maybe I can finally sale stuff. Esp. since I quit my job and I’d like to make a living with my art if at all possible.

P.S. If you could offer the same products as Zazzle.com at a better price or quality that would be amazing!

One more thing. If you could offer the laminated prints without artist details also. Thanks.

Do you mean matted print as is matt board or print finish, matt / gloss?

I would Like to be able to see have/ or buy art on a coffee cup, but I know that might be a little bit too much though , all that wieght , breakage , and liability etc… and not to mention shipping and stocking costs and et all , but what do you think?? I am a LOVER of coffee I am seldom without my cup of coffee , and It would be nice to have a special cup with some top – quality art on it , by myself , or other artists… what do you say ?? just a thought, whilst I am sitting here drinking my late evening coffee..

speaking of glass on framed art , glass can break what about other options like plexiglass, acryllic and such , there are some that would be better than others , like some that are quite durable and wont yellow or interfere with the veiwing of the picture… perhaps someone could look into that… just a thought… but I do like the idea in general of having something to protect the picture especially framed pictures, but there are other options besides GLASS.. so compare price/ quality etc of other options… as it would be nice if someones picture would get there , ahem , in one piece , and not hehe pieces , of well broken glass , as could very well be sometimes , if glass be used… so plastic of some kind might be better… just a thought…

Oh and I also would agree , with the “no glare” option no-glare is definately a MUST for me as well , I like to be able to see the picture as best as possible… and not a lot of glare,
I also would say YES to postcards, I thought of that earlier myself , but just never got around to mentioning it, and Oh, if you can, PLEASE make Coffee Cups available as well, thanks…

Choices are always a good idea. Some like non-glare glass and some do not. If you have any thickness to the mat (like double or triple) non glare glass distorts (the farther away it is from the image).

I would love more choices in Matboard color, and background color for prints…at least a light neutral grey, and cream…of course I am a picture framer by trade…I always want more matting and framing choices. It makes sense to me that my customers may want to buy their own frame, but if I could choose the mat color that would look best, this makes me very happy. Taupe, beige, other browns and charcoal grey…neutral colors that work on most anything would be awesome. I like the idea of postcards. I would also like a print size that works for the square format…8 X8, 10 X 10, 12 X 12, (all standard size frames in the USA) and / or 18 X 18.
