robsta5, 4 months ago

the matted print is a great idea, i would be very happy to sell my work as matt prints.
the frame to house them is good idea to.
thanks. rob.

Graham Schofield, 4 months ago

Absolutely!

nofrillsart, 4 months ago

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

Sharon Perrett, 4 months ago

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.

jack01, 4 months ago

totally agree with the above

RedBubble in reply to Sharon Perrett’s comment, 4 months ago

Postcards are certainly on the roadmap … fingers crossed somewhere in the next three months.

Cathie Tranent, 4 months ago

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!

Ginny Schmidt, 4 months ago

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.

Rebecca Brann, 4 months ago

Yes to everything! Great idea!

Darren Sharp, 4 months ago

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

Jon C, 4 months ago

Sounds like a great idea…WTG bubble!

Mundy Hackett, 4 months ago

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.

Andy Gibb, 4 months ago

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

anaisnais, 4 months ago

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

miclile, 4 months ago

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

Sharon Perrett, 4 months ago

Thats great news RB thanks for the prompt response

Tiffany Dryburgh, 4 months ago

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!)

4sure, 4 months ago

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

RedBubble in reply to Andy Gibb’s comment, 4 months ago

Absolutely! We’re in the process of setting up the printing arrangements at the moment – Tom has been in the US the last couple of week and is off to Europe later this week. The hardest thing is quality binding – done on demand. Realistically for us it’s probably 3 – 6 months away … but you never know. My understanding is that Lulu uses the iGen … in my view the only printer for photo books is the HP Indigo – so be cautious. We used the Indigo for the calendars – and after we sorted out some teething problems we were very happy with the results.

RedBubble, 4 months ago

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

Tiffany Dryburgh, 4 months ago

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

ragman, 4 months ago

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

Maree Toogood, 4 months ago

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

Michael Bermi..., 4 months ago

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

david malcolmson, 4 months ago

Matted prints would be a great idea.

Cathie Tranent, 4 months ago

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

Jazzyjane, 4 months ago

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

mmills3080, 4 months ago

yes to 1-5, no other questions

pene, 4 months ago

Yes to all questions!!

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

Dennis Gay, 4 months ago

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!

Nateuk, 4 months ago

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

joconti, 4 months ago

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

Ilunia Felczer, 4 months ago

Maria Mann, 4 months ago

4sure, 4 months ago

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

PPPhotoArt, 4 months ago

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

Patricia Moore, 4 months ago

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.

RedBubble in reply to Dennis Gay’s comment, 4 months ago

Dennis – we thought an 8×12 looked too small in the 17 by 23 matte board … and we’ve gone for this size matte board as we thought it would be a good first standard.

Outstanding Idea… Yes

nakomis, 4 months ago

2. Is the interchangeable frame something you’d be interested in? whats one of them? what ever keeps the customer happy so yes

maidmentk, 4 months ago

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

maidmentk, 4 months ago

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

Ashley Ng, 4 months ago

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

Steven Lippis, 4 months ago

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.

Lori Smaltz, 4 months ago

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?

jerry alcantara, 4 months ago

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

Simon Gladwin, 4 months ago

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!

Charles Dobbs, 4 months ago

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.

Michael Good, 4 months ago

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.

Nicholas Averre, 4 months ago

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

Cheers RB !

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

Christina Vasi..., 4 months ago

YES on 1-5….no other q’s (for 6)

Sean Farragher, 4 months ago

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

TIMKIELY, 4 months ago

yes to all, brill idea

Darlene, 4 months ago

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….

Anthony Pierce, 4 months ago

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?

Dave Lloyd, 4 months ago

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. ?

Jan Piller, 4 months ago

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.

Mike Connor, 4 months ago

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…

180ronin, 4 months ago

cool

zfollweiler, 4 months ago

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

Mary Lake, 4 months ago

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.

Alison Edge, 4 months ago

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?

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!

Joe Beasley IPA, 4 months ago

Yes to all.

Ian Robertson, 4 months ago

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.

Burchett, 4 months ago

Matted all the way!

Forest Friends..., 4 months ago

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

Jason Anderson, 4 months ago

Both sound good to me too…

RainbowDesign, 4 months ago

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 …

Bill Morgenstern, 4 months ago

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.

Trevor Patters..., 4 months ago

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

Scott Ruhs, 4 months ago

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

Scott Ruhs, 4 months ago

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

Rob Bolt, 4 months ago

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

Graeme Pettit ..., 4 months ago

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

Lorna Foreman ..., 4 months ago

Yes. Minus the Frames

Natalie Tyler, 4 months ago

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.

Nichole Schoff, 4 months ago

Great idea!!!

Marita McVeigh, 4 months ago

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

Bev Evans, 4 months ago

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

Phil Cashdollar, 4 months ago

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

Sherri Hamilton, 4 months ago

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….

Carl Chick, 4 months ago

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

christiane, 4 months ago

go for it

Mike Finley, 4 months ago

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?

mhkantor, 4 months ago

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

Jan Landers, 4 months ago

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!

Sharon Stafford, 4 months ago

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

Anthony Hedger, 4 months ago

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

AlienVisitor, 4 months ago

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

susan davies, 4 months ago

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

Mark Ingram, 4 months ago

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

Nancy Stafford..., 4 months ago

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

Nancy Stafford..., 4 months ago

forgot to say you guys rock

Jason Byrne (joB), 4 months ago

BRILLENT IDEA!

Donna Teleis, 4 months ago

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

Mark Peterson, 4 months ago

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.

susan roughley, 4 months ago

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.

photos40, 4 months ago

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.

Mia1, 4 months ago

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.

Mia1, 4 months ago

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.

4 = yes
5 = what will be the fees for shipping and handling to europe for example ?

G! Patrick Colvin, 4 months ago

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

Pal Gyomai, 4 months ago

4. Yes
5. Yes

Can’t wait to see the postcards.

Keep up the good work.

G. Merrick Jus..., 4 months ago

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…

cdwork, 4 months ago

Great options!

Angi Baker, 4 months ago

A yes to all from me as well to all…

G. Merrick Jus..., 4 months ago

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.

PSheredano, 4 months ago

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.

Crockpot, 4 months ago

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.)

Treadmark, 4 months ago

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).

Yes, a very good idea

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

Yes

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

6. What other questions do we need to answer?

No

Mark Snelson, 4 months ago

...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.

digitaldavers, 4 months ago

Sounds just great!

frankc, 4 months ago

A nice addition … yes to all.

great idea for the matted print.

Sara Lamond, 4 months ago

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.

Sara Lamond, 4 months ago

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.

Neil Boucher, 4 months ago

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.

Marilyn Brown, 4 months ago

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?

Kitsmumma, 4 months ago

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?

Neil Boucher, 4 months ago

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.

Great forsight go for it

George Lenz, 4 months ago

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…

Melinda Kerr, 4 months ago

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.

Great idea!!

richiedean, 4 months ago

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

Jeremy Harrington, 4 months ago

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..

Denzil, 4 months ago

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!

picketty, 4 months ago

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

StacyLee, 4 months ago

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

stephA, 4 months ago

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.

Peta Hill, 4 months ago

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

Kenny Gulley Jr., 4 months ago

Yes to all.
Imean it cant hurt!

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