Some time ago, someone (I am dreadfully sorry, but I have forgotten who it was) made the suggestion - against one of my gallery pics - that I might consider giclee prints of my work.
I've bitten the bullet and found a printer and got the first print (of a limited-number on-demand print run) done. I even left some other canvases to be copied. The print studio is setting up a dedicated sales site, and I'm hoping that I'll get a few sales through that.
Anyway, I thought I'd ask if anyone here has had fine art prints made of their work, and what they do with them.
And if they have any advice for me!
I did talk to the printer about greetings cards - nice ones (not Vistaprint ones!) need to be printed in bulk, and so require a heathy investment - but he says he would market them alongside the big prints.
Anyway, here's a blog post on my first visit to the printer (includes a link to the specific print studio, if anyone is curious):

I haven't written up the rest yet.
