I've spent several frustrating hours looking for an online service that would print my digital renders. There are several services that allow people to create online albums for public display, then people can order prints from the album (such as dotPhoto.com). What I don't like are the terms and conditions and pricing. I can set a price for the print, but "members" get them at a discount - as I read it. It seems to me that some kind of arrangement could be made between Renderosity and one of these services to do the printing for Renderosity. Renderosity could then offer artists the option of allowing customers to order prints according to the artists pricing guidelines - and of course Renderosity would get a cut of the action. Since Renderosity is more of an artists forum, rather than a casual art consumer forum, the artist would need to be able to link back to her/his gallery here at Renderosity for the purpose of print ordering (and bring in some traffic as well). Anyhow - I babble. Just wish I had a place where people could order my digital images online without me hassling with the order taking, printing etc. rvq

Well, that will soon come to pass. We are looking at companies now that will work with Renderosity to provide printing capabilities for our members. Stay tuned, there should be an announcement in the coming weeks. yvette
