UPDATE: BestValue Copy adjusted their prices based on QTY which is good news for print makers! You can now get your prints down to under 10cents!!! For Example: _ 30 Prints is 29 cents a piece. _ 40 prints is 26 cents a piece. _ 50 prints is 25 cents a piece. _ 150 prints is only 8 cents a piece! And the shipping would likely stay the same cost flat rate. So would be good if you have signed and numbered runs. STAY ENCOURAGED!!! STAY POSITIVE!!!

Checked it out, super user friendly and cheap! But a fair heads up to others is that if you can only afford a smaller number of prints, the shipping cost can be gnarly.

I get my prints done at Fedex on water color paper and they aren't too much pricier but in the future definitely going with this site!

Rad channel. You earned a sub. Meaning, thank you for putting out this vid. Looking forward to more.

Thanks, D.J. I've been looking to make some prints and this demystified some things.

I’m so glad I found your channel… I have a show coming up and gonna sell prints for the first time. This is a game changer. Thanks sooo much for sharing this 🤟🏼

I got my prints today holy shit man thank you so much exactly what I’ve been looking for! You’re the 🐐!!!

I CAN’T thank you enough! I am a 14 yr old artist and I have recently been trying to make money from prints of my artwork. I have been researching the cheapest print options and all the ones I have found were about 7-8 prints for 20 dollars. I have a very small budget for this mini business so thats a lot of money for me. Then I researched about making my own prints which is cheaper, but constantly buying ink can also get expensive. Then I just stumble on this video where I could get 50 quality prints for 10 dollars! I now can sell more pieces I have instead of limiting. I am also glad you touched up on copyright. That is something I’m still conflicted on. I have some digital paintings of A-list celebrities which I know would sell, but I don’t want to risk anything. I was going to end up selling them since I saw others selling them but now I don’t think I will. I wish I saw this video a lot sooner! Thanks for sharing the secret sauce lol 💀

Giclee printers were cutting edge about 30 yrs ago. I first learned about them reading an article about Graham Nash (CSN) in a photography magazine about his photography. He was using one of the first printers which cost around $150k at that time. The technology has evolved since then…at least I like to think so.

D.J...Bro....Thank you for sharing this resource! You just saved me a headache.

Thank you my dude

What an amazing share. I very much appreciate this video! Thank you.

Thank you! I just ordered my first prints ever!

I wish I could like your video 100 times! Thanks for the help! I was falling for the Glicee hype. At 53 I'm just starting to think about selling my art so this kind of info is very helpful.

Thanks so much for this video! Saved so much time and money using this website.

This makes sense I live in the middle of BFT nearest Walmart fast food anybody hundred miles this works thank you

Another upload so soon! Thanks DJ!🤙

As a former canvas painter unfamiliar with the print game, I had zero idea where to even begin. Next I find your video where you cut to the chase with some great information. Thanks so much.

Cool. Opened up the website and it looks like an igen. Solid machine. (We have one at my day job). A little clarification on glicee prints… what makes a glicee and an inkjet are the color output: ink jet is cmyk. Glicee can be six to twelve colors and have a pigment based ink instead of a dye based ink. Igen 5 which might be this model, has an extra color bay to expand the color gamut. The igen 5 we have has orange as the fifth color. Smaller shops probably won’t have this model but they might have a midsize machine like an Iredesse. Which is a four color process with a possible fifth spot in the mix. What that can be is a couple of different metallic colors or a gloss (spot varnish). Ricoh and canon make a similar machine. Incidentally Shutterfly has a fleet of 40 igens for their pod setup.

Brooo! Thank you so freaking much for this info! Def probs how ima make it to burningman.

Thanks for this

what a smart thumbnail really stood out from the other videos definitely caught my eye

Thank you for the tip. I am struggling to sell and market my art.

This video helped me out so much, THANK YOU!! I was recommended using Sam’s club or Costco, but when I went to order only about 15 prints were $30… this is much better haha. Thank you again 🙏

Great video and great information! I started doing shows this year both art festivals and comic/horror cons and using BVC will save me a ton of money over where I'm getting them now. Thanks for sharing the info!

great tips! ordering online and the shipping cost is usually what makes me try to work with someone local, but the prices are generally higher. thanks for sharing

Great information my brother! Thank you. Maaaan you remind me of Seth Rogan the actor

I was looking on how to make prints and im so happy I clicked on this video! im 17 and Ive been doing some silicone block printing so I figured why not make colored prints. im trying to sell my prints since I can just do them at home and I prefer pencil and paper over digital drawings. I love to experiment with all kinds of art, right now I want to try making prints from paper art and acrylic markers, do you have any advice on how I could print this using best value copy? im not the best at photo shop or technology but I do have a MacBook. great video too!

DUDE!!! That is even cheaper than Cat Print!!! Thank you for sharing.

THANK YOUUUUUUU

I love you! Nohomo

Thank you so much for sharing! In terms of file setup, do you include bleed or trim lines? Do you just make your file size the exact size as what you want (ex 8" x 10", 11 x 17")? They don't seem to have proofs so I'm worried about it turning out wrong...not sure if we can email them to make sure out file looks right?

Good video, I make spray paint art, and trying to sell them on Esty :D

Thank you! Great info! I do have a question. Did you scan or photograph your artwork? Your prints look amazing! So I’m curious if those prints were off of a photo or a scan? Any advice here would be so helpful. Again, thank you so much. Im also a big believer in “there’s enough to go around” 💕

Have you made any videos on how to scan, prep and save artwork for print!!!! I NEED to know how to do that!!!! ❤

You just gave a tip for what type of art to make. If you’re going to the show, namely, Pop culture iconic cartoons done in your own style. I have been doing this for years and it appears great minds think of like.

I gave them a try but having trouble with color matching. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Love, love , love this video! Do recommend sending file in RGB or CMYK?

Man, where was this when I did shows!?🤘

What's is the popular size for an art print?

Have you ordered from other places before and compared the quality? I can't tell if it's just me or do the colors look a bit faded with best value copy? Not sure if it's because of the paper material I chose

I used best value copy. Their prices are great but the shipping kills you unless you buy more than 125 bucks worth

Shit you not I print on demand on etsy with printful at $7 a print....you have just made being an artist so much easier

Giclee inkjet printed.haha I'm on to the bs now. Thanks for the hack

QUESTION! How do you ship prints? Roll them for tube mailers? Or Flat mail? If Flat Mail what do you use for mailers and where to find them. Thanks in advance for any help

I’m new to trying to make prints of my artwork to sell and this is SO helpful! But I’m worried about the resolution and size with a 8.5 x 11 pdf. If I want to make 5 x 7 prints, how do I resize the pdf file so the prints don’t have a bunch of white space or print blurry? I don’t want to order a bunch of prints for them to arrive wrong!!

I tried them and I love the paper! Did you ever have problems with their prints showing blue, black, and pink lines in various areas throughout your prints? I experienced this problem, so I reordered and still got the same results. I don't know how to get them to fix this. Any tips or feedback about this problem?

Do these prints fade if exposed to sunlight?

Does anyone know what the prices are like for shipping abroad? I'm from the UK and this is an absolutely GEM of a discovery, but I don't know if I could benefit from it outside the US xx

Are they in the uk?

Looks like the largest size they do is 11x17. Do you then get plastic sleeves or just sell them as is?

Correction, here they’re not in New Jersey. They’re in Maspeth queens a borough of New York City.

I love your channel but I had to chime in on this. There is a difference between giclee printers and printing prints from a deskjet printer. If you're just making graphic design prints that are just intended as a wall decoration for a short time span then yes go ahead and sell prints at the lower cost. If you are fine artist and want to sell fine art prints with more accurate color matching and archival inks that are meant to last for longer periods then giclee printers should be how you make your prints. Regular deskjet printers use dye-based inks that fade a lot quicker than giclee printers that use pigment-based inks. Giclee printers have 8 or more different ink colors for better color matching and quality compared to a 3 or 4-color ink deskjet printers. Giclee prints should definitely be used if you're a serious fine artist that is selling signed limited-edition prints.

Awesome

That site is bizarre. I'm trying to duplicate your order and it gives a different price every time. The minimum shipping cost to ship 100 prints in $27. I tried ordering 600 to get the free shipping and it still mysteriously adds about $70 to the overall cost. I tried ordering 150 and it's still charging 30 cents apiece.

I want to sign and number my limit prints. How do you signed them.

hey , i have recently started a poster/wall decor business . Could you suggest what paper to use? Also i'm not from united states neither in my country there are such printing services ;(

How do you make a digital file to upload to their website? Im new to this, Do you use a camera or a scanner? Thanks

I’m interested in this, Would you recommend this for fine art prints?

You are so, so, so, so so 1,000,000,000% right about best value copy!!! I discovered this great company while doing a random online search that I really didn’t think would yield me any results. Imagine my shock when I found this great company with sold Prince at such incredibly low prices I had to adjust. My hearing to see if I was hearing correctly. I received my order for 50 color prints at a dirt cheap price within 24 hours. I was also delighted to find out they were based in New York City. My hometown! This is one of the print industries.gems. Also, my copies came out, so good looking I don’t even want to sell them! Lol

Do you matte them, and how do you display them?

Quick question: I’m interested in getting prints of 5 different images- could I upload those images under one job? Im just confused as when it asks if quantity, in my head I want 20 prints for each image 😅

Do they ship outside of the US???

Hey what is the legality of printing out custom posters of bands with or without their logos? I plan on printing out anime or video game stuff too. Thanks!

When each print is 29 cents but shipping is like $20 😭 Can we print multiple designs as long as the size is the same? For example I want 25 prints of design A and 25 prints of design B, will it cost the same as just getting 50 prints of design A?

Will I be finding you at steel city pirate ship this April?

is there also an option for EU? I see this website only supports shipping in the US...
