I’ve debated having an option for direct-printing of the various photos on the website here, and while most all of the images can be downloaded full size and printed by individuals, I’ve found an approach that I think will be best. I’ve sourced a print-on-demand shop that can create posters, mugs, T-shirts, and the like and that will integrate directly into my website shop. Rather than just printing anything, I will be developing customized artwork for specific products using the best of what I have available. I’ve put a couple of items online starting with a new eclipse poster and a couple of mugs. I’ll be adding more items as I have time to develop artwork I’m pleased with, but requests are welcome.
I’m setting this up to pass through the price and shipping costs from the printer, with only a nominal markup for my artwork, depending on the item. I still have some work to do with the integration to deal with tax issues and the like, since California and North Carolina residents must pay tax because the printer operates in those states. I also recommend that if you want to order any of my other offerings along with your POD products that you split them into two orders. That will ensure the fastest delivery since dedicated POD orders are processed automatically, while mixed orders require intervention.
I hope you find something you like!
