  Giclee certificate of authenticity
We are in the process of releasing a new giclee certificate of authenticity system. Each print in a limited edition will be accompanied by a security grade certificate with a hologram. In addition, we will register the giclee by serial number on our site. Artists and buyers will be able to search by serial number and pull information regarding each particular print.
The cost is projected to be $5 per certificate, which includes the online registration as well. Although not necessary or required, we believe this will be a great tool for artists and buyers alike.
We still will provide the old master certificates for a complete edition without the hologram , serial number and the online registration at no charge.
 
Comments:
The first cardinal rule we ask people who are interested in making giclees is: "Are your originals selling?". If they are and your giclees are priced reasonably, you should not have a problem. Art dealers and galleries are usually very receptive to selling limited edition giclees accompanied by a certificate od authenticity. If you are a digital artist or photographer you of course have no original art to gauge your marketability. Selling art is not easy; it takes work: many times more work than creating the art itself. The market you are in can be a factor as well. If you live in an area such as New York City, you will have a much less traditional and more receptive audience for unconventional, modern art. This would not be the case in smaller, more traditional areas. If you believe your artwork does not find a good reception locally, you might want to explore online venues such as web galleries.
 
Greetings,

Has Allpconline ever considered combining your wonderful skills in printing with the capibility of helping artists market Giclees to dealers, galleries, and the public? An ALLpconline Web Gallery
with links to others would be a great idea.

Some of the sites I've seen look good but they don't return much money to the artist and your prices are better.
 
We keep considering putting up a gallery to sell our clients' work. The problem is that we are so busy taking care of all the other aspects of running the business. We are definitely going to do it, but there are technical as well as legal and pricing issues we need to iron out.
