When you choose to sell your work almost exclusively in the form of physical prints you need someone reliable to do the printing. I found solid looking candidates on the web, each with their own basic options, special features, services and price tags. Opposite their shopping windows on art-works-drive was a vacant lot, elidgable for setting up a diy-printing shack. Rent was okay- one printer, and all those things to do and to consider when you go doing it yourself. {I should put a link here to a good post that explains why prints rule},
