Good places for Art Prints?

[SmidgeArt]

So I've been trying to look around for a good place for merch
I already have one for buttons, pins, stickers and washi tape
But I'm having a really hard time finding a good website for getting large 12x18 prints done

Does anyone have any good sites that they've heard of or personally used??

Thank you so much in advance!!!

Have you tried a local business in your area? When I was doing my research years ago, I found that small local businesses offered better prices and high quality prints. It might be worth to check out, plus, no shipping required.

I looked in my local area, but they either charge WAY too much or don't offer the printing on paper (but they have it for metal and wood etc.)

Oh no, that's unfortunate.

Well, I know that Vista Print is often used for vendors in the artist alley at the conventions that I attend. Don't know if you live in Canada and I also don't know how big you want to print, but you can check them out. They have generally good prices and their quality is good.

I'll definitely look into them, I'm looking for 12x18 printing anywhere from 25 to 100 prints tbh

Well, I know they do large sizes, so if they ship in your area. They might work for you.

CatPrint.com can do 12 x 18! And they have a bunch of different papers to choose from, I recommend getting a sample booklet.

I get my prints through RA Comics Direct...sure, it's a lot(12" x 18"- 50 prints) but also a decent price($50). I get the 11" x 17" (75 for $50), but they do an excellent job! However if you're looking for custom stock or smaller quantity...

Where do you get your pins?

I'm looking for Prints. Not pins

I used Moo for my prints going to to cons. They're a little bit more expensive but the quality has always been good and what puts them above others for me is their printfinity which means say you order 50 prints you can have a different on every single one so you can have 50 different designs, or 10 of 5 designs or 2 of 25 designs ect with no extra charge.

Zapcreatives is a good place for it, I've used them before and they've got a good range of those little trinkety bits of merch. They're very easy to work with and (pandemic aside) ship internationally free.

Now they offer a lot of online printing services for every taste and budget. Personally, I have ordered more than once from WikiArt, it is high quality and not too expensive.
