got to decide now the framing of the metalic print, I am thinking nonreflective glass in this case,, since the print
already has that shine,, and will look better without the glare of the glass, so,, that will be more expensive.

so,,, I'll have to now research, I guess I'll use my local shop. but that will drive up the cost,, comes down
to the cost/benefit trade-off..

but.... in this case,, I think I will hang this photo in my own house,, so,, having a nicer frame/museum glass
even if now my base investment is up there.

so,, my cost will be about 90 dollars.


now,, at my gallery/commission place I have my work,, I guess I would need to charge 400 dollars,, so I would
clear about 100 dollars or so.

not really a lot to clear in dollars,, which is why charging 2000 dollars would be better.. laughs.

if you could sell 1 2000 print,, course the gallery would take half,, so,, clear 900 dollars.

I would really need to enter lots of contest to ever reach that level of return. Talking to
the local photographers that reach that level of return, most tell me that they followed
the getting awards path.. to rise the perceived value of their photos.

ok,, the framing was a bit more,, so now my cost is 140 dollars! so,, would have to sell it a 450 dollars when deducting the commission,, laughs,, maybe,, I'll make it limited,, and sell it at 800 dollars! say 1/25?

course to be clear,, this is metal coated paper,, not the full metal print,, that is next,, on my list. but even the metalic paper is very nice.

I have great luck with a product called Conservation Glass which I get from my frame wholesaler. Have found that some non-glare glass can have an unfortunate color cast. Of course the best glass is Museum grade but it is very pricey and should probably only be used on your limited edition or one-of-a-kind prints.

well,, I'll have to see when I pick up the print.
