PrintedArt Introduces Studio Accounts for Professional Photographers

Franklin Lakes, NJ – November 22, 2010 – PrintedArt, an online fine art photography gallery and printing service, today announced the launch of its Studio Accounts program, which offers printing services to professional photographers. Photographers operating their own studios can now use PrintedArt for their fulfillment needs, utilizing the same gallery-grade material PrintedArt offers their customers.

“By making our materials more accessible to photographers and their customers, we enable them to gain a bold, new display format which makes a statement on any wall,” said Klaus Sonnenleiter, president and CEO of PrintedArt. “Not only is it a great option to offer their clientele, but also a great way to showcase and promote their own talent.”

Photography studios are eligible to receive discounted shop display materials, as well as volume discounts for their PrintedArt orders. Aside from the standard materials offered, photographers have access to special order items with unusual formats, special hanging materials, or other options not commercially available to the general customers.

The standard PrintedArt mounting options include:

*  Aluminum dibond mounts, a very light-weight, yet rigid material that allows for an ultra-thin wall-mount;

*  Acrylic finish over an aluminum dibond mount which provides the best protection for the image along with an eye-popping high-gloss display;

*  Gallery-wrap canvas offers a more traditional form of display by using a textured surface for the print to make it look more like a painting;

*  Prints on archival paper can be used for any kind of custom framing and will still guarantee lasting colors with UV protection to avoid any risk of fading.

PrintedArt also offers a fine art photography collection, hand selected by a staff of curators who have created high-quality gallery to choose from.

To ensure delivery by the holiday season, please place orders by December 2nd. During the month of November all shipments within the United States are free of charge.

About PrintedArt:

Printed Art is a web-based fine art photography collection, hand-selected by our experienced staff of curators who have created a highly selective gallery for the home decor and hospitality markets.

Every image in the collection is sold in a limited edition and produced in a modern gallery-grade display format mounted either on aluminum dibond and finished with acrylic, printed on canvas, or as fine art prints on archival paper for custom framing.

The PrintedArt PhotoLab allows customers to print their own images in the same professional quality as our fine art collection.
