Hello! I have posted this in the Business section but I think its more relevant here;
I'm trying to decide how to sell my prints and theres literally hundreds of options which I don't think would look overly stylish on my website for potential customers. I'm selling fine art nature and macro prints, so far I've decided I'll sell images as prints only, and then as mounted prints. I wont sell frames at this point just to see how I start.
But I think I'm getting myself a bit confused between mounting and matting (sp?), could anyone explain whats meant by mount because I've been thinking its simply backing the print onto something like card in which case a logo and signature would still be visible, and matting is like a window mount to prepare for a frame which would cover the signaure and logo?
I take it photographers dont usually 'mount' (as in my definition) and when they offer mounts they're offering a window mount? On average anyway I understand everyone decides for themselves- I just don't want a website cluttered with lots of different options that will drive any potential custom away, wanted a simple set of options for them to choose....
Plus who uses Logos on their prints? Is it for more successful photographers on average and does it take off value if its classed as a fine art print?
As you can tell I'm so confused!
