• Original Artwork
• Open Edition Prints
• Illustrations
• Signed Prints
• Photography
• Digital Art

Many Artists are confused in choosing the suitable way to monetize their art through prints. There are two types of ways in which they can sell their print:

• Open Edition or Unsigned Prints
• Signed Prints 

Open Edition Prints are usually less expensive than the signed prints and fall in the affordable category. These prints can be produced until the artists wish them to produce. The chances of selling Open Edition Prints are higher than the Signed Prints as they are much affordable than signed prints. If you wish to sell the Open Edition Prints of your art online in India or Globally on Dessine Art, then you need to mail 300 DPI versions of your artwork i.e. high-quality images of your art. In this case, artists receive a profit fee of 40% and in the rest 60%, Dessine Art manages the printing, marketing, packaging, and shipping of your prints. We are committed to following the museum and sustainable standards while producing the prints, thus maintaining a standard of the artwork and the artist in the market. 

Whereas, Signed Prints or Limited Edition Prints are the reproductions of the artwork by the artists which are signed and numbered by the artists. For eg. 1-20, these limited edition prints are usually more expensive than the open edition prints as they are reproduced in a limited quantity. If you want to sell signed or limited edition prints on Dessine Art, then you can either choose Dessine Art as your printing partner as we follow the museum standard and use Hahnemuhle Fine Art Media to reproduce your artwork, this media has been adopted by many artists and museum across the globe. Or you can also reproduce it on your own, and display it on our website. In this case, we keep a commission of 40% on the limited edition prints.
