*** How to Order your own Prints at Cost
If you want to order your own prints while logged in to Pictorem, you can order then at cost plus a 15% discount.
You will need to upload the artwork to Pictorem and then make the purchase. You are not allowed to share that link with anyone else.
To purchase prints at cost plus 15% discount:
- Log in to Pictorem
- Click on My Gallery (top row)
- Upload a new artwork or scroll down and click one that is already uploaded
- Click Order this artwork at print cost (in the black section at the top)
- Select a printing material
- Scroll down to place an order at cost plus 15% discount
You can order from the FASO website, but you will only get the 15% discount. You will not get the wholesale price of the print but you would still get it back in your commission.
NOTE: Artists do not need to upload art to Pictorem unless they want to place orders for their own prints and get the artist discount and wholesale price or if they just want an additional sales channel.
There is also an option to offer Limited Edition prints for works that are uploaded to Pictorem.
