Print on Demand for Artists: Sell Your Art as Premium Prints
How artists make money selling prints online
You've already done the hard part — making art people love. Selling prints of your artwork is the most reliable way to turn that work into recurring income: one painting or illustration can sell hundreds of times, in every size, framed or unframed.
PrintShrimp handles the printing, framing and shipping on demand, so you can sell art prints on Etsy, your own website, or both — without ever touching a printer, a tube, or a roll of bubble wrap.
Print Quality Your Art Deserves
Your art is only as good as the paper it's printed on. That's why we work with fine art printers, not the cheapest ones.
260gsm Giclée Printing
In the US and UK your art is typically printed giclée on heavyweight 260gsm stock — the standard galleries and fine art printers use. Rich colour, sharp detail, made to be framed.
Matte, Gloss & Satin Finishes
Choose the finish that suits your style — flat matte for illustration and fine art, gloss or satin for photography and bold colour.
Quality Framing Included
Offer framed prints in White, Black and Oak without touching a frame yourself — and framed sales carry the biggest margins in wall art.
Consistent Everywhere
Your prints look the same whether they're fulfilled in the UK, US, EU or Australia. Every collector gets the same quality.
Selling Art Prints Online: Step by Step
Upload Your Artwork
Drop your print-ready art files into PrintShrimp. Paintings, illustrations, photography, digital art — if it's wall art, we print it.
List Your Prints
Sell on Etsy, Shopify, or your own website. Our Bulk Lister can even create your Etsy listings for you — mockups, SEO and pricing included.
We Print, Frame & Ship
When a print sells, it's produced near your customer — locally in the UK, US, EU, Canada or Australia — and shipped white-label under your brand.
You Keep the Profit
Low production cost, premium selling price. Artists typically earn £6–£40+ profit per print sold. As easy as that!

Bulk listing, bulk mockups, bulk editing — free and paid tools that give you your time back for making art.
Built by sellers, for sellers
We sell wall art ourselves. Every part of PrintShrimp exists because we needed it in our own shops first.
Everything Artists Ask Us
Upload your artwork to PrintShrimp, then list your prints wherever you sell — Etsy, Shopify, your own website, or all of them. When a print sells, we print, frame and ship it directly to your customer under your brand. You never handle inventory, and you keep the difference between your selling price and our production cost.
Giclée is the fine art printing standard: high-resolution inkjet printing with archival pigment inks on heavyweight art paper. It reproduces colour depth, gradients and fine detail far better than standard poster printing — which is why galleries and professional artists use it. In the US and UK, your PrintShrimp orders are typically printed giclée on 260gsm stock.
No. PrintShrimp is true print on demand — you only pay production costs when a customer has already paid you. No inventory, no minimum orders, no monthly commitments.
You set your own prices, so margins are up to you — but typical profit is £6–£40+ per sale, with framed prints at the top of that range. One artwork can sell across every size and frame option, so a single popular piece can earn many times over.
Yes. Our Etsy and Shopify integrations import your orders automatically, and our CSV importer handles orders from WordPress, WooCommerce, eBay, Not On The High Street and more. Same artwork, same fulfilment, every channel.
Paintings, illustrations, digital art, photography, typography, collage — if it hangs on a wall, it works. All you need is a high-resolution file of your artwork; we handle the rest, from A4 up to large statement sizes.
Sell your art globally, without international shipping.
Your art deserves an audience everywhere. PrintShrimp routes each order to a local fine art printer in the US, UK, Europe, Canada or Australia, so every print arrives fast and in perfect condition.
Faster delivery, no customs surprises, and no parcels crossing oceans.
