FAQ
Q. What are Limited Edition Prints?
A. Showcasing the unique style of an artist in the form of a reproduction comes with a huge responsibility. And we take that seriously. Each reproduction is a museum quality giclée print on high quality canvas that captures the original work in all its essence.
Q. What if I am not too comfortable with the idea of offering prints of my works? Can I showcase only my original works for sale?
A. We understand and respect that you may not be comfortable with the idea of prints. And yes, you can definitely go ahead and showcase your original works for sale.
Q. Tell me more about the revenues artists get to earn.

Q. How many prints of an original artwork would you make available for purchase/subscription?
We would like to showcase not more than 5 works at any point in time.
We are currently limiting the number of prints to 100 globally (for sizes 18" and above). A Certificate of Authenticity mentioning the unique number of reproduction will accompany each work.
Note: We also offer gifting options of sizes below 18" for our business clients. These are open edition and will be reproduced only post your approval.
Q. Will your curation team select works from an artist's portfolio?
A. That’s right. We make an attempt to select works so we are able to showcase your style to our audiences. However, please feel free to suggest if you would like to showcase specific works.
Q. Why are you offering Limited Edition Prints?
We would love to create visibility for your works and help command a better price for originals. But at the same time we hate to dilute the value of what you’ve created. This is only to familiarize people with your style.
Q. If prints of my works are made available for circulation, do I need to share my original works with Artflute?
No. In case of prints on circulation, we will not need your original works. We will need you to upload high-resolution images (at least 10,000 px on the longer side and at least 25 MB file) so that the quality of prints is not affected.
If you don’t possess high-resolution images, do drop us a note or call us and we’ll work out something for you.
Q. If my original work gets sold (not on Artflute), will you continue to circulate prints?
No. Once we are intimated that the original artwork is sold, we will make all possible attempts to pull out prints on circulation. And we will also make the work unavailable for future circulation/subscription.
However, if you agree to have your prints available for subscription in spite of sale of originals and the buyer does not buy exclusive purchase rights, we will continue to showcase artist’s works on our platform. Remember – it’s your choice!
Q. Who are your customers?
A. Individual homes and businesses - hotel chains, corporates, hospitals and the builder community.
Q. How regularly will I get to know if my works are sold?
A. We are working towards building a great amount of transparency into our system. You can visit your dashboard anytime and check the details on demand. All transactions pertaining to sale of your works will be available for your reference whenever you want to access the same.
Q. I am particular about the quality of my works’ prints and I would rather have it done myself.
A. Over the last one year, we have researched and arrived at a high standard of printing on canvas of standardized sizes with a high-quality finish. We prefer to oversee the digitization and printing process ourselves to guarantee an output that has been highly recommended by our customers.
