Is there a printing company that handles custom poster art prints for artists with an online store?

I’m looking for a decent print company that handles custom poster prints, art prints specifically. One that also handles the legwork with shipping as an online store would, the closest i’ve come to is cafepress or www.lulu.com but i’m looking for other options. Not sure about cafepress’s quality and lulu doesnt make posters. Does anyone know another option?

I’m sure you’ll find one googling it…………….
Try to dinf one in your country, maybe even close so that you can view the art yourself and maybe even take it with you.
Depending on where you live, the costs of shipping can be very high (insurance costs,etc)
I just found Art.com two days ago. I haven’t read all of the fine print yet, so I don’t know if it is a good deal or not, but maybe it’s worth a look for you. And if you do Science Fiction/Fantasy art, then try Epilogue.net. They jury their artists, and they offer a print service also. Good luck!
I wouldn’t worry so much about the legwork as the print quality, you can always drop ship them to your customers. I have a printer that I use which prooduces awesome photograph-like prints, if that’s what you’re looking for. If you need matte prints, like andy warhol-style lithographs, then talk to a screenprinter (I also have connections with a screenprinter, if you need that).
Check out the online artist community at Artwanted.com.
They have a custom poster art prints program you may be interested in.
