Digital BW, The Print

Terry,

I'm not sure what you would call "very small", but I will give you a
scenario and you can tell 
me if this looks small to you:

Hotel XYZ orders 400 limited edition prints of Image A.  These prints
are displayed in the 
hotel rooms with a retail price of $750.00 each.  In the first year,
50 of these prints are 
sold to hotel guests (a fairly conservative number).  Hotel XYZ keeps
35% of the purchase 
price and remits the remaining 65% ($24,375.00) to HotelArtGallery. 
This amount is split 
50/50 with the artist.  In other words, in this scenario, the artist
would receive $12,187.50 
in the first year from this one image in this one hotel. 

In addition, there remain 350 prints of Image A on display in the
hotel rooms of Hotel XYZ. 
These prints will continue to be sold to hotel guests in the coming
years.  If you multiply 
this scenario by many images (each with hundreds of prints), you can
see the kind of 
potential HotelArtGallery offers.

Regards,
Carl Schneider
