Another way that prices can vary is in terms of where a printshop is physically located. Prices in different regions of the US can vary dramatically. If a shop is in New York City or Los Angeles or in another large urban area, the prices are likely to be higher than for other print shops located in smaller less urban areas where the costs of maintaining an operation are less. Stan is located in the small upstate New York town of Ithaca. His prices reflect this by remaining at the lower end of the scale as compared to other print shops in the US. Consequently clients from other urban areas in the country find his prices modest compared to what they might pay in their larger urban areas. Stan maintains a price structure that reflects his commitment to using the best materials, to offering very personalized service, to giving his clients a level of high quality print that they cannot get from another print shop. However he also attempts to offer the best possible prices while maintaining this superior quality.
What is frequently forgotten is that most people who want to have Giclee Prints made of their artworks are really interested in quality first. Stan has respect for the clients who contract with him, and he believes that they are looking for extraordinary prints, great service, as well as the best possible price. In return Stan has the admiration and appreciation of many clients for whom he has made prints.
