I want to sell a poster online to raise money for text booKS for my students. To keep things simple, I want to use a drop-ship service of some sort to sell them. By this I mean a place that will print, ship, handle all the transactions, take a cut, and send me the proceeds. These will mostly be sold to friends and acquaintances doing me a favor, so I don’t need archival quality printing. I’m more concerned with ease of setting it up and keeping the commission low.

Any recommendations?

CafePress and Zazzle are the two “big names” I am familiar with, in the world of printed/print-screened art-for-hire. I see they both do posters.

I’ve not used them to sell stuff but I’ve searched on their sites a lot, and purchased from them.

Since the OP is looking for recommendations, let’s move this to IMHO.

I’ve used Zazzle in the past and thought they did a fine job, but it has probably been more than 10 years since then. I’m not sure how valid my opinion is for your purposes.

I bought my dad a shirt on Zazzle maybe 4 years ago. He wears it a LOT (like 3 days a week) and it’s still holding up. It’s a shirt, not a poster, but there you have it.

Cafe Press doesn’t do posters, and Zazzle’s base price is too high. ☹
