If You're An Artist or Photographer, Imagine Your Work...
...on beautiful, high quality products that you can either give as gifts or resell to your customers and fans. You can sell your art products online, or at craft fairs, local stores or out of your home. Many artists make a living this way, or substantially supplement their income. Color Bakery, a producer of beautiful customized art products, can make custom art printing a reality for artists and photographers who want their art on high quality gift products but don't have the wherewithall or desire to purchase high minimums.

What Kind of Products Can You Print My Art On?
Ceramic, glass or tumbled stone tile wall murals, coffee mugs, decorative porcelain plates, ceramic tiles, glass tiles, tumbled stone tiles, coaster sets, and much more can be customized with your very own art or photography. Tiles can be displayed in numerous ways....as part of home decor/art products, as wall murals, on easels and more. Some art galleries and craft shops sell original art tiles from artists like you for as much as $100 and more.

But What About Places Like Zazzle or Cafe Press?
Many artists, not having other options, make their art available through internet sites that will produce and ship similar products after you upload your high resolution art to their server....but the quality is usually low, the printing is substandard, and worst of all, you have no access to the customer who is buying from you. Further, once you add your profit on top of the base cost, you've priced yourself out of the market. The only people who profit from these sites are the sites themselves, rarely the artist.

Other artists have written to us to tell us about the disappointments they've had with online printing companies or local area printers who advertise printing on mugs and similar items. These artists were universally disappointed with the vibrance, color and overall quality of their product. Color Bakery has an unwavering commitment to reproducing your art just the way it was meant to appear. We're artists ourselves, so we do not take color reproduction and quality lightly.

We Are A Manufacturer, Not A Liaison
Many companies who print artists' work on ceramic, glass, stone and other gift and home decor items don't do the printing themselves. They farm it out. This means two things: higher costs to you, and absolutely no control over the quality of your product because you are dealing with a liaison, not the person actually doing the manufacturing. Our advice: always find out for sure if the company you are dealing with is actually doing the manufacturing for you. You may save yourself a lot of angst (and cost) in the end.

Another Artist Will Be Assuring Quality For You
As artists ourselves, we not only understand how important it is to maintain control over both the quality of your products, but having direct access to your customers as well. Our pricing is low to allow you to reasily resell at a much higher profit than you would ever receive from these internet sites who provide custom printing and order fullfillment. Not to mention other firms who do custom art printing on tile, glass or porcelain. Our tile wall murals in particular are extremely competively priced, making it accessible to the artist for resale to their customers.Since you will have an artist working on your products, you can be assured of someone as passionate about your work as you are, and just about as discerning and fussy about getting the color, saturation and contrast just right.

Artists-Do You Want Your Own Storefront?
Artists will soon be able to sell their art on our merchandise. Artists will have their own online stores where they can display their own artwork and we will print it on our products and ship to the customer. We will do all the production, fulfillment, marketing, etc., and you will set the pricing. This will be a separate identity and website from Color Bakery, and it is now in the planning stages. We hope to go live in 2008. Email us to sign up for our artist mailing list. In your email, tell us you are an artist, want a storefront and want to be notified when we are up and running.
