Starting with iStockphoto users in the United States, members will be able to order prints of any image on the site that is made available for Prints by the artist. Prints may be purchased using the micropayment system pioneered by iStockphoto. Eight print sizes will be available on four paper surfaces (matte, glossy, watercolor and canvas). The iStockphoto site will incorporate a live cropping tool with seamless integration back to myPhotopipe.com's national photo lab in Atlanta.
In most cases, prints offered through iStockphoto will be available at prices approximately 20 percent below the pricing for comparable products at professional labs.
"This is a natural extension for us," noted Garth Johnson, vice president of development at iStockphoto. "Many of our customers have printing and distribution needs that are well met by myPhotopipe.com. This partnership will make their jobs easier."
"This is one of the largest communities of photographers and illustrators in the world, in addition to being the busiest image market, with an image downloaded every 2.5 seconds," stated L. Douglas Keeney, chief executive officer of myPhotopipe.com, Inc. "iStockphoto wanted to provide its customers with access to the very best digital print product available. We wanted iStockphoto's razor-sharp pricing. And we both wanted a great online experience. I believe we have accomplished all three of these objectives in this relationship."
