If You're An Artist or Photographer, Imagine Your Work...
...on beautiful, high quality tile murals and other 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.
On What Kind of Products Can You Print My Art?
Ceramic, glass or tumbled stone tile 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. Art galleries and craft shops sell original art tiles from artists like you.
But What About Places Like Cafe Press?
Many artists,
thinking they don't have 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.
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. 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 hues, saturation and contrast just right.
The Better The Image You Send, The Better The Result
If you send us an image less than two megs of data, we cannot deliver optimum results. The quailty of the end result is directly proportionate to the quality of the image you send to us...so please make sure you send us the biggest and highest resolution image you have.

How Do I Start?
Resellers
If you would like your existing artwork or logo on
mugs, ceramic/glass/stone tiles or other Color Bakery products,
the minimum first order: $350.00. Reorder: $350.00. There may be a setup charge
for making the artwork printer-ready. We apply this charge on a case-by-case basis, depending on how long it takes us to prepare the image(s). (If you are
conversant with an art program like Photoshop or Paintshop Pro
and can follow a template and size your art properly, no set-up charge would apply.)
