Are Violets Blue review for Artelo: Print on Demand Art
This app is very well-designed, and the founder is a pleasure to work with. The customer service is excellent, and the features are comprehensive, covering nearly everything I need. It’s clear they are focused on quality. Update As I transition over to Artelo, I’d like to share a few points from my experience and comparisons with other POD platforms. Downloadable mockups – These are very important. Artelo provides beautiful PSD templates but manually making mockups takes too much time. As a result I limited my framed options. I would also like to know whether the frame overlap is .25 or larger in order to be able to adjust borders. Template functionality – The current template setup feels limiting. Often, once I start creating a product, I notice design issues and end up abandoning the template. It would be much more efficient if I could create a simple template (e.g., an 8x10 white frame) and link it directly to every corresponding variant vs. a full comprehensive setup. Frames – I’d love to see more frame options, particularly colored and traditional frame designs, as they better complement my artwork. Frames could also be a real differentiator for a POD, since most options on Etsy are limited to black, white, or oak. Shipping costs for bulk orders – While this isn’t an issue for drop shipping the shipping goes up by a $1 per print. If I purchase in bulk to sell locally, the shipping costs make it less competitive though there is a discount with ten. This is a fantastic app. The owner is smart, attentive, and clearly committed to continuous improvement, which makes me excited to keep using it.
