Since day one, all the way back in 2006, we’ve had a unique approach to growing our service: our application process.
We’ve always wanted to ensure that we’re offering the highest quality reproductions of your work and maintaining earnings far higher than other similar services. To do this, we decided to grow slowly. Our application process helps us do that by allowing our community to help vote for new artists. We realize it can be intimidating to apply for a print shop, but we’re here to help. We’re going to explain the process and what our community is looking for in new applications.

The Application
Applications to sell artwork are curated by a community vote of the artists. To submit work for sale, log in and click Sell Artwork, then upload three of your favorite pieces for review. You may also wish to link to your website, portfolio, or social media in your profile to provide a more complete representation of your work. Once voting has concluded, you will receive notification of the result via email. Please note you must be of legal age to submit work, and you must be the sole creator of the work you are submitting.
How does voting work?
Artists already on the site curate submissions. The community of artists reviews applications and selects new artists to open their own galleries on the site. If your application is not selected, you can apply again and reach a different set of artists another day.
What does INPRNT look for?
- Images should be properly documented digitally or with a high-quality camera or scanner.
- Submissions should comply with our content policy and intellectual property policy.
- You can also enhance your application by filling out your profile completely.
- Unique and original art: art that does not use clip art or royalty-free images or could be deemed “low effort.”
What does a completed profile look like?
- Gallery Applications should include a profile picture.
- Submissions should comply with our content policy and intellectual property policy.
- You can also enhance your application by filling out your profile completely.
- Links to social media accounts.
Can I edit my application?
Once applications are not able to be modified once submitted, but you can apply again later.
What if my application is rejected?
We don’t approve everyone, but we encourage you to keep trying. If you have some new work to showcase, or you just finished that portfolio site, try sending an application again.
Can I be invited without applying?
Artists on the site periodically receive a limited number of invitations to send to other artists. If someone you know has sent you an invitation, all you have to do is sign up using the same email address where you received the invite. If you already have an account associated with that email address, you can log in with your username. Once logged in, you will be prompted to upgrade your account to an artist account and can immediately begin uploading artwork to your print shop.
