Between finding the right products, storage costs and the printing process itself, you can quickly find yourself spending more than you\u2019d make trying to monetise your art.<\/p><p>This is why print on demand is such a popular and affordable option for artists looking to sell prints of their work. Rather than hand printing your own designs on low-quality products with questionable production standards, partnering with Teemill ensures simplicity, quality and consistency. If, like many artists, you already have an Etsy store, our <a href=\"https:\/\/teemill.com\/etsy-print-on-demand-integration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">print on demand integration<\/a> is a great way to simplify selling great, sustainable products.<\/p><p>Every time an order is made with your store, Teemill handles the processing, printing and shipping, applying your incredible art and photography to a range of high-quality, sustainable products, which are then shipped in eco-friendly packaging. All you have to do is sit back and watch the orders come in.<\/p><p>Print on demand is a brilliant passive income model, as Teemill only takes a percentage of each order, rather than charging you a monthly fee. Our product range is constantly expanding, so you can accommodate your growing audience with options that suit them.<\/p><p>We\u2019ve helped many artists get their stores off the ground and their designs out in the world, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/themoonjournalstore.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Moon Journal<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/flappingfrank.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flapping Frank<\/a>, two creatives who built up their own online audience before using Teemill\u2019s print on demand to provide sustainable, high-quality merchandise.<\/p><blockquote><p>After years of being told \"that would be great on a t-shirt!\", I made the plunge.
