Printroom.com has expanded its customization services. In addition to its web-ready storefront capabilities, photographers can customize how they present and sell images by creating original storefronts, customized team and player posters, and event- or organization-specific templates. The services can be implemented directly by the photographer or by designers with Platinum Digital, a newly formed partnership with Printroom.
PDS offers full site design, incorporating Printroom.com galleries, for as low as $250. For photographers who want to develop their websites themselves, Printroom.com charges a $50 fee. For development and design services from Printroom.com and Platinum Digital, there is a $35 per hour fee (the total number of development and design hours varies depending on site complexity, size and requirements).
Printroom also has released Pro Studio Manager 2.5 for Mac OS X. PSM provides a complete digital photography management tool for photographers using Printroom.com services, including the creation and management of image galleries and fulfillment of client orders. PSM 2.5 is optimized for high-volume photographers, such as those shooting weddings and sporting events, producing large quantities of images and posting them online. Photographers may join Printroom.com by paying a $99 membership fee, which provides hosted space for more than 7,500 images, PSM 2.5, business services, training, customer service and technical support, as well as access to the creation and management of online galleries.
