geogphotos Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Excuse me if I should know about this. I've had two today Country: United Kingdom Usage: Consumer goods Media: Retail poster Print run: up to 1,000 Image Size: up to 1/8 area Start: 30 July 2024 End: 30 July 2027 wall art - Print on Demand Sales Q2-2024 Country: United Kingdom Usage: Consumer goods Media: Retail poster Print run: up to 1,000 Image Size: up to 1/8 area Start: 30 July 2024 End: 30 July 2027 wall art - Print on Demand Sales Q2-2024 Wondering what it means and why the price difference for the same licence for what looks like the same user. $ 53.44 $ 8.55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I had one of those today ($4.53), exactly the same terms. It's an image that I probably should have originally marked as being for editorial use only. However, I did check the no property release box.

John Mitchell Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Just checked and I had another one of these sales in May of this year. It was for the grand sum of $5.16, so it looks as if you're doing well. 🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Photography Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I thought it said Retail Poster? What does the Print on Demand mean? 7/8 of it must be a blank border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogphotos Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 A reply from Alamy says that these are from print sales through partners ( eg Media Storehouse)and the price reflects the size/product chosen by the customer. Not sure about the Print Run or 1/8 area. The wording of the licence doesn't always match the reality. My understanding is that these are for a one-off print or poster. I can't see mine on Media Storehouse. A 'Buy a Print' option is coming to Alamy soon -which I very much welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense because the Alamy reply mentioned it and I didn't realise that it was live. I don't see any 'Buy the Print' option on Safari or Chrome.

Lynchpics Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I have not used Safari or opera to log into Alamy and i can see the print button when i use either of them (not logged in). Using chrome, my goto browser for alamy, i can not see the print button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynchpics Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Also had some strange search results when using the other web browser's when compared to using chrome, might just be a glitch so will have to do a bit more checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Harrison Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 It could catch on I guess, might have been nice if Alamy told us how it was going to work before it went live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices appear to be the standard ones at Media Storehouse so I assume that they know the market. Personally I think this is a great move to try and develop consumer sales for our images. But there will be others who sell direct facing a dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubens Alarcon Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 The "Buy the print" option does not show on Chrome, but it does on Edge. The license options on the right are also all gone on Edge. You only have the option to buy a Standard or an Enhanced license. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that if you were the sort of photographer who promoted his work via a blog it could be very handy, and credit to you for doing it. Photographers who already sell their prints via another route will not be so pleased which is why some notice would have been reasonable I would think.

Harry Harrison Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) It's an interesting blog and your archive pictures are particularly fascinating, print sales can only help I would have thought. The margins will be low but at least there's nothing to administer. I absolutely agree that it's a good move, I've no problem with people buying a print, I always had a problem with them getting a high resolution download for next to nothing.

I'm also seeing the Print on Demand and Standard and Enhanced licence options in Brave Browser (which like Edge is based on Chromium) but only when not signed in. As soon as I'm signed in I get the usual licence options and no POD. It looks like Alamy are experimenting with / testing the new options on new customers only using some (less popular?) browsers?
