Drop Print } Giclée

Drop Print is a print-on-demand plugin designed for WordPress sites using WooCommerce, enabling artists to sell fine art prints through a global drop shipping network. The tool facilitates the sale and fulfillment of giclée prints by integrating directly into the WooCommerce product management workflow, allowing users to upload high-resolution artwork files, select print sizes, set prices, and automate order processing and shipping.

The plugin is tailored specifically for artists seeking to offer fine art prints without managing physical inventory or handling logistics. Users can securely upload their artwork files within the familiar WordPress dashboard, with Drop Print providing suggestions for optimal print sizes based on the uploaded image. The platform features a Quality Index algorithm, drawing on over a decade of real-world use, to estimate print quality for each paper size. Drop Print also detects available production countries for each size and paper combination, giving users the ability to choose where their prints are produced.

Security is emphasized through file encryption that exceeds military-grade standards, ensuring that uploaded artwork is protected from unauthorized access or duplication. Once an order is placed via WooCommerce, users can send it to Drop Print’s network of print labs for production. The plugin updates the WooCommerce order with shipping details, including tracking numbers where available. Pro account holders can enable auto-production, allowing orders to be sent to print automatically and access additional shipping methods and preferential pricing.

Drop Print’s global print lab network maintains consistent quality by standardizing printers, inksets, calibration equipment, and color handling methods across locations. Delivery estimates and real-time shipping rates can be calculated within the plugin or through the user’s Drop Print account. The plugin is available as a free download, with enhanced features accessible through a Pro subscription. Drop Print is positioned as a specialized solution for artists seeking to streamline the process of selling and fulfilling fine art prints worldwide.
