Summary
Independent artists face prohibitive costs for premium printing (e.g., metal prints) to display at juried art fairs, forcing them to reduce inventory or rely on digital displays. This compromises their presentation and sales potential, while leaving expensive devices like iPads or laptops vulnerable to theft. No affordable high-quality printing or safe digital display solutions exist for artists on a budget.
