I agree with the above: Your price is far too low. I’d test the high hundreds if I were you — $700-$900 per print.
You have enough of a following to warrant it. If you don’t feel you personally need all that money, then donate some to charity, or invest it. No one will fault you.
Last year I spent $12,000+ on original art. All of the pieces I bought (even the seriolithographs) were more than you’re charging, and those are considered low-end, mainstream art.
Raise the bar!
Good luck,
–Erica

Your price is fine for testing the market, particularly if the prints are commercially printed lithos rather than being printed by hand by the artist on limestone/zinc plate.
Better to increase the price over time than to have it flatline. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, next.
This sounds a lot like ArtMarket 2.0

Hi Hugh, glad to see you’re doing the fine art prints. Very nice. I agree though, price too low. Great work.

Could you post info on the size, please? Thanks, looks like you are off to a good start if people are pre-ordering without knowing that small but important detail

Very cool! Way to jump in to a new medium, bravo. Printmaking is an ancient art, on the verge of coming full circle to cool again, when interesting artists like you discover it. I can’t wait to see your lithos. Can you do some YouTube videos of the process for us?
