Any chance of further options/sizes for MetalPrints?

Just wondering, is there any plan to introduce other options for MetalPrints apart from the current glossy/rounded corners option?

Also, is there any chance of introducing larger sizes, particularly in panoramic formats? I have had some 20"x60" panoramas printed (which look spectacular!) and would love to make them available to clients!

Ahh, SmugMug and Bay Photo. Does it get any better?? Well, it could, and it will!

We hope to add more Bay Photo awesomeness as we're able, and hopefully that'll include more in the MetalPrints line. They're very popular, super durable, and absolutely gorgeous.

It's much more complicated than our simply wanting to offer more products through Bay, though. We'll keep our nose to the grindstone and promise to keep hearing what our pros are saying!

I'll keep my eyes peeled - would love to be able to offer 20"x60" Metalprints, in both glossy and satin, with a flush-mounted frame, to give the appearance of a floating block mount while retaining the metallic appearance!

You don't need to wait for SM to integrate these Bay Photo options. You can offer them directly to your customers.

See my website. Click "Products > Stadium Prints". I sell a panorama there. Right now my website only offers one size, but I've contacted Bay Photo about larger sizes (including 20" x 60" and larger). They gave me pricing and general shipping costs that I can use to set my own prices. I have an order form on my site that my customers can use to order the print from me. In the near future I will update my site with the larger sizes.

Similarly, you can do something similar with other products you want to sell that aren't Bay Photo. You'll notice I sell Wallhogs too. See my website "Products > Wallhogs". In the future I plan on offering framing services and other products that my customers are requesting.

All my forms are created on jotform.com and are embeded into my SM website. You need to know a bit of HTML code to do this, but you can figure it out if you don't already have that experience. It is well worth knowing so you can do this type of customization.

Is the process still automated, or would I have to invoice clients myself, then forward payment to Bay Photo, collect the prints myself, then forward them back to the client? Would shipping protection and customer satisfaction guarantees extend to the clients, or would I have to take those risks on board too? Right now, it's fairly easy just going through Smugmug, particularly as this isn't my primary source of income...

Unfortunately, I'm not particularly good with HTML...
