Introduction

Agency Services are provided under contract by an Affiliate of Cinemage Corporation, NeTitles Productions Corp. NeTitles provides photography, scanning and cataloguing services for the fine art reproduction service at www.fineartprints.ca, as well as for the stock photo services at www.prophotos.ca and www.valuepics.com . All three services are operated by Cinemage Corporation, under licenses allowing it to distribute all images produced by NeTitles Productions Corp.

Print on Demand Service

Working with a local print and poster shop we are about to prototype a “print-on-demand” service. The business focus of our photography sites to this point has been on commercial stock photography, where images purchased are used for commercial purposes such as in magazine articles, advertisements, or web illustrations. The images purchased are in electronic form.

Recognizing that many of the images in our collection have significant artistic merit, through the print-on-demand service we will be making available for purchase individual printed copies of the images.

For this service, a computer connected to the Cinemage photo collection will be located in an existing print and poster shop. Customers can search the collection to find the images that they wish to purchase. The store will then print the image on a high-quality printer. Printing takes only minutes so the customer can walk away with a finished print. The customer will have the option of also having the print professionally mounted and framed.

The advantage for the print shop is that they can make available a wider variety of images for sale without incurring inventory cost or having to order prints for later delivery. The advantage for the customer is also a wider selection of available images as well as almost instant turn-around on their purchase.



Stock Photography Collection Grows

The Prophotos.ca collection continues to grow with several new photographers signing on in the past year and with our existing photographers continuing to expand their collections. The collection now stands at over 5500 high-quality images.

Recent new contributors include Accent Alaska, an agency representing primarily nature and wildlife photographers from Alaska, and Dr. Bill Hamilton, a BC photographer who specializes in urban environments including heritage architecture and murals.
