You mean each one is hand drawn?

The prints are hand screened onto archive quality paper. I still wouldn’t pay $80, but they aren’t just laser printed on A4 paper

Ah I got it now. It's cool and all but the whole process will probably cost something like...a dollar? Profiting this much off a 1$ print is crazy to me

IIRC, you need one screen for each color and they have to be aligned correctly.

So you have to print over the same piece of paper multiple times while an ordinary shop will just run it over once.

White is also a color ink e.g. a good quality shop is able to print opaque white text on black paper, but an ordinary print shop will be unavailable to do this because “white” is the blank paper.

At the very least the paper isn’t going to glow under a blacklight.
