I'm sure many of you may have already heard of cafepress.com.
For those who haven't, I'll sum it up quickly-
They use a business model I'm fascinated with as it relates to the net.
You can put up your own images, and users are able to order various products with your images on it. Shirts, mousepads, etc. The catch is that cafepress handles ALL of the actual work. They print everything, handle the charges, and do all the shipping. You set your own price (at or above cafepress' base price) and receive all of the profit above cafepress' base on every sale. On demand service arguably at its best.
So anyway, I found a new site which uses a similar business model.
It's called zazzle.com. Slightly different structure and pricing ( you receive 12% on every sale) but essentially the same species.
What's interesting about zazzle is that they offer poster printing at up to 35"x52.5", plus on canvas! This could potentially make them very appealing as a source for prints, as you can pass on all the work and cost to them.
I haven't used either yet, so I can't comment on quality and durability personally, but these are definitely worth checking out as a potential source of income for artists.
