Gentlemen, maybe I should have expressed this in a different way. And of course Jeffrey you opinion is always welcome. The artwork is done and the master is done. So even though this is a custom hologram, since the master is done not sure how it would differ from any other hologram copy you would make, even stock images. These guys do not expect a "prestine" hologram. They do not mind the color and if each hologram was a different color that would be fine as long as it didnt have green blotch and the like on it. Gold would be fine, and that seems the easiest to reproduce.
I guess what I should have asked is, is there any DCG amateurs out there the are producing holograms and not making any money off of it that would like to take this on as some suplimental income? I can think of a few that post here that may be interested and I sure did not want to sell short the professional holographers.
As I am an amateur holographer and make holograms just for fun, 30-40 a pop was what I was willing to do it for.
BTW, I gave him a approximate price, nothing was locked in. If one of you professionals want to do it, if you made one and I showed it to him with a set price, I would be willing to do that and he may go for it. Even if you said, 100 for the prototype and whatever per after that. I truely do not know how to price just the H2 4x5 copying.
Side note: Jeffery and Joe, do professional holographers only get 3 - 4 DCG copies per an 8 hour day. I would have assumed that once a refined technique was mastered that a DCG hologram could be put out every 20 - 30 minutes or so and even if you only got 50% addequate, that would be quite a bit more over $120 a day. I do understand the emulsion and coating fabrication need to be accounted for. Please do not take this as insulting in any way. So now I am confused on how even a stock hologram would be worth doing and sell for under $20. Like the DCG pendants. Or even Auggie's image planed pendants for $45.
