Let me try to clear up the wholesale price question. It sounds like they operate like a gallery. If you put your work in a gallery and it sells, what you get is not 100% of the selling price—they get a commission. In this case, the commission looks like 50%.
What I find unusual is the statement that they are going to do the printing. Generally, a gallery has the artist assume all the costs of printing and framing. You price the final product and you get a portion of the sale. It sounds like they may double the image price and pocket that, but they might also double the printing cost and make even more. This part just sounds odd and it sounds like you'd get cut out of any of that profit.
