At English Heritage we have a solution where an outsourced provider does all the work but gives us a branded site:
http://www.englishheritageprints.com/ for print sales and
http://www.englishheritageimages.com/ for licences
I believe we get a percentage of the sale price, and I have no idea how much we make.
The provider is http://www.mediastorehouse.com/

For a zero-budget on-demand, would something like cafepress work?

Subject: [MCG] Selling image licences
We are starting to explore how we might make money from images of our collection items - images of works of art, archival photos and physical objects and I was wondering if anybody would be prepared to share on or off list how they do this and what sort of income they manage to generate.
Also interested in prints on demand that could be seamlessly linked to our online collections website www.blackcountryhistory.org <http://www.blackcountryhistory.org> so that users could order low cost prints of items they find but we have no money for development work.
