Well people have scanners too, so even if you only sell prints it's just a matter of time. But that's the whole thought behind this site, is that while you may not be able to stop all piracy, this site opens up the opportunity for many people who do want to support you by purchasing prints and/or digitals. =3
You may want to rethink your digital prices though. It's always up to the artist what to sell their work for, but more people would be inclined to add a digital to a basket the lower the price is. ^_^; I mean people are already selling several pictures for $3 to $5, and with the vast resources people have on the internet, it's hard to claim much higher value than a buck or two for single images.
I would be more inclined to reduce the price if Inkbunny wasn't nabbing 20% of it just to allow people to download. It's way too high a fee and puts me off offering this in the first place.
I think the idea that I get $2 for someone using my art to print out for themselves isn't unreasonable, to be honest. :/ What will $2 buy you in the real world? Some candy or a soda?

One thing Starling didn't mention and which I covered elsewhere but can't find: Customers hate additional fees. It can kill a whole transaction. They're often less sensitive to price hikes than they are to fees.
Artists don't have as much choice as customers. They tend to have to pay a fee if they want to sell at all. But it's a lot easier for an individual customer just to walk away. So inevitably, sites tend to focus on charging artists rather than customers, in the hope that it will increase sales.
So if you need to raise your prices, you should do so. At least then it fairly reflects the cost. People end up paying and making about the same per transaction whoever pays the fees, only customers feel better about not getting nickeled-and-dimed and so (hopefully) buy more.
