The artist's choice of paper and printing technique are just as critical as the artist's subject and style.
Types of Printing
Artists choose from three types of fine quality printing:
- Giclee uses a specialized printer to deliver a fine stream
of ink onto archival paper. It results in museum-quality art of incredibly
vivid color, depth, and resolution that captures the essence of the artist’s
intent.
- Serigraphy presses ink through a silk screen resulting
in a print that resembles a painting. Silk-screening enables the artist to
vary colors and patterns while printing.
- Lithography uses a substance to draw an image on limestone
or a metal plate. Ink coats the design and repels non-greasy areas. Finally,
paper is laid over the stone to transfer the linked image onto the page. The
process is repeated for each color in the image.
