The first mechanical reproductions were prints made in about the 5th century. Such prints allowed an artist to distribute many copies of his or her work, with few or no differences between the copies. This article details visual qualities and techniques involved in five kinds of art prints. The oldest form of printmaking is the woodcut. Originally, these art prints were created when an artist drew a sketch on a block of wood, and then cut away all parts of the wood that were not to be inked. Ink was then rolled onto the block of wood, sticking to it only on the raised sections of the drawing. After inking, the block could be pressed onto a sheet of paper to transfer the drawing. Engraving is another form of printmaking. In contrast to woodcut, in engraving the block has depressed areas to which the ink clings. Copper is typically used for the metal block. Then a sketch is scraped onto the metal with special engraving tools. This process allows for many more copies to be produced than woodcut, since a metal plate is very durable. One interesting variation on engraving is called drypoint. Here, the tool used to engrave the sketch leaves a fine, feathered edge. No other printing process creates the same effects as those seen in drypoint art prints. A disadvantage is that drypoint prints cannot be made in large quantities, because the feathered edges on the plate eventually wear smooth and lose their unique quality. Lithography begins by sketching an image onto a solid limestone block with a grease pen or similar medium. When acid is applied, the drawing is literally burned into the block, capturing small details that can be blurred or lost with other printing processes. Finally, the giclee print process uses more modern, digital imaging techniques. A digital scan is reproduced on paper using jets of finely colored ink. Color is mixed into many different shades on the page, creating a high-resolution print with a rich level of detail. Because of the visual richness, popular giclee prints include landscapes and flower paintings. Giclee prints for sale are reasonably priced and available at many fine art print shops. The oldest form of mechanical reproduction is called printmaking which goes back in time to about the 5th century. With this form of reproduction the artist can send out many copies of his art, identical or otherwise. This article talks about five different types of art prints the techniques used to make them, and their artistic results. The modern imaging process used in making giclee prints reproduces a digital scan onto paper. In this process high-quality colored ink is sprayed onto the page using jets.

Title: Perfect Photo Prints
|
|
Copyright © 2006 Peter Horner
There are many ways to share your landscape photos with digital photography, but photo prints remain the most popular. Prints can be framed and hung up on the wall to show your photos off to friends and family. Creating the perfect print can become even more challenging if your monitor isn’t calibrated properly. You will have suddenly wasted your time, paper and ink on a print which doesn’t match what you see on your monitor. Read these quick tips for getting the best prints possible.
Dpi and Ppi - When you make a print of one of your photos on an inkjet printer, a lot is happening inside the printer. Inkjet printers work by spraying ink dots of cyan, magenta, yellow and black from nozzles while they pass over the paper. Most inkjet printers have a print resolution of 1440dpi and some printers go as high as 5760dpi. In general, the higher the resolution of your printer the greater detail you can print and the better your photo will look. The single biggest point of confusion comes from Dots per inch and Pixels per inch. Dpi is very different from ppi, which is the resolution of an image on your computer screen. Printers create dozens of tiny dots to fill the space of one pixel, and the more pixels you pack in an inch the finer the detail will look. The ideal resolution for printing an image is 300 to 400dpi/ppi.
Ink and Paper - You have a lot of options when choosing different quality inks and paper types, all of which can be combined to form a satisfying result. Different photo papers will give surprisingly different results from the same photo printed on the same printer. Photo paper comes in many different styles, weights, and photo finishes, including matte, glossy and varying degrees of gloss, which is usually called semi-gloss. Colour photos usually look best when printed onto glossy or semi-gloss photo paper, while black and white photos usually look better on matte. It is also worth while creating and saving different profiles for your printer for each type of photo paper you use. This is because on some papers a printer may use too much of one colour, instead of correcting the colour yourself you can select a profile you created before. The cost of ink can sometimes be greater than that of paper. Purchasing brand name inks by your printer manufacturer is usually the safest option and will produce the best results. Remember that printer damage caused by third party printer cartridges sometimes isn’t covered by manufacturers. Some companies such as Lyson produce high end inks which in some cases are better than the manufacturers own. Archival qualities and resistance to colour fading is also important when choosing inks. For example pigment based inks help guarantee that your prints will remain crisp and vibrant for many years. If you are going to print a large quantity of photos it is also worth checking the prices of online printing stores to see if they are a better option for you.
Monitor and Printer Calibration - Calibrating your monitor and printer is essential when viewing and printing your photos. Your monitor could be displaying inaccurate colours and density. Adobe Photoshop comes with something called Adobe Gamma which will most likely already be installed on your computer. You can use Adobe Gamma to create an ICC profile which uses calibration settings to change the way your monitor reproduces colours. Start Adobe Gamma, located in Control Panel and then select step by step and follow the instructions. Daylight can affect the accuracy of colours displayed on your monitor, this is why its best to carry out your monitor calibration in a darkened room. The first and most important step in printer calibration is to use the correct driver for your printer. Every printer driver comes with its own calibration controls and tools, designed for fine tuning the overall colour of your prints. You can visual calibrate your printer using test images with a wide range of tonal values, including colours bars, photographs, and blocks of colours. You can then adjust the colours using your printer’s controls to match on screen with what you have in print. Alternatively ICC profiles provide a way to insure consistent colour reproduction. Every printer comes with default profiles for use with different combinations of inks and paper which may be suitable for your needs.

Title: Why Choose Art Prints?
|
|
Art prints are the latest way to add style and charm to your home or apartment. You can choose from the latest artists or hang up some of the founders of modern art. While many people scoff at the idea of art prints, there is a lot to be said for these paper replications of the ‘real’ things.And here’s why you just may want to change your mind too.
When you find art prints in a store or online, the first thing you will notice is how cheap they are in comparison to real paintings or prints.Because they’re merely copies of the real pieces of art, they can be sold at much lower prices. They are also produced in larger quantities, further reducing the price and making them affordable for anyone. While a cheap price isn’t always a necessity when you’re buying art, these prints do allow you to have more art hanging in your home than you might if you were paying full price.
The many varieties of art that you can find in art prints also offer you more flexibility.You can choose a modern art piece for the living room, but then try an impressionistic work in the bedroom. No matter what your tastes are, you can find an art print that will suit you. There are hundreds of possibilities in terms of images, colors, and styles – all ready for you to hang on your wall and change as your needs or tastes change.
Easy to mat and frame yourself, art prints offer the homeowner or apartment renter the ability to hang their own art in their home. And by choosing a particular mat color, you can emphasize one color in the piece or simply draw attention to the piece in a particular room. You might also want to have the print matted professionally, but it’s often much cheaper if you do so yourself.These prints allow you to ‘do it yourself’ when it comes to adding art to your home space.
With the large quantities that are available in art prints, you can get multiple copies of the same print, if you like.; This can create an interesting effect in a single room or allow for you to have a repeating theme in a number of rooms. You can also easily give these prints as presents to family members or to a child that’s moved out in order for them to remember a piece of home. If something should happen to your print, you don’t have to worry about not being able to replace it as most art prints can be reordered without any problem.
When you purchase art prints, you’re not being cheap or ruining the vision of the artist. While it’s true that you’re not getting the exact work of the artist, you are celebrating their work. Prints allow everyone to own a piece of fine art, without being worried about insurance costs or if it should fall down. Art is meant to be accessible to everyone and art prints ensure that this accessibility occurs.

Title: Affordable Paintings: Art Prints Buying Guide
|
|
The fastest way to bring beauty and style to a room is to put up prints of beautiful paintings. Here's what you should consider: Painting Prints Price Range: Expect to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $50-$500 for an unframed print--anything less than $50 is likely a poster. You should expect to pay a similar amount to have the print framed--note that many prints are designed to be exhibited without frames. Before art prints were sold online, the only way to get them was through galleries or museum shops, which had to charge a large markup. Nowadays, art prints rarely cost more than a few hundred dollars, and it is possible to find good-quality prints for under $100. Still, those lower prices generally come on prints that have been put on sale. Expect to pay more for perennial favorites like Van Gogh's “Starry Night”. Selection There is at least one print of every painting or photograph on display in a museum anywhere. Thanks to the internet, you can find the right art print among the tens of thousands in existence and have it sent to you, regardless of where the original is located. Since websites will let you browse thumbnail images of the artwork, it's easy to find a particular piece even if all you know about it is the name of the artist or even just the time period in which it was created. Painting Print Media Prints are available in a variety of print stocks. Prints vs. Original Paintings If all you're interested in is a picture to decorate your wall, rather than in collecting, prints are a better value than original paintings. Here's why: * Expense. Creating an original work of art generally takes weeks. If you had to employ someone for several weeks or several months, how much do you think it would cost at even a modest salary? That's why original artwork generally costs at least thousands of dollars. In order to have a real chance of your work of art having investment value, you need to buy the work of an artist who is moving up in the art market. * Questionable investment value. Original artwork only has investment value if the price goes up eventually. Very often, the price does not. In short, if you're interested in investing, buy stocks--it's a safer bet. Only buy art because *you* value it. * Knowledge. You need to be very knowledgeable about what you are doing. Make no mistake: there's plenty of fraud in this business. There is also plenty of wishful thinking on the part of art dealers when it comes to a work's long-term market prospects. Ready to make your home more beautiful with prints of great paintings? You're already in the right place: the internet has numerous websites offering an unbelievable array of art prints. Start looking now.

Title: Giclee Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
Q: What are there significant quality differences between these types of prints? A: In terms of resolution, a giclee print has the highest resolution and color range. Giclee printmaking offers one of the highest degrees of accuracy and richness of color available in any reproductions technique. Giclee printmaking provides a luminosity and brilliance that represents the artist's original work better than any reproduction technique available today. A Serigraph is created when paint is 'pushed' through a silkscreen onto paper or canvas. A different screen is used for each color in the print, and this results in a print with great color density and many qualities of the original piece in terms of color saturation. This process also adds some texture to the final product. A Lithograph is the least manually intensive reproduction technique, and in turn, is not as expensive as a serigraph or giclee. Although images can have a high resolution, and excellent appearance, they will not have the same degree of color fastness, resolution or color density as a serigraph or giclee. Q: Why do Giclee prints have serial numbers? A: The serial number is used to indicate that a limited edition has been signed and numbered by the artist himself/herself. Q: Will the value of a limited edition increase like other collector's items? A: Being limited in number, demand for certain limited edition prints can be greater than the number of reproductions produced for the edition. Once an edition is sold out from the publisher, which means that the print is no longer available from the publisher, but they may still be available from an authorized dealer, the prints are considered to be on the Secondary Market. This means that the print can be bought and sold by any dealer or individual, often above issue price, depending on supply and demand. Q: What is meant by the term 'Archival' and 'acid-free'? A: Paper or canvas treated to neutralize its natural acidity in order to protect fine art and photographic prints from discoloration and deterioration. Q: Why does it take longer to get my Limited Edition print than it does to get a poster? A: Each limited edition is ordered from the publisher upon immediate demand. Therefore, we must take shipping time into account. In the event that you choose to have your limited edition print frame then you must also allow time to custom frame your print to your exact specifications. Q: What is an Artist's Proof, or what does A/P mean? A: A small group of prints set aside from an edition for an artist's or printer's use. Typically some of the first prints pulled from a limited edition of prints, they are marked as an A.P. and [sometimes] left unnumbered. Artist's proofs generally draw a higher price than other impressions. Q: Why are Limited Edition prints so much more expensive? A: The premium price of limited editions is a function of the limited supply of each product, and the exceptionally high quality of these prints. Typically, the more manually intensive the process is, the more each limited edition print will cost. Q: What is a Limited Edition? A: A limited edition is a series of identical prints, which are limited to a one-time printing of a certain number of pieces. The artist determines the size of the edition, and usually signs and numbers each individual piece. here are some reseources on the above information sources: www.xtremetropicals.com/Xdebbiegiclee.html Come join the art adventure at http://www.artideas4u.com and learn how you can have a business with limited edition quality canvas giclee paintings.
