Art Prints
Aside from art posters which had become popular among art collectors and art lovers, art prints also became known worldwide. Since not all can afford to have original paintings by famous artists, the closest that anyone whose budget is a bit limited can get is the art print. Just like original paintings, art prints are now considered collectibles and much sought after. In the past, there were only three ways of making prints. First is through relief method. In this, the print is carved on a raised surface. The design is then inked and printed Second is "intaglio" and is the opposite of relief printing. In "intaglio", the print is made from the lines of areas which have been cut or burned away. The third method is the planographic process wherein the most popular way is lithography. This process was popularly used because it was less complicated and was better suited to mass production. Art prints are also reproduced through the process known as giclée printing that involves the spraying of inks or pigments onto non-photosensitive papers, capturing the rich and vibrant colors of the original artwork. Unlike posters, art prints are more durable and can last for several years, but even so, they must be treated with special care so that they will last longer. Transportation of prints is usually done by packing the piece in a tube, this protects the print in transit. Art prints can be excellent wall decors for your homes and offices. They add color and class to any room though they are just copies of original artworks. Art prints also show the preferences and styles of the people occupying the room decorated with a particular art print. You may have a renaissance theme in your room with a print of a renaissance painting. You may also opt for an Asian inspired room or you can give your room a modern look by just simply hanging art prints. This type of artwork is also a very good idea for a gift.

Art prints are copies of original paintings by
artists. They may be done by the artist himself or by
others. The artist who made the original painting can make
as much as 50 prints or more. Because this is not
considered the original work, art prints are cheaper than
the original artwork. This price difference has made the
shipping of such pieces very affordable.
