How are prints made from original paintings?
1 Answer
How prints are made from original paintings varies. For centuries, the primary methods were traditional printmaking techniques such as engraving, etching, aquatint, drypoint and woodcut. Today, many artists use digital technology, scanning and photographing paintings and then using the files to produce giclée prints using large, specialized inkjet printers.
