What is the process of taking original art and creating professional reprints?

Posted by admin
C.M.Falkenhagen asked:


I have pencil drawings that I wish to sell, but I don’t want to sell the originals. What is the process of creating professional reprints? If I just go to Kinko’s or something it looks like what it is - I put the art on a copy machine. If I take my own picture of the art and put it in photoshop and clean it up before taking it to something like Kinko’s, the quality it’s quite up to par. I want a more or less exact duplication of the original. How in the world do I do it?

    Put your stuff on deviantart.com, they’ll allow people to sell them there, and they take care of all of the ordering, processing, and whatever else. You have to upload them to the website, by either taking a picture with a camera and putting on your computer, or scanning it with a scanner.

    I’m not quite sure why you’d do it. People buying art generally want original art… I’m not all that sure that copies of pencil drawings will sell.

    That said… If you want to do prints… do good prints. …Get Irises done somewhere unless you have access to a good, high rez printer that will do pigmented inks. Make sure you use top quality paper like Arches hot press, Fabriano or Rives BFK… It gives you another sales point and makes things look a hundred times better.
