What is a Print Proof?

What is a Print Proof?

A print proof refers to any test impressions made from a printing plate or block to check the image quality before the final print is completed. These proofs are used as quality checks to ensure that the details and alignment are correct. Different types of proofs, such as artist's proofs or trial proofs, serve specific purposes during the printmaking process.

Mosaic

Mosaic is an art form that involves creating images by arranging many small pieces of colored tile, glass, or other materials. These pieces, often numbering in the hundreds, are placed closely together like a puzzle, each piece contributing to the overall picture.

Digital print on canvas

Digital print on canvas is a technology used to create fine art prints by reproducing digital photographs or artwork on canvas. The digital images are sent to professional printers that accurately capture variations in color and detail, resulting in high-quality canvas prints.

Aquagravure

Aquagravure is a technique that combines multiple processes. It involves compressing wet paper pulp in a carved wood mold until the water drains off. The compressed paper is then painted, and ink is added to the mold to print onto the painted paper. The final work is allowed to dry. This method results in a unique textural and visual effect, blending elements of printmaking and papermaking.
