DIGITAL PRINTMAKING

 

A digital print is any print produced on a computer. An artist’s digital print is not a reproduction but a limited edition work of art that does not exist in any other form. Artists create the image using computer software or, more often, they scan in a drawing, photograph, painting or traditionally generated print, then manipulate the image on computer screen to create an entirely new image which is then printed using a computer printer of some sort.

 

Prints initially created digitally can also be printed as etchings, lithographs, screenprints etc using photographic processes.
