 Fine Art Reproduction  The process of photographing or scanning original artworks and digitally color matching them, and then printing copies with a high quality - usually giclée - printer on conservation-grade (archival) paper or canvas. 
 
We offer high quality fine art print reproductions of your favorite artwork. |  
|  Flatbed Printer  A printer, generally wide-format, that can print directly onto rigid materials. Instead of passing a roll of substrate through, the flat material is placed on a bed or table equipped with rollers, which feed it beneath a sliding print head. |  
|  Flood  In printing, this term refers to filling an entire page with ink, so that no blank paper or canvas remains. This is also known as "painting the sheet". |  
|  Foil imaging  A relatively new style of printmaking that was first practised in the late 1980s, foil imaging involves using a heat press to apply roll-leaf, "hot stamped" foil to various surfaces to create iridescent, reflective images. Some artists combine traditional printmaking methods with foil imaging in their pieces. |
