Best Print Method for Paintings?
Dilettante
printing firm. I believe "offset" is the method used. On larger sizes
the colors seem to separate out, so I wish there were a finer method.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

When it comes to 'printing' reproductions
of original art work, you generally get
what you are willing to pay for. And
the key to getting the "best" quality
prints is getting the "best" quality
photo of the art work in the first place.
Professional photo processors are becoming
as scarce as Dodo birds these days, but
there are still firms around who specialize
in "fine art" reproductions. Try "GOOGLING"
around for those still in business.

Thank you for your comment. This is a new area for me. There are no
professional photo labs accessible to me now. I suppose I will have to
depend on the printer's technology.

In the past, when I had access local to a
commercial printing company, I took my
art work to them and they did the photography
in preparation for the color separations
and printing. I was happy with the results
each time, but it wasn't cheap.
There are firms that you can contact to
handle the job by mail. GOOGLE on the
words "fine art publisher" and you'll find
lots of references.
