Welcome to the exciting world of art prints, where your masterpieces can finally break free from the confines of your studio and make their way into the wild world of commerce. In this guide, we'll dive into how you can create art prints from your original artwork and why partnering with a professional printing service can make all the difference.

Step 1: Prepare your painting for reproduction

Creating art prints starts with a high-quality original painting. You want to make sure your painting is in top condition before moving forward with the reproduction process. This includes cleaning the canvas or paper and making any necessary touch-ups to the painting.

Step 2: Digitise your painting

Once your painting is looking spiffy, it's time to get it digitised. Whether you're scanning or photographing your work, make sure the image is high-resolution and captures the full painting. You don't want to miss any of those juicy details, do you? This step does require some equipment like a camera or scanner. If you don't have access to these things we recommend finding a professional who can help you out.

Step 3: Edit the digital file

Now that you have a digital copy of your painting, it's time to edit the file to ensure that the colours and details are true to the original. This step may involve adjusting the contrast, brightness, and colour balance to achieve the desired result. If you're not a Photoshop pro, don't sweat it! Hire a professional or get in touch with us at Artist Services, where we like beers and pastries.

Step 4: Choose a fine art printing service

Choosing the right printing service is critical for creating high-quality art prints. A professional printing service, like Artist Services, will use the best materials and techniques to ensure that every print is a true representation of your original artwork. We will also work closely with you to make sure every detail is perfect, from the paper type to the finish. Trust us to bring your artwork to life with beautiful, high-quality art prints.

Working with a professional printing service has many benefits, including:

• Quality materials: Professional printing services use high-quality materials, such as archival paper and pigment-based inks, to ensure that your prints will last for years without fading or deteriorating.
• Consistent results: A professional printing service will ensure that every print is consistent in colour and quality, giving your customers a seamless experience.
• Customisation: A professional printing service can offer customisation options, such as different paper types and finishes, to create a unique product that stands out from the crowd.
• Time-saving: Reproducing art prints can be a time-consuming process, but a professional printing service can handle the entire process for you, saving you time and energy.

Step 5: Proof and finalise your art prints

Before your prints are ready for sale, it's important to proof them to ensure that they meet your expectations. Look for any issues such as colour discrepancies or pixelation. Once you're happy with the result, you can finalise your art prints and start selling them. Yay!
