DIGITIZE:
To create your art prints the image needs to be digitized. This
can be accomplished by taking a photo of the work and scanning
or scanning the original art.
CORRECT:
Once digitized by scanning, the image file is analyzed for color
balance, contrast, brightness and many other criteria. If scratches
or dust specks are found, they are removed at this stage. See:
Fine Art Prints Archive file for a before and after example
ENLARGE:
(Optional) If your digital image is low resolution, we can optionally
enlarge it in most cases and retain image quality through using
a powerful software-driven process.
PROOF:
Proofing is simply a way of running test strips or small examples
of the print to determine if the setup phase needs tweaking. It's
important the Color Master have a good eye for color and value
(levels of gray). When satisfied with the proof, it is presented
to the client and additional changes are made or, if approved,
we move on to the final phase.
Now, the final art prints are sized and printed. It's interesting
to note that the giclée can be reprinted any number of
times at different sizes and always appear the same as the first.
SATISFACTION:
Finally, the art prints giclées, and CD with digitized
image are delivered to you.
