Road to printing: Image resolution
Today, most artist use computer to create their artwork. Artbooks are, as much as it might seems derogative, an industrial product, printed in a certain quantity. Quality is affected as soon as it’s printed, and I will explain how in this article. There are several steps on the road to printing, but the major two are the drawing and the printing itself which I will try to explain in-depth, though I can’t guarantee the accuracy of my information. I will also provide several reference to artists and artbooks to illustrate the technical aspect. This is the first article in a serie of 4, as it’s a bit too long for one post.
The road start from the white paper, and I will go until it get digitalized. Second article will be about colors on screen, then colors in printing, and finally paper and screening. I’m also introducing the Shadowbox on the blog since the Lightbox didn’t work. To get the full size of an image, you will have first to click on it, then save the image on your computer.
