Digital Printing

The computer is an important creative tool for many printmakers. A digital file can be used to create stencils for litho/screenprint/photo etching and also to drive laser and engraving tools. The work that is sold may be the digital file itself or a printed image of that file, commonly an inkjet print. The creative process still has to be generated by the artist whether using the computer as a tool or a burin or lithographic crayon. Many art galleries and institutions have digital prints in their collections.
