The digital image can be printed on conventional color photographic print materials, commonly referred to as digital chromagenic prints or “digital c-prints,” using continuous tone print writers such as the Durst Lambda or CSI Lightjet. However, there is a loss of control and flexibility.ĭurst Lambda continuous tone printer (left) and Epson 9880 wide-format pigment printer (right) Using an outside printmaking studio or printing service provides access to knowledgeable professionals utilizing state-of-the-art technology and equipment and a lower initial investment cost.

The advantages to self-printing include full artistic control though the learning curve and upfront investment pose challenges in the beginning. In getting involved in digital printing, the type of digital output desired (quality and cost) as well as whether to do the printing yourself or have a printmaking studio or printing service, such as a commercial photography lab, are important initial decisions.

With continuing advances in digital print making, artists can now have greater technical control and consistency with increased cost efficiency and better storage flexibility. In the past, making original prints, especially of a larger scale and in color, would be a costly process with varying degrees of artistic control and consistency. Traditional fine art prints or prints on paper, including relief prints, intaglio prints, lithography, screenprints and monoprints.Ĭomputer technology and digital printmaking brings together the possibilities of each of these artistic sensibilities and languages. Alternative process prints include cyanotypes, albumen prints, platinum and palladium prints, as well as chemically toned prints. Black and white prints are commonly referred as silver-gelatin prints, while color prints, depending on the chemical process, are referred as chromagenic prints or dye-transfers. There are photographic prints, black and white, color and alternative process, which utilize sensitized emulsions and surfaces to form the image on paper or other media. In the past, photographic prints and traditional fine-art printmaking have been considered as separate types of prints due to the practitioners of each (photographers, painters, printmakers) and the language (techniques) of each practice. Digital uses numbers (ones and zeros) to describe and quantify each sample point or “pixel” in terms of density and tone, which can be manipulated and transformed through digital printing into a normally viewed image. Traditional (analog) printing is a mechanical process, whether in the darkroom or with printing presses, that uses a physical master or “matrix”, such as a negative or plate, to make repeatable and duplicate prints. It delivers versatility by incorporating the latest technology that adjusts the suction force before fixing according to different paper weights, stabilising the transport of thick paper.In considering the development of digital photographic output, it is important to understand the nature of the “print.” How digital output and the digital photographic print has developed is an outgrowth of the traditions and craft issues of conventional photographic printing in the darkroom, and both the commercial and fine-art printing press environments.
