<DIV>Heather, I should also add that it is typical that a good shop will be able to do the whole process, so even though I made it sound like a bunch of different processes you should be able to find one place to do it all, and well. Good luck. Let me know what kind of pricing you find and we can compare. An</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Heather, </DIV>
<DIV> I have only a little experience with Giclees or fine art digital printing but I can share the basics. First you need to get a digital file of your work. This can be done either on a scanner or in a photograph. Fine art print shops can usually make scans - I'll bet the people you work with on magazine publishing can direct you to a printer or do it themselves. Or you can have a photographer capture your image on a "copy stand" this is a easel with balanced lighting set up and a camera adjusted so that it is exactly parallel to your picture plane. If your work is on a flexible ground the scanning service might suggest a drum scanner that is one type of scanner that offers high quality results. </DIV>
<DIV> It is then essential to have someone with the skills to color balance the files to your original work so that the final print looks as close as possible to your work. </DIV>
<DIV> You will want to ask for archival, permanent inks and papers or canvas. </DIV>
<DIV> I like to work close to home since I don't really like shipping off original art work. If there is an art club or group in your area you might be able to ask them for names of good printers.</DIV>
<DIV>Does this help? Ann</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
