Hello all,

As I have become more confident in artwork over the years, I've finally come to the point where I would be happy to actually hang some of it in my home (or someone else's home, etc). I've done prints from Kinkos on very nice quality paper before with good results - but I'd really like to hear if anyone has some tips on where to go for prints of their digital art.

I'm also very interested in a stretched canvas style print. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I�ve been doing some experimenting over some time and tried various things. Canvas printing is interesting but a little degrading IMO (why did�nt you just paint it with oils to start with if you�re using canvas).
I think the best thing I�ve found is lightjet printing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LightJet , where you take a digital file and it�s developed on photo paper the traditional way. It�s a bit expensive sometimes (depends a bit on the place) but i think it�s totally worth it. You can then take the photo and do anything you want with it, mounting it on a MDF or an aluminium plate for example.

This made me think - has anyone tried to make contact prints off a monitor? As in, put a piece of photo paper onto a monitor, turn the backlight on for 10-20 secs, whatever the right amount turns out to be, develop. I'm not suggesting it as a method of serious printing if you want clarity and faithful reproduction, but it might look interesting.
