Tip of the Day: What's a Lithograph

If you are in the market for a very large photograph, or a poster, you may be looking at lithographs in your local gallery and not even know it. A lithograph is quite a bit different from a photograph, since it is not produced from a digital print file, or from a film slide or a negative. Instead, a negative is used to expose the emulsion which was applied to paper. This process creates a positive image. A special printing press is used then to apply colors to the exposed positive image on paper. The process is very complex, and interesting. However, should you consider such a print? Absolutely!
