It is our goal to achieve reproductions that are as close as possible to the original. Our artists have experience and expertise in the full spectrum of styles, ranging from traditional, renaissance, romantic and impressionist through to abstract and modern art. But remember these reproductions are hand-painted and some variation from the original is possible.

It will be quite close, and you probably would not be able to tell the difference by looking at it. The slight degradation is due to the MrSID format being slightly lossy.

Only an expert can tell, and even they are sometimes fooled. They look for paper condition and print quality, printer's marks and numbers, picture and paper size. An expert is usually familiar with the characteristics of known reprints, like off-colors or print method. Sometimes only a direct comparison with a undisputed original can tell.

A large number of the items on our web site are originals. Unless a poster is specifically indicated as a "Reproduction", a "Poster Print" or a "Masterprint", then it is an original item. Descriptions for common original items include 1 Sheet Posters, Half Sheets, Lobby Cards, Inserts, Window Cards and 3 Sheet Posters. If you have questions about a specific item, contact us anytime.

Digital File : The most important element of giclee printing is the digital file. We scan your original work using a high resloution digital camera to create this digital file. Camera Scan : The digital camera directly captures the image creating a hi-resolution file. Traditionally, the image is captured on film and is then scanned. However, this latter process leads to a loss of color accuracy, detail and does introduce 'noise' from the emulsion on the film when enlarged.

We maintain that the person who does the needlework deserves the credit, so by all means sign (and date) your work. The girl who stitched the original sampler very likely copies parts of it from one of her classmates, siblings, or teachers, so it is not a totally original design. What is unique is your rendering of the pattern, so applaud yourself and record your name. Some people dislike altering the pattern by inserting their name.

Perhaps it could be compared to buying an original watercolor or a printed copy. Some people don't see the difference. Personally, I feel you cannot compare the beauty of an original painting to a poster. It's difficult to tell the difference unless you have both, hand painted tiles and reproduction, in front of you. It is like seeing two pictures in a book. One is the picture of the original art, and the other is the picture of a poster.

As a rule, we cannot guarantee an exact match, but we will try our very best to come as close as possible to your original painting, transparency, or supplied colour reference print. With all printing processes, there will always be some colours that our inks cannot achieve, though we may be able to reach some colours that you couldn't. To ensure the best colour match possible, be sure to budget an additional 2 to 3 proofs for fine tuning you image.

Our reproduction cloth and vinyl are virtually identical to the originals. We do not approve a design until we are confident our customers will be satisfied.

All reproductions are meticulously hand-painted, with the goal of making them as identical to the original as humanly possible, using professional-quality materials and employing the same traditional techniques used by the original artists.

Reproductions are an opportunity for the general public to actually see and even own some of the otherwise unaffordable and often safely stored away art masterpieces. Whether it is a Monet in your living room that helps to educate and expose your children to art, or it is a Van Gogh in your office's reception area, these hand painted masterpieces will not only draw great attention, but they will add sophistication to your walls and rooms.

It is widely accepted that the first reproduction jars were some wax sealers made in Mexico. They were made in the colors of black-amber, emerald green and olive green. Since then other jars have appeared, some which have risen to become collectors items in their own rite and others, like the recent reproductions from China, will probably never be worth a lot to collectors. Sometimes mold seams can give a reproduction away.

There have been new reproduction fruit jars from China turning up in antique malls for outrageous prices but they're worth about $6-$8 each. The regular old zinc lids don't fit right and the aluminum lids that come with them are new and shiny giving away the jar's recent manufacture. These reproductions are copies of the old Hero jars made in the 1880s. As a collector these new jars usually have a poor quality to their color and the glass has a slicker than usual feel.

This reproduction is top quality! Many of these books were in a sad condition - they are, after all about 100 years old! I personally have meticulously restored each and every page. It often takes over 30 hours to complete just one work. The finished result is the best you can get! All books and manuals are laser printed on photo quality paper. Any color pages in the books are also printed in color, and are bound with a comb binding.
