Prints and paper...
Hi all
When an artist makes multiple prints of a painting or drawing, what kind of paper is used? Are the copies made by a photographic process?

Worth referring to the Fine Art Trade Guild for this info. The usual min thickness of paper is 300gsm (grammes per square metre). Two types of reproduction are done nowadays, one is a Litho print and the other is Giclee (Pronounced Gee - Clee). A google word search should do the rest as corporate links are not allowed here.
