PUBLISHING AND PRINTING

PUBLISHING

In 2002, Patricia Correia established a new division in Fine Art Printing
and Publishing. This new division is located at the Patricia Correia
Gallery and was founded in 1991.

Artists are invited to come create fine art prints at the Patricia Correia
Atelier. Projects are as unique as each artist'svision and the
participating artists are included by invitation only. This division was
also designed to interface with collectors, art professionals and galleries
to provide additional venues for Limited Edition artwork. The publishing
division focuses on unique one of a kind projects and provides a facility
for artists to push the boundaries in their own art making practice through
the pigment print process.

PRINTING

Digital prints are images that have been originally created, scanned (or
both) on a computer and printed with a 6 color printer that communicates
with the computer. Printing of digital imaging that use archival pigments
is revolutionizing the art world and photography. Five years ago, Epson
engineers improved upon technology developed for precision color inkjet
printers and just 1 year ago developed the 9500 printer with 6 color pigment
cartridges that make prints look as good as conventional printing methods
such as Lithographs and Serigraphs. Complex mathematical algorithms at the
heart of the printer's software translate images into millions of small,
clean round dots of archival pigments that are precisely positioned on the
paper. This unique printer has the capability of printing on numerous types
of paper including fine art watercolor paper as large as 44"x 100'. With
advanced technological and color expertise, the accuracy and output achieved
is museum quality. The present life expectancy of the most common types of
color photographs ranges from 2 or 3 years to an upward limit of about 60
years. Mr. Wilhelm (world renowned authority on the conservation of color
photographs) calculated that the new pigment prints will last 200 years,
which constitutes them as "archival".
