Steve Lyman's Beach Bonfire illustrate's the classic quality and consistent beauty of our offset lithographic prints. This process affordably allows more people to own and enjoy a work of art than the original painting would. Offset lithography is a photographic printing technique that uses inks, carried by rubber rollers called printing blankets, to transfer images from metal plates to paper. Not all prints are alike, however, even at the same price. Our inks and archival paper are specially made to our exacting specifications. While the industry for offset lithograph prints is often only four colors, we routinely create Greenwich Workshop fine art prints in as many as eighteen different colors, resulting in unmatched clarity and color fidelity to the original. Greenwich Workshop paper The paper upon which Greenwich Workshop prints are produced is a custom-made, neutral-pH sheet. The paper is designed for whiteness and brilliance, as well as longevity: in accelerated life testing by the mill, the paper has shown it can last not just for years, but for centuries. Conservation framing When you purchase a Greenwich Workshop limited edition print, please be certain that only conservation framing techniques are used to preserve the quality and value of your investment. Choose non-reflective conservation glass and acid-free matting. Likewise, be certain that no alteration, such as cutting or trimming, is done to your print in the mounting process. Finally, take precautions as to where you hang the print; avoid direct sunlight or proximity to sources of room heat.
