Collecting prints
Many five star hotels in Cape Town, as well as Cape Town guest houses and holiday homes, are decorated with some fine contemporary South African art. Recently, prints have been found more commonly in art collections rather than paintings and sculptures, which come in and out of fashion.
The difference between a print and a reproduction is that an original print is an image that exists only in print and was created by the artist as a print, usually in collaboration with a master print maker. A painting, or anything else that has been photographed and then printed, is a reproduction.
For an amateur art collector, planning on buying a set of prints to decorate their Cape Town holiday house, it may be best to buy the prints from a professional workshop, where the printmakers work directly with the artists.
The printmakers will be able to explain the process of printmaking to the collector, who is far more likely to buy a print made from light-fast inks and printed on acid free archival paper so that the prints won’t fade or crumble with time, ensuring that their investment is kept intact.
It is recommended that when purchasing a print, buyers request a certificate of authenticity. This includes all of the details of how the print was made and is signed by the printer as well as the artist to verify its integrity and that it has been correctly numbered. That is, to disclose the number that the particular print is in the edition, this is usually indicated on the bottom of the page in the border, along with the artist’s signature, the title and date.
Printing Companies
Most, if not all companies will require professional print services at some point, but it is generally a far better idea to outsource this printing to specialised print services companies, rather than to in source the work. From a business point of view outsourcing is the hiring of services from an outside sources, primarily another company, whereas in sourcing is the decision to use the internal resources of your company in order to keep control over a business activity, such as printing.
There are several reasons why outsourcing even simple printing jobs can be an extremely good idea for any company. Outsourcing your printing services can save you a great deal of valuable time that you would have otherwise wasted trying to print using in-house resources. There are a huge number of printing companies that permit online printing, allowing you to go from your initial design for the print down to the final product without leaving your office and with little more than a few clicks of your mouse.
“Time is money”, as people say, so by saving you time outsourcing your printing services will also save you money.
The time you could have wasted using in-house resources to print what you wanted is instead spent more productively by your company and your employees. As producing print services internally would require extra labour you would also save money on the employees you do not have to employ to run your print services. You also wouldn’t have to pay the costs of purchasing, operating and maintaining the equipment required for printing. By leaving your printing services to specialist, professional printers you are guaranteeing a greater quality of work than if you tried to produce the work internally.
