Allyson Reynolds new Moths print

Allyson Reynolds  has just released a new limited edition artist print from her Moths series and can been viewed on her website.  

More artists are embracing the opportunities presented by advances in printing technologies to produce collectable and affordable small edition prints of stunning quality not seen before.

Wolfgang Tillmans discussing this exciting advancement in the current edition of ARTFORUM said:  "The experience of pure colour has been heightened to a new level:  That is where I think there has been a seismic change in technology, what [David] Hockney referred to as colours that have not been possible before, colours with deep richness.  The quality of ink and ink-jet printing has become even more amazing in recent years and manufacturers are now using pigmented ink, which lasts much longer than traditional C-type colour photographs".
