We have teamed up with Paper Eye to offer MetaLitho editions of our work. These beautiful prints are produced on our new Roland Hi-Fi Jet 52" 6-color printer. These are true archival pieces — printed with pigment inks on the finest media.
Whether based on an original oil painting, a purely digital work, or a hybrid, the signed and numbered prints we create from these images are the art. Our sole goal is producing the most beautiful print of a given image.
We believe that the value of a print — and its status as a work of art — should be based on the quality of the image, the quality of the materials, and the artists level of involvement in the print making process. We own our press so we do more than simply oversee the process — we work with the process to produce art.

The rarity of our editions, (10-300 copies), increases the value of your investment. Each image is prepared for print from our digital files. Since, in many cases, there is no physical original, these limited edition prints are the "original."
Regardless of size or substrates used each image has a fixed, limited edition. If you purchase an image with an edition of 100, you know that it is one of only 100 copies.
Please note - the Black House/Talisman, and Dark Tower Editions are exceptions. They are all printed on our finest rag paper and are strictly limited to 30 copies of each available print size.
Every print is signed and numbered, and availible in several sizes. Each print is a museum quality archival print, using pigment-based color, the only tradition in fine art permanence.
In addition, the flexibility of digital printmaking allows us to produce custom editions for specific applications. Please write us at artprints@braid.com if you have any special requests, or need to know the status on an image currently marked as Not Available (N/A).
Be sure to learn more about the Quality and Permanence of our limited edition prints.
Return to About Braid.
Here at Braid, a select group of professional artists and craftsman create and produce their own fine art prints. Our interest in getting the best is personal.
Our new Roland press is the print making solution we've been seeking for years. It offers terrific image fidelity, a fabulous choice of substrates ranging from canvas, cotten rags, acid-free watercolor strocks, even indestructible Tyvek and a variety of films for custom applications like murals and backlit installations. A fifty-two inch print width at 1440x720 ppi provides a stunning size/detail ratio...all done with a six-color pigment inkset.
Unlike the fugitive giclee art process that use dyes, our prints are truely archival because they are printed with pigments. Oil paintings, watercolors, pastels, lithographs, serigraphs, cave paintings, you name it, they all use pigment-based color—the only tradition in fine art permanence.
For more details about our printer and available substrates, please see our Technical Information page.
