Just a mention, your original black and white drawing question is different from a color print, even tho a color print might look different it might actually look nice even tho colors are not exactly matching, or lighting seems differnt. A pencil sketch is different, it seldom looks good when information is dropped or distorted, particularily when the shading is washed out or filled in. My lengthly comment was intended only for pencil sketch issues. Almost any scanner or good digital photo will produce an appealing image of a colored piece, tho it might not meet the artists expectations, the viewer wouldnt have that incite. A washed out or filled in pencil sketch just looks inferior to everyone. Plus there are many ways to adjust a color piece in photo programs, but no real way to recover shading textures etc.

Original Post: Getting realistic quality prints made from my original drawings
Does anyone out there know of a good place to get professional quality prints made of my original graphite drawings? The "mom and pop" places in my community do an okay job, but they lose a lot of the shading in the process. I have been to art shows and have seen other artists selling prints from their original works, and the prints look almost exactly the same as the original drawings!! So I know that there must be someplace making them. Can anyone out there offer some advice or direction to me? Thanks very much!!
