From “fine art” prints and limited edition multiples to xeroxed flyers and cheap inkjet printouts, we take a broad view of printmaking; all manner of printed matter has a place at Printeresting. Authored by multiple contributors, the site features regular posts on a range of print-related content, including artwork, news, reviews, technology, and critical discourse. While our primary goal is to highlight innovative print work, the site is also a place to keep abreast of developments in the field, and to take note when printmaking intrudes into popular culture.Printeresting’s growing collection of posts form the web’s most comprehensive, searchable database of contemporary print.
Printeresting is for artists, designers, printers, curators, collectors, teachers, students, and the generally curious. As such, we welcome your comments and suggestions.
Take a look!
