digital prints

Fingerless modern photos

Digital prints are images produced by printing digital files onto paper, canvas, or other surfaces using inkjet or similar technology.

The term distinguishes these from traditional printmaking methods like lithography or etching, and from photographic prints made in a darkroom.

In art markets, digital prints are sometimes called giclées when produced on archival materials: The gallery sells limited-edition digital prints of her photographs.
