Printed picture copy
Image reproduction is the process of copying or recreating a visual image through mechanical, chemical, or digital means.
The term covers everything from photocopying and printing to scanning and digital duplication: The museum's image reproduction department creates high-quality prints for the gift shop.
In copyright contexts, image reproduction often triggers legal considerations about permissions and licensing.
