Glossary Of Art Terms [5]

F Fine art Any of the visual arts, including painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and some performance art. The term generally excludes other art forms such as poetry, literature, dance and music.
Fine Art Reproduction The process of photographing or scanning original artworks and digitally color matching them, and then printing copies with a high quality - usually giclée - printer on conservation-grade (archival) paper or canvas. We offer high quality fine art print reproductions of your favorite artwork.
Flatbed Printer A printer, generally wide-format, that can print directly onto rigid materials. Instead of passing a roll of substrate through, the flat material is placed on a bed or table equipped with rollers, which feed it beneath a sliding print head.
Flood In printing, this term refers to filling an entire page with ink, so that no blank paper or canvas remains. This is also known as "painting the sheet".
Foil imaging A relatively new style of printmaking that was first practised in the late 1980s, foil imaging involves using a heat press to apply roll-leaf, "hot stamped" foil to various surfaces to create iridescent, reflective images. Some artists combine traditional printmaking methods with foil imaging in their pieces.
