Lithography is 200 years old technique, now the most common precursor method printing - offset. It has unlimited possibilities for artistic expression, according to the individual needs of an artist who uses it.
Its advantage is lower cost than the original, because it can print in an average of around 100-150 pieces. At the same time, thanks to its precise technology preserves the true author's manuscript and its characteristic structure, and exactly the color that the author himself personally chosen in collaboration with master printers.
