We, at Liscot Enterprises, feel it is our job as art publishers to clarify the differences between two important limited edition mediums: the serigraph and the off-set lithograph. Our main objective is to create fine quality graphics at affordable prices. To ensure the fine quality of our graphics we make frequent visits to our printer, together with our artists. The savings we obtain from superior quality is passed on to our clients to make both the off-set lithographs and serigraphs affordable.
The off-set lithograph is a photographic process where the colors are separated mechanically. Our off-set lithographs have exceptional quality because the edition is printed on a 2-color press, rather than a 4-color press. The difference between these two printing processes is the 2-color press lays the colors on twice. In the 4-color process they are laid on all at once. The uncoated paper used to print our off-set lithographs together with the 2-color press, provides more depth and more vivid colors to the off-set lithograph.
Since Liscot Enterprises is concerned with the quality of our product, the best paper available is used: off-set lithographs are printed on Limoge 100% certified archival paper. By emphasizing quality and affordability throughout the printing of each limited edition print we provide our clients with a beautiful work of art at an affordable price. A Certificate of Authenticity is included with each image.
