<p>[QUOTE=&quot;reader, post: 2406546, member: 255&quot;]I haven’t read that pin (but will) but in a nutshell all the above reproductive processes are all “prints”. A litho is done off a stone or plate with a resist so that ink only goes where wanted. When a litho is done on a stone, you can see the textural differences.</p><p><br /></p><p>A giclee is done on an inkjet printer but they are frequently topped with an acrylic gel that’s applied with a brush. When done on canvas they can be foolers to a novice collector as they can look like paintings.</p><p><br /></p><p>A silkscreen (which is no longer done with silk so they’re called screen prints or serigraphs) is done with each color of ink being pushed through a separate screen, again with a resist to allow the ink to be placed where wanted. When a screen print is “off register” you can see an overlap of color as each color is put down with a separate screen so that’s a sure tell right away. Andy Warhol’s Marilyn prints are a great example of off register screen printing. Check out the cross over color areas.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are a few differences that may help you but respectfully, if you don’t know the differences between the processes you shouldn’t try and make a call and best to ask here or ask others. I frequently go to others for help when I’m not sure and I definitely have some knowledge as both a minor print collector and an active art docent with an art history degree although admittedly, print making was pretty much ignored when I was in school during the Dark Ages.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
