AMERICAN CLASSIC ART COLLECTION
TruChrome™ Limited Editions

The National Museum of American Illustration (NMAI) in collaboration with Harvest Productions and Quinn Publishing is pleased to announce the 2008 release of the American Imagist series of limited edition fine art prints exclusively using images from the Archives of the Illustration Museum(NMAI). Quinn Publishing, as publisher has joined together Harvest Productions, the world’s most noted high-technology printer with the NMAI to form a team dedicated to creating the finest grade art prints extant. After nearly two years of testing and prototyping, Quinn Publishing and its illustrious team has selected a digital manufacturing process and material components which far exceed global standards for the replication of art images. The outcome of this remarkable collaborative effort is a new level of fine art reproduction, known as a TruChrome™ fine art prints-a unique, trademarked process, heralded in the art world as the latest milestone since Glicleé, Iris, silk screening, lithography, and wood block prints.
 
For every TruChrome™ print, a ph neutral polyester and cotton blended fabric with patented cross-linked gelatin ink receptors upon which large-molecule pigmented, aqueous inks are applied. Both canvas and colored inks are custom fabricated in Harvest Production’s wholly-owned, related laboratories and manufacturing facilities. Afterwards, highly-trained technical artists hand apply specific embellishments for further detail, texture and accuracy, depending upon the art work itself. Lastly, the TruChrome™ prints are coated with a non-yellowing ultra-violet light blocker, specifically designed to not crack over time. Consequently, TruChrome™ longevity is estimated at over 150-200 years and it’s accuracy is indisputable, arguably the best replication of art works ever created world wide.
 
Each TruChrome™ fine art print is accompanied by an official Certificate of Authenticity bearing the imprimatur of the National Museum of American Illustration and Quinn Publishing with appropriate signatories denoting it’s number amongst the American Classic Art Collection Museum Series of prints offered exclusively by the NMAI Museum Shop.
 
These TruChrome™ fine art limited edition prints represent the highest quality standard available. The notion of the NMAI in releasing them is to create the most accurate and authentic reproductions of the original works ever made. No effort or cost has been spared in achieving this lofty aim. The incredibly high standard of quality and accuracy in their manufacture, combined with their exclusivity as the only such limited edition fine art prints authorized by the National Museum of American Illustration, make them truly unique and coveted by collectors worldwide.
