A New Fine-Art Medium for the AI Era

Digitograph™ is the next evolution in fine-art publishing—created specifically to transform AI-generated artworks into authentic, collectible, museum-ready physical editions.

Developed by AIART Publishing™, Digitograph™ addresses the most critical challenges facing AI art today:
image theft, unauthorized printing, infinite reproduction, and lack of collector protection.

By merging artificial intelligence, archival printing, oil-based surface technology, and human craftsmanship, Digitograph™ establishes a new category in contemporary art:

Hybrid Fine Art™

This is not simply a new printing method.
It is a new artistic medium designed to secure the future of AI art for creators, collectors, galleries, and museums alike.

Why Digitograph™ Matters in the AI Art Revolution

Artificial intelligence has transformed how images are created—but the art world still requires structure, scarcity, authenticity, and permanence to recognize true fine art.

Purely digital AI artworks are:

• Infinitely reproducible
• Easily stolen online
• Vulnerable to unauthorized printing
• Difficult to authenticate or protect
• Risky investments for collectors

Digitograph™ solves these problems by locking AI creativity into a controlled, physical, hand-enhanced, limited-edition format—the same principles that defined the value of lithographs, serigraphs, etchings, and museum editions throughout art history.

What Is Digitograph™?

Digitograph™ is a proprietary fine-art process and trademarked medium developed by AIART Publishing™.

Each Digitograph™ artwork typically includes:

• Ultra-high-resolution archival pigment printing
• Museum-grade canvas or fine-art paper
• A proprietary oil-based surface sealing layer
• Hand-applied oil or acrylic embellishment by professional artists
• Strictly limited-edition numbering
• Artist and creator signatures
• Publisher embossing
• Certificate of Authenticity with QR-verified provenance

Every piece carries visible human presence, tactile depth, and physical permanence—qualities that digital images alone can never provide.

The Digitograph™ Process (Step-by-Step)

1. AI Artwork Submission
   The AI creator submits a high-resolution original composition.
2. Curation & Approval
   Works are reviewed for originality, artistic quality, and exhibition potential.
3. Archival Printing
   Approved images are printed using museum-grade pigment inks on premium substrates.
4. Oil-Based Surface Layer Application
   A proprietary oil-based coating is applied to seal, protect, and prepare the surface.
5. Hand Embellishment
   Traditional fine artists apply oils, acrylics, textures, glazing, and highlights—making every piece unique.
6. Edition Control
   Each artwork is produced in a strictly limited-edition size.
7. Signing & Authentication
   Signed by the AI creator, embossed by the publisher, and registered in archival records.
8. Gallery-Ready Presentation
   Shipped stretched or flat, with Certificate of Authenticity and provenance documentation.

This process transforms AI images into true collectible artworks, not mass-market prints.

Edition Classifications

To serve collectors at every level, Digitograph™ editions are offered in three categories:

Digitograph™ Studio Edition

Archival print with oil-based surface layer, signature, and publisher authentication.

Digitograph™ Master Edition

Enhanced mixed-media textures with greater hand-applied detail.

Digitograph™ Museum Edition

Ultra-limited, heavily hand-embellished works created for museums and serious collectors.

Each category follows clear edition rules, ensuring transparency and long-term value.

Protecting AI Creators from Theft and Unauthorized Printing

Digitograph™ directly addresses one of the greatest threats to AI artists today:
online image theft and illegal reproduction.

By shifting value away from downloadable images and toward controlled physical editions, Digitograph™:

• Limits what can be commercially collected
• Establishes a clear original edition hierarchy
• Makes unauthorized prints identifiable and worthless
• Protects the creator’s reputation and market value

AI creators retain full copyright ownership of their digital works, while Digitograph™ editions become the only authorized physical expressions recognized by galleries and collectors.

Protecting Collectors and Investors in AI Art

Collectors do not invest in files—they invest in objects, history, and provenance.

Digitograph™ protects buyers by providing:

• Scarcity through controlled edition sizes
• Physical permanence using archival materials
• Human craftsmanship through hand embellishment
• Authentication via certificates, signatures, and QR records
• Market credibility recognized by galleries and museums

This structure safeguards collector confidence and establishes AI art as a legitimate collectible asset class.

A Legacy Rooted in Fine-Art History

Digitograph™ is not an experiment—it is the result of decades of experience.

The process is developed by Tim Siahatgar, art consultant, architect, former gallery owner, fine-art publisher, and developer of the historic Repligraphy® / Repligraph® technology (1993)—created long before inkjet printing became common in fine art.

Repligraphy® helped define early standards for:

• Archival canvas reproduction
• Accurate color translation
• Hand-finished limited editions
• Long-term collectability

Hundreds of Repligraphy® editions produced for major American artists in the 1990s are now recognized collector works.

Digitograph™ is the next chapter in that lineage—built for the AI era.

Why Galleries and Museums Embrace Digitograph™

Galleries and museums require:

• Physical artworks
• Defined mediums
• Provenance and documentation
• Longevity and exhibition durability

Digitograph™ satisfies these institutional standards by offering a new, clearly defined fine-art medium with professional production protocols.

It allows AI art to be exhibited alongside traditional and contemporary works—without compromising curatorial integrity.
