Ask any art advisor and they will tell you: the first rule of collecting is to buy the art that you love. But, when the art that you love happens to be by blue-chip artists whose work sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars, you're not always going to be able to afford a one-of-a-kind artwork. That doesn't mean you can't own a Lichtenstein, Rauschenberg, or Ruscha.

Editioned prints and multiples allow access to big-name artists (or up-and-coming ones!) without the big-name price tags. Reputable publishers and so-called Master Printers (highly skilled printers who only attain the title after years of apprenticeship) work very closely with artists to produce editions of the artists’ work. (To brush up on your printmaking terminology or learn the 101 on print methods, read our trusty guide here.)

Keep in mind, though, that fine art prints are quite different than printed reproductions (which aren't always produced in collaboration with the artist), and that their values (and appreciation potentials) are, in part, influenced by the reputation of the publisher who produced them. To ensure you're getting an authenticated, high-quality work, buy from a reputable publisher, through a trusted source. To make it easy, we've put together a short-list of seven renowned printing presses and publishers that work closely with their artists. Read up on what they're known for, and click on their linked names to see more available works!

Since its founding in 1962, Crown Point Press has been committed to keeping the medium of intaglio alive, working with blue-chip artists all over the world, from Anish Kapoor and Laura Owens to Ed Ruscha and Chris Burden. To make an intaglio print, an artist first draws on a copper plate using a sharp tool and/or materials like soap, sugar, tar, or wax. The image is then etched into the copper plate using acid. Finally, a printer pushes ink by hand into the plate and wipes the surface clean. The press forces the paper into the plate to make the print. A visible plate edge shows that the image is embossed into the paper. Archives of etchings from Crown Point Press, which is located across the street from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, are at the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

The only publisher on this list affiliated with an academic institution, Graphicstudio is at the University of South Florida campus in Tampa, where both students and faculty benefit from interacting with visiting artists—artists like Alex Katz, Chuck Close, Judy Chicago, and Kiki Smith. Techniques include traditional hand-printing processes such as relief, etching, photogravure, lithography, and technically advanced sculpture fabrication methods. Since its founding in 1968 as a non-profit art-making facility, Graphicstudio has received popular and critical acclaim for its innovative approach to collaboration and technical advancements in both printmaking and sculpture fabrication. Graphicstudio editions have been acquired by leading museums including the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Public Library, and the Whitney Museum of Art. The National Gallery of Art in D.C. and the USF Contemporary Art Museum maintain complete archives of Graphicstudio editions.

Established in Copenhagen in 1979, Niels Borch Jenson Editions works with both emerging and established artists to produce print media projects through close collaboration. With the goal of bringing the essential character of the artist’s work into their print projects, the artist and the master printer mutually challenge each other, and occasionally generate innovative or unorthodox approaches to the medium. Most editions are created using classic intaglio techniques using copper printing plates, but since 1990, photogravure has become an area of special expertise for the printshop, as it is one of the most popular techniques among the artists they work work with. Neils Borch Jenson Editions also produce woodcuts, offset lithographs, and monotypes.
