Abstract Since the 1990s digital printing has become ubiquitous on the contemporary art scene. Artists from diverse disciplines employ different technologies, materials and techniques to create their artworks. The use of a wide range of materials affects their correct identification in museum and institutional collections such that a precise registration process using accurate terminology to clearly record concise information about each work is essential. To achieve this, gaining access to the information that printing laboratories and artists gather is an important issue. In this article information collected in a survey conducted with printing studios and artists across Spain and the UK is presented. Some interesting concerns were gathered including on materiality, artists’ beliefs about the deterioration of their work, and reproduction as a conservation strategy and its influence on market value, all of which help to understand more fully the conservation needs for this type of artwork.
