The digital printing of art reproductions and original digital art has blossomed into a major application for water based ink jet printing. Canvas, art paper, textiles, photo paper and specialized art media have evolved over the last decade along with printers and ink technology. I will review some of these developments and the current state of the science of ink jet art reproduction and digital art. With the development of higher resolution printers for UV curable ink jet printers and dedicated textile printers a new set of tools are becoming available to the artist and publisher. The impact of these developments and their potential to continue the rapid growth in this field will be discussed in this paper.
