What's the best way to get high-quality reproductions of my original artwork for selling prints?

You must get a professional scan of your art. Take your pieces to a professional scanning service—expect to pay around $250 per scan. This is critical because to make a great reproduction, you have to start with something great. The scan captures all the detail, color accuracy, and texture so the print looks just like the original. Never try to photograph your work with a phone camera or consumer equipment. The investment in professional scanning pays off because once you have that high-quality file, you can sell reproductions of that image infinitely into the future.
