Question
Hello John and/or Chris,
My name is Russ. I have a favorite professional photographer who sells prints of his work at galleries and auctions, however they are extremely expensive ($3000 and up range) He doesn't sell cheaper prints unfortunately. I have a few of his books which showcase his work and was wondering if there's any way to produce a high quality print from one of the pages. I'd appreciate any info
regards,
russ
Answer
Russ,
I'm sorry, what you ask is not legal. Even if it wasn't, you really can't get a high quality print by making a copy from a book. The off-set printing they use in books does not copy well. For the record, the fine for making a copy like that is $50,000 and falls under U.S. Code, Title 17 of US copyright law.
Here is a link to the code:
