The printing process is of the highest quality and is almost comparable to the original. Today there are only 3 printers in the whole world that use this. The color image is split - from light to dark - into up to 25 colors and then printed on top of each other in as many print cycles. This technique was mainly used in small editions.

Egon Schiele (12 de junho de 1890 – 31 de outubro de 1918) foi um pintor austríaco. Schiele foi protegido de Gustav Klimt e um importante pintor figurativo do início do século XX. Seu trabalho é conhecido por sua intensidade e sexualidade crua e pelos inúmeros autorretratos que o artista fez. As formas corporais torcidas e a linha expressiva que caracterizam as obras de Schiele marcam o artista como um expoente inicial do expressionismo.
