Artograph Manuals & User Guides

Artografía has been a trusted name in the creative community since 1948, specializing in tools that help artists and designers bridge the gap between concept and canvas. Originally established in Minnesota, the brand is now part of the Estudio de deseños family, continuing its legacy of innovation in art visualization.

The company is best known for its diverse range of art projectors. This includes classic opaque projectors like the EZ Tracer e Prisma, which allow users to project physical sketches or photos onto larger surfaces for easy tracing. For the modern digital artist, Artograph offers the Flare e Inspirar series of digital projectors, capable of projecting high-resolution images directly from USB or HDMI sources.

Beyond projection, Artograph manufactures the widely acclaimed LightPad series. These slim, LED-lit light boxes provide a cool, bright surface perfect for tracing, stenciling, embossing, and scrapbooking.

• How do I adjust the image size on my Artograph opaque projector?

  For opaque projectors like the EZ Tracer or Prism, the size of the projected image is determined by the distance of the projector from the wall or canvas. Move the projector further back to enlarge the image and closer to reduce it.

• What kind of light bulb should I use in my Artograph Tracer?

  Older models often used incandescent bulbs, but newer recommendations suggest using a high-lumen LED bulb (e.g., 1600+ lumens) or a CFL to reduce heat and improve brightness. Always refer to the specific label on your device to ensure the wattage does not exceed the safety limit.

• How do I focus the projected image?

  To focus most Artograph projectors, rotate the lens barrel or the focus ring on the front of the unit until the image appears sharp on your projection surface. Some digital models may have a manual focus wheel near the lens.

• My projector turned off unexpectedly. What is the cause?

  Many Artograph projectors are equipped with a thermal safety switch. If the unit overheats (often due to blocked vents or leaving it on too long), it will shut off automatically. Unplug it and allow it to cool completely before restarting.
