Does the pantograph make artists less valuable?

Hi

Thanks for the post.

Am I to understand that he/she feels that the use of a pantograph will somehow devalue the work of artists?
The pantograph has been around for some time now, and I doubt that it has caused an artist's talent to become "useless".
A pantograph is not used by a majority of the artists out there. Those that do use it, do so for the purpose of creating a "reproduction".
Those that create unique artwork are, and will always be, appreciated.
The pantograph is just another tool available to those that want to make certain tasks take less time.

This instrument is a "little bit" interrupting for artists like me. It looks like our talent is becoming useless. People won't appreciate our hard work due to that we, artists, have no difference with others. They will just say, "that's to easy, I can also do that".
