Limited edition prints

A print edition is a set of multiple copies of the same image. There are two types of editions - limited and open. In a limited edition, a fixed number of copies is produced with the understanding that no further copies will be produced later. Limited print editions are traditionally signed, numbered, and titled by the artist. The number indicates the unique impression and the total edition size (for instance “3/50” would be the third print in an edition of fifty).

An open edition has no pre-determined quantity, and is not necessarily numbered. For more information, read Discussion of Limited Editions for the Fine Art Photographer by Brooks Jensen.

Do I have to print my entire edition at once?

We keep all client files on hard-drives and backed up on CDs and DVDs. Just send us an email and we will send back a quotation for your print order.

Most artists request prints as they need them. This allows them to ascertain the salability of a print and to keep minimal inventory.
