Printing Explanation
Signed and numbered Limited-edition prints have been signed and sequentially numbered by the artist. The artist's signature is usually found in one of the lower corners of the print and is accompanied by a number that looks like a fraction; the top number indicates the number of the print and the bottom number indicates the total number of prints in the edition.**********
Artist's Proofs: In offset reproductions, artist's proofs are additional prints not included in, but of the same quality as, the regular edition. In original prints, artist's proofs are the first prints pulled, which are the truest prints in the edition because the plates and screens have not yet been worn down. Artist's proofs are distinguished by the abbreviation "AP" and are numbered separately. **********
Edition Size: The total number of prints printed, or pulled, of one particular image. Separate edition sizes are recorded for the signed and numbered prints, artist's proofs and printer's proofs.**********
Giclees: Giclees, can offer one of the highest degrees of accuracy and richness of color available in any reproduction technique, Giclees are printed by using inks, acrylics, or oil paints in a highly technical process that prints images onto watercolor papers and canvas surfaces that are acid free and archival. A result of the marriage of art and modern technology, a giclee faithfully reflects the vibrant color, rich detail and lush texture of the original. Giclees are produced one at a time and can vary greatly depending on the printer. These prints should be treated as carefully as an original watercolor because the printed image can run if it comes in contact with any moisture. **********
Iris Prints: Iris prints are considered the highest quality of Giclee printing. Often they are printed on 100% rag content paper using vegetable dyes or archival inks to insure longevity. Again, these prints should be treated as carefully as an original watercolor because the printed image will run if it comes in contact with any moisture. **********
Offset Lithograph: A photomechanical reproduction created by the separation of colors in the original and then the recombining of those colors on a printing press. Offset lithography is very well adapted to color printing and gives a sharp, clean image very close to the original painting.**********
Open-Edition Print: A reproduction of an original work of art that is occasionally signed by the artist. The number of prints published is not predetermined. **********
