Art Definitions
|
Open-Edition
|
A reproduction of an original
work of art that is sometimes signed by the artist. The number of prints
published is not predetermined.
|
|
Limited-Edition
|
A reproduction of an original
work of art that is signed and sequentially numbered by the artist.
The total number of prints is fixed or limited by the artist or the
publisher.
|
|
Artist's Proof
|
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 "A/P" 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.
|
|
Signed and Numbered
|
Limited-edition prints that
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.

Giclee
|
Giclees, or iris prints
as they are sometimes called, offer one of the highest degrees
of accuracy and richness of color available in any reproduction
technique. Giclee prints are created typically using professional
7-Color to 12-Color ink-jet printers, thereby producing a far wider range
and depth of color than conventional CMYK printing.
Giclee advanced hybrid inks combine the benefits of both Pigment
and Dye based inks providing a vibrant, long lasting color. These ‘archive quality’
inks have been independently tested to resist any visible fading for over 100 years!
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.
Giclee canvas's are coated with a protective finish to further assure their longevity.

Canvas Transfer
|
Canvas Transfer is a process where
the printed image from a paper art print is removed and then transferred onto a prepared canvas, giving a look and
luster like an original print.
|
|
Matted Mini
|
A giftcard, postcard, or small art print, usually between 4x6 and 11x14, that is double matted
with backing and ready to frame. The finished matted size is determined by ready made frame sizes
such as 8x10, 11x14, 12x16, or 16x20.
