Unlike a painting which is a one off work of art, a limited edition print is a defined quantity of impressions numbered sequentially and hand signed by the artist. An original limited edition is really a work of art in its own right. Each print is carefully printed by the artist or under the artist’s supervision using a number of highly skilled techniques – screenprinting, lithography, relief printing (eg a linocut or woodblock) or intaglio printing (etching or engraving). Once the edition is completed to the artists’s satisfaction, the screen / plate / stone is destroyed so no further copies can be made.

The artist’s design is transferred onto a mesh screen. One colour at a time is forced through the mesh with a blade or squeegee onto the paper underneath. The other areas of the screen are coated with an impermeable substance. Depending on the number of colours required, several screens are used to produce a multi-coloured design. The resulting print is known as a screenprint, serigraph or silkscreen.

The artist draws his image onto a flat stone or metal plate using crayon or oil based ink. Water is lightly applied and is repelled by the greasy material, and then an oil based ink is applied to the whole surface, only adhering to the areas marked with crayon or ink. An impression is then made onto paper. As with screenprinting, a new stone or plate is required for every colour, therefore by the time the final print is complete, it could have been through the press many times over.

An etching is created by using acid to burn into a copper plate to create a relief design (intaglio). Etchings are easily identified by the plate marks around the image.

These prints are both produced from relief printing techniques. The artist carves the image into the surface of a piece of lino or wood and then rolls ink over the top. The ink will only cover the ‘un-cut’ parts of the wood or lino. An impression is then made onto paper.

If you see the letters “a/p”, “e/a” or the words ‘artists proof’ on a print instead of a number, this is an artists proof copy. It is of equal quality to the limited edition run, and sometimes the artist proofs were retained by the artist who may then sell them at a later date. However it is also common for the a/p editions to be sold alongside the regular editions. In some instances you may see the words ‘archive copy’, ‘trial proof’, ‘hc’ (hors commerce) BAT (bon a tirer) which are all proofs of the limited edition print but retained as printers’ or publishers’ copies which may at some point enter the retail market
