What is Editioning?

Editioning is the process of producing a defined number of copies of the final print. When developing a print a series of 'artists proofs' are made to determine how the final print should look. Proofs must be kept to carefully match each print from and notes on how the colours were mixed are essential.

Finished prints are signed by the artist in pencil to signify they are approved. This is usually done on the lower right hand corner under the image. All prints are given a unique number eg 1/20 is the 1st print from a limited edition of 20. Once the limited edition has been printed it is usual to cancel the plate/screen etc in some way by defacing them.
