Re: [Digital BW] Number of prints

2002-04-02 by Julian Thomas

There are no hard and fast rules. Most folk limit a print for that size
only. The only point of limiting is to please collectors. I limit to
editions of 15 - in the stated size only. I also sell unlimited versions of
the same print in A4 size only. Galleries don't seem to mind, nor do
collectors. If you are new at the game - like me - small editions carry a
bit more weight. When I have a bit more of a rep. than I have now, I won't
limit.
