printing for editions

2002-11-19 by frankg_photo

I'm curious about the numbering of prints in an edition - in a 
scenario as proposed by mark it's a straightforward matter - you only 
print x number of prints in a given session and that is that - for 
ever. You have # 1/15 to 15/15 (if 15 was your chosen edition 
amount/number).

If you later print more than one edition of the same image or perhaps 
decide to change the image size, what is the common practice - do 
printers continue the numbering sequentially, or do they have more 
than one '3/15' for example ?

I think the point Mark makes is one we should all take seriously if 
we ever hope to sell digital prints through galleries or even 
directly to interested people, at a decent price. We do need to 
change the misconception that it's simply a matter of hitting Ctrl-P 
and art pops out !

Arriving at consensus on how best to achieve the goal is probably 
only an ideal, but we could all stand to gain from a fairly unified 
practice. keep the discussion alive.
