When you said 'making posters' of expired limited editions, what would be defined as a legitimate poster and not as an extra print undermining the legitimacy of your previous limited editions?

I thought of doing A3 prints on Photo Rag (or similar) with a watermark at the bottom, so that it is visibly different from my limited editions - would that be legitimate? For poster purposes, I wonder if sprayed Heavyweight Matte would be ok?

thanks,
Richard
