My thoughts and policies on editions

I’ve decided to model my print editions similar to how musicians often release their works, with a special edition release for those demanding of top notch quality and/or rarity of limited release, as well as more budget friendly releases for people who are art enthusiasts but not necessarily collectors.

Limited Editions

I understand when it comes to limited editions in particular, it is important to keep the release special. Therefore I will never re-release or extend a limited edition. I may however release the same image as both a limited and open edition. The limited edition will have some sort of difference to it which makes it special and fancy compared to the open edition. For example, I may make a special artistic border for the image and/or do embellishments. Limited Editions will also be signed and numbered.

Reproductions of paintings/drawings: these are always done as giclée prints (high quality inkjet). These prints are made using top notch production methods (printers made specifically for high end fine art reproductions) and materials (long lasting archival paper, lightfast fade resistant pigmented inks) are used and no expense is spared on making the ultimate print of a piece that will be as close to the original as it gets and will last for generations if stored or properly framed and cared for.

Screen/Block:
There may also be silk screen or lino block type prints that may come from time to time in limited editions. These would all be hand printed by me using top quality materials.

I’ve done limited edition posters in the past, but probably will keep poster style prints as open edition, not signed or numbered in the future.

Open Editions and Products

Open edition reproductions are less fancy (than limited edition) giclée prints. The ink and the printing method used are the same as in limited editions, but the paper will be standard/generic. While it still makes for a beautiful, fade resistant print, the paper doesn’t have a luxury paper feel that the limited editions have, and seems more like a card stock. If you don’t care about collectables and just want to simply enjoy a quality version an artwork, I’m sure you will be pleased with my open edition prints. Since they aren’t numbered or signed and the paper isn’t as fancy, they are much more affordable than the limited edition prints.

Products: There’s a variety of formats of prints and types of products I offer. Prints such as post cards are printed more in bulk and are much more affordable than giclée prints. The downside is that they aren’t printed on acid free paper, and the inks aren’t as lightfast (UV fade resistant) like with the giclée prints. They are much more inexpensive to produce though so they’re the most affordable print and still a good value.

Then I’ve got some print on demand merchandise. You can find some of what I offer at sortagotta.com and a few other things on my Etsy.
