Limited edition has become a term that has many questions attached for the buyer, and for most artists. My definition of 'limited edition' is as follows:

Limited Edition reproductions or art prints are printed in a variety of ways. The prints that are offered here are reproduced by photo mechanical lithography and laser printers. The 'limited' term is established when the publisher/artist decides how many images are going to be in the 'edition'....that may be 25, 500, 750....or more.

Some individuals make that decision based on what they think the market will bear. (How many pieces of paper or canvas can be sold with that image on it? How much money can I make if I print 250 more images?) That magic number is decided prior to 'press time' and the artist signs and numbers each of the pieces individually. This leads us to the term: "Signed and numbered limited edition."

In my opinion, for integrity's sake, there should never be another printing of the same image. I don't print the image as note cards, or again as a larger/smaller image, nor do I allow licensing of the image for other products.

Art prints can be an affordable means of obtaining art work for the average person. Open editions are usually cheaper to the customer than limited editions? Why? Supply and demand. Fewer images on the market...more valuable

 They may, or may not be more economical to print for the artist/publisher, but that leads us to a whole other subject.

That's the theory. Sometimes it holds true. Sometimes it doesn't.

Artists do a lot of gambling with the marketing of their work. Perhaps that's why you see so few of them at the tables in Vegas!

Monitor settings may make a difference in the colors and values you see.  I've adjusted these photos to look as close to the originals as possible, but I cannot see what is on your monitor.  There is more information on my FAQ page about monitor settings.
