What's the difference between A.P. and Regular Limited Edition?
The most common question which I am asked is what is the difference between an A.P. and the regular limited edition? Basically just the number written down in the lower left hand corner of the print. A.P. stands for artist proof and is a tradition that dates back to the early printing presses when the first prints off the press were considered to be more desirable because the inks were truer. Today with our technology the last print is of the same quality as the first however the tradition of numbering APs is still done. This is a small edition , usually no more than 10% of the limited edition. So if there were 750 prints, then there would be 75 APs and numbered such as...AP 1/75. Because the edition is smaller they are considered to be more valuable and really only make a difference when the print is sold out and on the secondary market. Serious print collectors usually like to collect artist proofs. I tell my customers though to just buy an image because you like it, not because of a potential investment value. I hope that I haven't confused you too much! All of my prints are printed on some of the best acid free papers on the market using the highest grade of fade resistant inks available to produce a fine art print of an upscale quality that both you and I will be happy with.
