What is the difference between a limited edition print and an open-ended print?
As the name implies, a limited edition print is limited to the number of prints available, and each print is hand signed and numbered by the artist. The edition size is always included in the numbering of limited edition prints. For example: 74/500 designates a print as number 74 out of an edition of 500. Due to the limited nature of these prints, they may have investment value. An open-ended print is an artsy name for a poster. There is an unlimited number of prints available in an open-ended edition, and it is not generally hand signed by the artist.
