Original Prints
An original print is a work conceived by the artist for the print medium alone. It is an original multiple made by a process in which there maybe one or many originals. It is distinguished from a reproduction or facsimile for instance, by the artist's direct involvement in the making, i.e. in the exploitation and manipulation of one or more of the printmaking processes resulting in either a series, an edition of prints or a unique work. A reproductive print is a copy of an existing image (print, painting etc.) using photomechanical means and is therefore not original.
