Well there are art reproductions and original prints.

Art Reproduction prints are created by scanning or photographing the original and digitally printing it onto paper or canvas. Sometimes these are signed and sometimes they are ‘hand finished’ with gilding or some other applied surface adornment.

Original prints and artworks created using printmaking (not involving a computer). This could be monotype, screen print, lithograph, Lino print (my specialism) or another traditional printmaking form. It involves inks being applied to one surface (the inking plate or block for example) and then transferred to the paper, fabric or other chosen final surface. These prints are usually editioned, meaning that they are numbered. This is usually in the bottom left corner of a print before the name and signature and looks like a fraction.
