Limited Edition:
A limited edition is a series of identical prints, which are limited to a one-time printing of a certain number of pieces. The artist determines the size of the edition, and usually signs and numbers each individual piece.

Giclee Ltd. Edition Print:
From the French word meaning "spray of ink", a Giclee is a print created by using state of the art computer technology to reproduce images. By printing the image on media much like that used for the original--usually either canvas or high-quality paper--a piece of artwork stunningly similar to the original is created. Giclees have the highest apparent resolution available today -- as high as 1,800 dots per inch.

Carbon-Pigment Archival Print:
Fine art black and white inkjet prints. Carbon was the earliest substance used to produce long lasting photographic prints. The first Carbon Print process was developed by Adolphe L. Poitevin in France in 1856 in response to a monetary prize offered for the first person to devise a permanent photographic printing process
