A limited edition is a series of similar or identical looking prints, sculptures, or other fine art reproductions normally hand signed and numbered by artists. Limited editions have an assigned number of prints that will be produced on the average, ranging from 50 to 500 prints. This quantity limitation makes each print unique and valuable, therefore, highly collectable.

An open edition is a series of similar or identical looking prints, sculptures, or other fine art reproductions that do not have assigned numbers but could still be hand signed by artists.

Giclée printers use archival inks which make the archival properties of giclées much higher than lithography or silkscreen prints. Special inks we use in our printers have a light fastness rating up to 200 years. In most cases, Giclees are going to last longer then oil, acrylic, and other medium originals. Visually, giclees are also sometimes better then originals.

Yes. They are coated and protected. UV protective coating/varnishes add more durability. Watercolor paper prints are more resistant to smudging and water damage then a watercolor painting. Framing behind glass is still highly recommended.

Under normal lighting conditions, our inks will not show noticeable fading for at least 200 years. Although, it is not recommended by ink and media manufacturers that prints be exposed to direct sunlight, especially for long periods of time. If you handle your giclee just as you would with an original - with care and caution - than it will last even longer than the original.

It may, only if you are lucky! The way a picture appears on your screen depends on your screen settings like contrast, brightness, color profile, etc. The same picture may appear different on different screens. The same picture printed on different media or on a different printer will appear different as well. What you can count on is that the print will look beautiful and very close to the original artwork.
