Here is Don's relpy after i asked how the prints were made and were "artist proofs" ...
Hi Tom,
Thanks for letting me know you got the print ok. I have the ability to make prints using a high end inkjet printer from my home. Since I announced this feature, I am getting requests for prints from some images I had not expected I would ever produce, and many have been one time requests.I hate to disappoint a client so I am willing to fill a request.
Since I make the prints myself and sell them, the additional duties inherent with developing a signed limited numbered edition - having a constantly updated mailing list, keeping track of numbers within various editions, setting up a shopping cart system within my website, and other promotional and secretarial duties, are more effort than I can do without enlarging this aspect of my business drastically, which would reduce my actual creative painting time.
So, I decided for the few requests I am receiving for prints at this time, I will make up a print and once I get the color as close as I can to the original, print it out as an artist proof, ad a little drawing to make it a special item and hold onto the digital file for the time when I find it suitable to make that image into an official numbered edition.
"Artist proofs" traditionally are a small print run within a larger print run which he artist approves. It used to be the artist would work with a printer at a press to get the color right , when it was to the artist' s satisfaction, the printer would finish the edition using the prints the artist approved as his color guide. With lithography, and large printing press operations, the artist's proofs were an acknowledgement to this practice, but were actually just a percentage of the press run that were set aside and numbered as artist's proof even thought these were not necessarily the prints the artist approved.
Since I am printing these myself, I am personally proofing what comes of the inkjet and making color adjustments - so the initial prints I am doing are artist proofs, I just do not know how many will be in the actual print run - if indeed I ever do make a print run in the future. Which is why I did not number the artist proof. Welcome to the ever changing computer based print business!
