Limited Edition Prints

Guidelines for Listing Limited Edition Prints on Artcarme

To list a work as a limited edition print on Artcarme, you must clearly specify the total number of prints in the edition within the listing description. For example, state “Only 75 prints will be produced.” Open edition prints or those with a total edition of over 150 are not allowed. Buyers tend to prefer limited edition prints, valuing their rarity.

Key Information for Limited Edition Prints

1. Edition Size:
   Be sure to specify how many prints are in the edition. For instance, “This print is part of an edition of 75.”
   Enter the number of prints still available for sale in the “Qty Available” field. You should update this number as prints are sold, whether through Artcarme or other platforms.

2. Certificate of Authenticity:
   Every print must be signed by you and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity that includes the print number. For example, “Print 16/75.”
   Update the ‘Qty Available’ field by reducing it by one each time you sell a print. This helps keep track of the edition and provides a real-time countdown for potential buyers.

3. Availability Tracking:
   We will continue to sell your prints until the edition is sold out. It’s crucial that you keep the ‘Qty Available’ up to date and set it to “0” when the edition is complete to prevent additional purchases.

4. Dimensions:
   You may list the dimensions in parts of inches, such as the thickness of a print on paper, for example, “0.2 inches thick.”

What to Specify in the Description
Make sure to clearly explain what applies to your print. Choose from the following categories:

• Photographic Print of an Existing Artwork:
  If the print is a reproduction of an original artwork (e.g., a painting) on a different material such as canvas, describe it as a photographic version.

• Original Print Artwork:
  If the print is created through a traditional process such as a lino cut or etching, list it as an original print.

• Digital Artwork:
  If the artwork is created using computer software and exists solely in digital format, specify that it’s a digital artwork.

• Digitally Manipulated Photography:
  If your print involves digital manipulation of a photograph you’ve taken, clearly state it remains a photograph and should be listed as such.
  Important: Prints that manipulate photographs taken by other people are not allowed, even if you have their permission to use the image. You cannot claim copyright over such works.

Materials Used for Prints
All prints must be made on high-quality materials, such as fine art paper, photographic paper, or canvas. The material you choose must be clearly stated in the description.
