Limited editions / Certificates of authenticity
Does anyone do prints as limited editions and if so do they provide a "Certificate of Authenticity" etc.
Any comments, suggestion, thought welcome.

Re: Limited editions / Certificates of authenticity
I do Bill, every limited edition picture comes with a cert of authenticity, run number, title and most important signed by the artist, the run number is like this 20/50, meaning picture 20 of a 50 maximum run, after which the image is no longer sold

Thanks Martin
I thought you did, and I was wondering about doing some of mine as SLE. I am also considering Hahnemuhle Certs of Authenticity and holograms as a possible way to go in future. Costly but possibly give enough apparent added value to make them worthwhile?

Re: Limited editions / Certificates of authenticity
I've used one too, Bill. See an example here. Although, I've mostly just signed and numbered the very bottom of the print on the white border.

I too sign on my colour prints but (I know you'll think this daft) I have not been able to find a way of signing my B&W, which I do on a low gloss paper (Fotospeed Platinum) It does not take pencil or oil based art crayon well. Permanent marker is too stark so I was wondering about signing verso and using CofA etc.

Re: Limited editions / Certificates of authenticity
Bill, I rarely print my images on gloss/semi gloss papers but when I do, I use Ilford Gold Silk Fibre or Harman FB AL. After a lot of research I found a special pen that works well on these papers and is smear proof. Can't remember the name, I'll get the name of it and email it to you.
