What is the difference between an original print and a fine art print or giclee reproduction?

  • This original print is a hand-pulled stone lithograph created by the artist

  • This is not a reproduction, giclee, or copy

  • Reproductions can be called “fine art prints” but these are copies of an original artwork

  • Original prints are not copies or reproductions: An original print like a lithograph, etching, or relief print is the artwork itself

  • Printmaking is the process in which original prints are created by transferring images from a matrix to another surface

  • Original prints have higher value than reproductions since they are created by hand, often use higher-quality materials, and have smaller “editions”
