You have a mandate as an artist to ensure these aspects or else you will be wasting your resources over nothing special. The following are considerations on how to make limited edition fine art prints to think through.

Acknowledge your natural drawing style. It is recommendable to identify your natural drawing style and stick to it. Such consideration will help in making a coherent of designs that have a particular aspect that defines you. You can start with a few thumbnails as you develop your first new set.

Choose your printing methods. You have different approaches to consider when printing a fine art. These methods include Giclee printing, digital printing, Lino printing, and silk screening. The most popular techniques in the limited edition are the screen printing and Giclee printing. The silkscreen printing use various layers of stencils to make multiple colored images.

Choose your size carefully. You must be careful with the size that you decide on to avoid ruining your reputation later on.

Indicate the prints with a serial number label to make them easy to print.

Be careful with your market base. Your market base should be your main agenda when making your decision. One should avoid making a lot of print set as a means of attracting your clients.
