All Successful Artists Use Limited Edition Prints; Here is Why
As an artist, you cannot ignore the importance of limited edition prints to your craft. They might not be as unique as your one-of-a-kind pieces, but they can be just as important and valuable.
With limited edition prints, you limit the number of people who can have copies of the artwork at any given time. These art pieces retain their values over time.
If your limited edition prints are done properly, it also improves sales. Collectors are always looking out for limited edition prints to buy. And because these prints are limited, you can still sell them in a relatively high price like you would sell your one of a kind art piece. This makes limited edition prints a good way to increase revenue. Every profitable artist will tell you that limited edition prints were a major part of their success story.
