| I was curious how many of you who sell prints do any numbering of the prints - 1/250 for example. Does it really make any difference to limit the number sold of a particular print? |

I figure it only matters if you expect to be huge some day. But I also think that in the age of digital printing, its kind of pointless. If you were shooting film, or doing giclee prints or something like that, then its worth a shot, as those, to me, are special and therefore more collectible. But overall, yeah doesn't really matter.
Numbering digital prints to me is like numbering CDs. |

Supply and Demand.
If you limit the supply (and advertise that)then in theory the demand is more, the product more valuable.
this is for fine art type print sales. It has no value for portraiture or weddings or commercial

Yeah, I guess, but my view of it is this...if I limit a print to 25 prints...sell all 25. Than somebody comes along and says oh Id really love to purchase a print of that, Ill pay you handsomely...damn straight im printing up a 26th print.
But maybe I can just do what they do with vinyl, a "2nd pressing" of sorts.

If you do that, then you are in breach of contract with regard to the original 25 purchasers, and your integrity will forever be in question. |
