For Art: these prints would be made the print shop to use for adjustments in colour, positioning, etc. A number of these or all of them may be discarded, a small limited number (2 or 3) that meet the artists standards might be pulled aside and marked PP and each one would be unique on it's own. Once the colour, press or screen positioning etc. have been adjusted the next step would be the AP (Artist Proof) further adjustments to the image might then be made by the artist before or in lieu of a final numbered edition.

Speaker as an ex-printmaker and lithograph/intaglio printer from many years ago... a printer's proof is the first one that comes off the press that meets the artist's approval for saturation, tonality, density, evenness of printing, etc.

This is held as the printer's proof by the printer (who is customarily not the artist) and is used as a benchmark for printing the edition. All prints must meet the level of quality of the printer's proof. Those that don't are scrapped, and printing continues until the edition is filled... plus a few extra for artist's proofs, personal gifts, etc.

The printer gets to keep the printer's proof, and the artist usually signs it. I got a bunch of them.

In France, the printer's proofs were marked "bon a tirer", which basically means "good to pull".

When I was going to school in Italy, us American students took a fancy to inscribing our printer's proofs with "prova di stampa", which was the customary designation for printer's proofs (if you were Italian).

Buy it because you like it not to make money on it because you will probably won't. Own about 100 all signed by the artist, lower the production number the better. Paid an average of $10 per print and they list between $300- $1200 each.

Prints are made as copies of an artist work of art. They are made in a printing shop, before the artist supervision. The first copies of a work of art print series may be distroyed as the colours and lines are not yet acceptable by the artist. Once the print is approaching the level of perfection that the artist wants, the copies may be marked as P/A or A/P , with pencil at the bottom left corner of the paper. These may be more than three, and less than seven. After the copies come out perfect from the printing device or process, they are marked with pencil at the same left bottom corner as 1/100, 2/100 and so forth. A/P's are generaly kept by the artist and give as gifts to friends. They arr generally never sold by the artist but may be re-sold by the owner after. They are close to perfect, but not perfect.
