not quite, the printer makes a proof which is then looked at by the artist to see if there are any problems
If all good the print gets the go ahead. Traditionaly the artists proofs were his cut of the profits, the 'normal' run covers the managements costs...im sure I read that before although I could be making it up

WTF is a printers proof?, by Heavyconsumer on Apr 28, 2009 1:49:43 GMT 1, I was under the impression that they're test runs, printed to assist in the final decision making on colours etc. PPs generally never make it to market, where as an allocation (usually of 10%) is printed off as APs, supplimentary to the run. It seems that these days artists can give away/sell their APs to whom they want. Of course there are also cases where galleries use the popularity of APs to cash in and sell them at a higher price, not to mention printing off loads more than one might have expected until recently.
Beejoir's Turin Scam and LVChild are wonderful examples of what PPs can look like imo, each one in a unique colourway, some nicer than others.

WTF is a printers proof?, by amsterdam9697 on Apr 28, 2009 3:57:56 GMT 1, I have a couple of PP's of some of Brad Klausen's work that came from D&L Screenprinting. In their case, I believe they were allowed to hold back a certain number of prints and sell them themselves. In one case, the PP is the only signed ed. of that print

Traditionaly the artists proofs were his cut of the profits, the 'normal' run covers the managements costs...im sure I read that before although I could be making it up I'd say thats about right cash. There were about 4 printers proofs for the perfect merge screen print until we got it right. Different positioning on the 1st 2 and different strengths of ink on the 2nd pair. We kept 2 and the printers kept 2. The artists proofs are the same and a run of 10% of the edition and numbered also so everyone knows whats out there in total.
I got set no. 11....does that mean I got the lowest possible number for us guys?
