Editions
An Edition in Artwork Archive refers to a set of original artworks designed for graphic reproduction, created by or under the artist's supervision, typically produced as mu
Examples of editions: etchings, lithographs, fine art photography prints, bronze castings, etc.

Reproductions
A Reproduction in Artwork Archive is considered a copy or facsimile of the original work, usually created using photomechanical means. The production of a reproduction usually does not involve the original artist. Generally, a digital image is created of the work, which can then be used to reproduce the piece on various surfaces and in different sizes.
Examples of reproductions: giclee prints, iris, posters, print as a service item such as pillows & garments, cards, etc.
Note:
Editions count against your piece count in your plan. Reproductions do not. However, Reproductions have limitations—you can not include them in Reports, Certificates of Authenticity, or build Location and Exhibition history.
