Although JLI is the publisher of the fine art in our catalogue, the pricing and type of editions is at the discretion of the artist. Many Greeting Cards release Open or Unlimited Editions while other Greeting Cards prefer to release some or all of their art as Limited Editions. Of course, in the end it is really only about the art you want in your home, so you should be aware of the following:
There is no quality difference between an Open Edition print and a Limited Edition print
Limited Editions are hand signed and numbered by the artist
On Open Editions the original signature is printed on the painting
Limited Editions are often on thicker paper than Open Editions
Limited Editions include a Certificate of Authenticity
There is usually a somewhat higher pricing scale for Limited Editions
Shipment of Limited Edition prints can be delayed by the availability of the artist
