A proof may show a clearly incomplete image, often called a working proof or trial impression, but in modern practice is usually used to describe an impression of the finished work that is identical to the numbered copies. There can also be printer's proofs which are taken for the printer to see how the image is printing, or are final impressions the printer is allowed to keep; but normally the term "artist's proof" would cover both cases. Artist's proofs are not included in the count of a limited edition.Limited edition lithographs are signed and numbered with a graphite pencil to guarantee authenticity of the signature. Signatures signed in ink can be reproduced on an offset printing press, or with an ink stamp, while read more
