What is the difference between a fine art print and a reproduction?
A fine art print is a "multiple original" made by hand, one impression at a time, from a plate (usually copper or zinc) etched by the artist.
Production methods that do not involve the artist, inevitably degrade the value of the print. Despite good quality printers and up-to-date technology used to produce giclees or iris prints, the result will never be as good. Moreover, there is no physical basis for any limit in the number of possible impressions (usually printed by the thousands), though edition size may be artificially limited to support a price desired by the publisher.
With original fine art prints, the tactile quality of the ink on paper and the printing style, are inseparable parts of the artwork

In other words, you can buy the original lithograph..or a print of it.
Of course, you\'ll probably get answers with art or artistic. It would not be germane in this context, IMO.

Notes from our Publisher
A Limited Edition Signed and **Numbered Print*** is a published reproduction of an original painting. These reproductions are published on the most modern printing press using specially manufactured expensive “archival” paper expressly for the purpose of producing excellent color reproductions. In order for the paper to be considered “archival” it must be 100 percent “rag content” fiber as well as have neutral pH balance. This expensive paper is similar to money only you don’t see the fibers. Newsprint is at the opposite end of the table. If you put a newspaper in the sun it will turn yellow in a matter of days. This change in color is caused by the acid in newsprint; a form of corrosion similar to how cheap iron changes from metal to rust. The purpose of producing fine art prints on archival paper is so that the reproduction will stand the test of time.
To produce a limited edition signed and **numbered print** the artist, publisher, or designated owner of the actual original painting from which the derivatives are produced has chosen to make a “Limited” number of these fine art paper print reproductions because they are much more valuable than either an “open edition” or common poster. This limitation is deliberately chosen to be a certain number of “Editions.”
Upon completion of the print publication the artist who created the original painting from which these reproductions are published has personally “Signed” each individual print. The artist’s signature indicates that that the original artist has approved and signed each individual print for quality and guarantees the standards to which the artist demands. Not only has the artist individually inspected and approved each specific reproduction, but also the artist is representing that the published paper print is as a faithful, good, and quality of a reproduction as the artist can achieve from the original work of art that the artist created.
The greater the artist’s qualifications the greater the value of the artists original paintings as well as the highest quality published reproductions. Therefore, the mass produced lithographic print reproductions have been not only limited to a specific and pre-designated number of prints, but also have been “Numbered” by the artist in a predetermined numeric sequence.
If the lithographs are limited to 405 printed reproductions there will be 405 closely matched individual “impressions” of the original painting numbered from 001 to 405. The last print in the edition is numbered 405/405. The word “Print” is used to indicate that the published edition is a reproduced copy and not an original work of art. The term “lithographic – or lithograph” became popular because the first prints were graphic mass produced copies. This term has been used for many centuries and evolved into what is commonly known in the printing press industry as a “litho.”

A numbered print is not necessarily limited according to the above....limited means they will never, ever make prints of it again in this way. The text does not say that. It does say, fine art print numbered x to y...
So, I apologize for that.
