Notes

Hors De Commerce prints, or HC's as they are called in the industry, are very similar to Artist Proofs except they are only available through the artist directly. They are valued as Artist Proofs, or higher, since they are even more rare. The artist receives these as a gift for allowing the publisher to print his/her images.

Working Proof was a portfolio to commemorate the 3rd Impact International Printmaking Conference held at the Michaelis School of Fine Art in August 2003.
