"Strict Editions" aka Bullshit-Free Numbering

A Strict Edition is a term I've come up with, to simplify things. It's the exact quantity produced of an edition. This means there are no A/P's (artist proofs) or P/P's (printer's proofs), bon a tirer (because I'm the printer), etc. I'm well aware of the Tamarind guide but unfortunately, most artists are not. This has lead to inept numbering and misleading information regarding editions. For example, when I label a print as having a strict edition of 50, that means there are 50 prints from the run that I have deemed acceptable. Any test prints, misprints, etc, are destroyed.
