Let's say a fine art photographer produces a series like a triptych, where one could either purchase the

entire 3 part series or buy just one image. He has made the series a numbered edition, where the first

edition is of 10, the second is also, third and so on. Once the series has gone into the next edition the

price raises. (For example for 1 print from the 1st edition - $200, for the same print from the second

edition - $250)

My question is, the artist may not always sell the entire 3 part series at once, but may sell more of one

image than another. And since the images will now vary, with some in the 2nd edition and others still in

the first edition. How should he then price the entire series and should the price of all the individual

prints in all editions match the latest one.

I hope this question is clear and not too confusing. Thank you for any thoughts on this matter.

My question is not so much about quality in the sense of how the resolution looks, since the

image I am printing is composed of 100 small pictures pieced together in a single grid, each

picture shot with a Canon EOS 5D. So the print should maintain its quality even when you

look at the image from just inches away.

My real question is really about making museum quality prints, as in archival and can hold

up to museum standards. How big can I go? What are my options as far as printing types?

And what's the cost? Thanks for any advice you can give...

I am wanting to make large scale, archival, museum quality art prints of my digital photographs. My

thoughts are to make prints ranging from 3 feet square to 9 feet square. What is the largest size I can do

and still maintain the quality desired? What are the pros and cons of the various printing methods such

as digital c-print (if can do 9 feet square), ink jet, light jet and so on? And finally what sort of costs can I

expect for the printing?
