01 TPG Exhibiting Print Quality Requirements
When examining your print to be presented for a TPG exhibition, ask yourself:
PAPER
- Are the edges neatly torn?
- Are the borders clean? [e.g., no ink marks, no fingerprints etc]
- Is there any paper damage? A NO-NO! [e.g., bent corners etc]
- Does the image have good ink coverage? [e.g., not patchy]
- Is the print well-registered?
EDITION, DOCUMENTATION, SIGNATURE:
- Is the print part of an edition or a monotype?
- If it is an edition: remember you should have a BAT print – a final State Proof that you want the whole edition to look like. If each print in the edition does not look like your BAT print … woops, you will need to do some reprinting until the whole edition is near-identical!!
- Does the correct edition number appear on the print?
- Are the prints correctly documented? [e.g., a do you have a document with the edition number, how many A/Ps etc]
- Is the print signed and dated?
- If you have a studio chop mark, have you chopped your print?
