In the intaglio printmaking process, lines of an image to be printed on paper are incised first by hand-held tools and/or acids onto the surface of (generally) a flat metal plate, most often, copper.

Picasso's Printmaking Techniques

The surface of the metal plate is inked and then wiped so the only ink that remains is in the incised areas of the plate. The paper is carefully positioned on top of the inked metal plate and "pulled" through a press, pressure pushing the paper onto the inked plate allowing the ink to be transferred to the paper producing an original print, or graphic. With intaglio prints one can observe the outer edge of the metal plate impressed into the paper due to the pressure of the printing press. The paper margins extend beyond the plate mark. Some of Picasso's prints were printed on smaller margined papers and some of the same image were printed on larger paper and therefore wider margins.

Special edition

The terms special edition, limited edition, and variants such as deluxe edition or collector's edition, are used as a marketing incentive for various kinds of products, originally published products related to the arts, such as books, prints, video games or recorded music and films, but now including cars, fine wine, and whisky, among other products. A limited edition is restricted in the number of copies produced, although in fact the number may be very low or very high. A special edition implies there is extra material of some kind included. The term is frequently used on DVD film releases, often when the so-called special edition is actually the only version released. Collector's edition[edit] Collector's edition may just be another term for special edition. Disc products[edit] In many cases, successful film releases have had items made in limited numbers.
