This is yet another example of building and maintaining your reputation through honesty and integrity.
When you do a limited edition print - you must be 100% accurate that if you say there are 20, that only 20 prints of that image exist in the the world!
Fudging by saying “I will do twenty 11 x 17s, then another twenty 20 x 16s, and another twenty 20 x 30s etc”. is tempting to do, but in my opinion inherently dishonest..
if someone pays for a piece that is marked 1/20 - they are buying it with the assumption that only 19 other people in the world have that image . Don't cheat the numbers or again you risk losing another collector for life..
As always, the gain of a few extra dollars in the short term is overshadowed by the irreparable loss of trust by your collector base.. and your reputation is the most precious commodity you have in the art world!
