| ALL JAY KOKA STUDIO
EDITIONS are produced by the studio... |
| You should know that all of our giclee editions are
produced completely in-house by the studio under the direct supervision of
the artist. Every print is produced, inspected and signed etc by the
artist... one at a time. It doesn't matter where you purchase a Jay Koka
print... on this site, at a gallery or from an art dealer, if it has an embossed seal, it was produced by the artist. All edition sizes are
guaranteed by the studio. |
| Frequently Asked Questions |
| What is a "limited" edition? A limited
edition is one in which the number of reproductions produced is limited to a
specific number. Each print is individually numbered within the edition as
'2/149' for example showing that this print is number 2 in an edition of 149.
Limited editions are also titled and signed by the artist and sometimes dated.
These notations are made in pencil, usually at the bottom edge of the image.
Jay Koka Studio Editions "limited editions" are produced with ample margin for
framing on finest quality, heavy weight, acid free paper by offset lithography
or screenprinting or giclee. All limited edition production is supervised by
the artist. |
| Are they really signed by Jay Koka? Yes. Every single limited edition print is personally inspected
and numbered, titled and signed by the artist. Jay Koka Studio Editions are
also "Embossed" with the Studio Seal to ensure authenticity. |
| What
happens when an edition is sold out? With us, nothing.
When a limited edition is sold out, it is sold out FOREVER. We do not reprint
or issue 'second editions'. NEVER. Sold out editions are only available on the
secondary market over which we have no control. |
| What is a 'poster' edition? Poster (or
'open poster') editions carry no commitment as to how many are produced. There
can be one hundred or one hundred million. And if the edition is sold out, it
can be, at the publisher's discretion, reprinted as many times as necessary to
meet demand. Posters are also usually printed on fairly light weight 'poster'
paper and almost always have writing on them in addition to the art. Jay Koka
Studio Editions specializes in 'limited editions' but we do have a few posters
and occassionally the posters are available with a remarque. |
| What is
an 'artist proof'? Artist Proofs are the artist's
personal copies from an edition. They are often (but not always) offered for
sale. Artist Proofs carry the same image and are the same physical size as the
rest of the 'numbered' edition however, the total number produced is very
small, less than 10% of the total production. Jay Koka Studio Editions Artist
proofs are always dated for the proofing, titled, numbered and signed and are
usually 'remarqued'. Artist Proofs are of special interest to collectors
because of the extremely small number produced, with us, usually 15 or less.
There are generally no proofs available in giclee
editions. |
| What
is a 'press proof'? A Press Proof is a proof sheet left
over from the general edition. They are not always available and are not
offered for sale before the general edition is sold out. Jay Koka Studio
Editions Press Proofs are always 'perfect copies'. We do not however always
have them available for sale. They are notated as 'press proof' and titled and
signed by the artist. There are generally no proofs available in giclee
editions. |
| What if I receive a damaged
print? We replace ALL damaged prints free of charge. We
guarantee that you receive a perfect print in perfect condition. In over a
dozen years of shipping thousands of prints worldwide, we have had less than
twenty damaged prints. This is because we ship prints in a heavy-weight, high
quality tube that is made secifically for us. |
| What if I don't like my print? More than anything, we want you to be happy with the art you
purchase. If the print you receive is not what you expected or you don't like
it, please contact the Studio. By the way, in over a twenty years, we've had
only THREE prints returned. |
| How long will it take to get my print? That's up to you. We offer overnight delivery by FedEx but that can
be costly. Most prints are shipped by registered mail requiring a signature on
receipt. This is highly secure and has worked well for us. For deliveries
throughout North America, delivery is usually less than two
weeks. |

from you. You can request information by the INFO by EMAIL request forms
