Quality & Craftsmanship
Premium quality is our top priority. We take great care in selecting the finest archival paper and industry-leading archival inks, specifically formulated to resist the effects of time and sunlight. Every print is crafted in the United States, with meticulous attention to detail.
Collectibility
Our limited edition prints often sell out quickly, offering collectors a rare opportunity to own works that may become increasingly valuable over time. With finite quantities and the involvement of esteemed artists, these pieces are not just art—they're a worthy investment.
Curation
All of our editions are produced exclusively for PCP, ensuring that our prints are only available through our website.
Limited Edition
A Limited Edition is a predetermined quantity of prints created before production. Once sold out, no additional prints with the same specifications will be produced.
AP & PP
An Artist Proof (AP) or PP (Printers Proof) is one of the first prints off the press, considered the highest quality in the edition. APs are often more valuable than numbered editions and are not included in the total count of a limited edition.
Open Edition
Open-edition prints are not limited in quantity and can be produced signed or unsigned.
Artist Edition (HPM)
Hand Painted Multiple (HPM) prints are unique, hand-touched works of art created by the artist. Each piece is distinct, often using mixed media, making them more valuable and limited compared to standard editions.
Original
Originals are one-of-a-kind artworks, each considered edition 1 of 1.
Archives
Archive Collection prints are from previously sold-out editions. These highly sought-after prints, including numbered editions and artist proofs, are available on the website.
Silkscreen Printing
Silkscreen printing is a technique where a mesh screen is used to transfer ink onto a surface, except in areas blocked by a stencil. A squeegee is used to push ink through the open mesh, and with each stroke, the screen momentarily touches the substrate to apply the ink. Since one color is printed at a time, multiple screens are often used to create a single image. Due to the nature of this process, each print may have slight variations in color and ink coverage, making each piece unique—this is the inherent beauty of screen-printing.
What is Four-Color Process?
Four-color process printing is a screen-printing method where a color image is separated into four distinct values using filters and screens. These values correspond to the four process ink colors—Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (CMYK)—which together reproduce the full spectrum of colors in the original image. This process is widely used in the printing industry to accurately reproduce artwork.
What is a Giclée?
Giclée (pronounced “zhee-clay”) prints are high-quality reproductions created on a large-format, high-resolution inkjet printer using archival pigment-based inks. This method uses advanced computer technology to closely replicate an artist’s original work, matching the color, contrast, and detail with great precision. Giclées are produced individually, and depending on their size, can take up to an hour to complete each print.

What is a COA?
A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is a document that accompanies a piece of artwork to confirm its authenticity. It typically includes the artwork's title, the artist's name, the date of creation, the medium used, and other details that verify the artwork is genuine. The COA may be numbered and signed by the artist or a certifying authority, and often features an embossed seal to prevent duplication. This certificate is crucial for collectors as it adds value by guaranteeing the artwork's legitimacy and provenance.
What should I do with the COA?
To protect your COA, keep it in a secure place like a filing cabinet. Alternatively, you can attach it to the back of the framed artwork.
Can I replace my COA if lost?
A COA is issued once per print and cannot be replaced if lost or damaged. If you don’t find a COA with your artwork, check inside the tube, as it may be stuck at the bottom.
