Print of the Day FAQ

An open edition is a Print of the Day artwork printed to order, with no limit on how many can be made. Open editions are not signed or numbered and don't come with a Certificate of Authenticity. That's what sets them apart from our limited editions.

A new artwork goes live every day. For its first 24 hours it's 25% off, so the best price on a new print is on the day it's released. You'll find it under Today's Print of the Day.

Every open edition artwork comes in four formats:

• Art print: printed on paper and supplied unframed.
• Framed print: a classic frame with a shatterproof acrylic glaze and no mount, in eight frame colours.
• Box framed print: a deeper frame with a clean, contemporary profile and a shatterproof perspex glaze, in black, natural or white.
• Framed canvas: 400gsm canvas on 38mm stretcher bars, set in a float frame in one of six colours. The image is mirrored around the edges, so none of the artwork is lost.

Framed prints, box frames and framed canvases arrive ready to hang.

All open editions come in standard A sizes, so unframed prints fit off-the-shelf frames:

• A4: 21 x 29.7 cm
• A3: 29.7 x 42 cm
• A2: 42 x 59.4 cm
• A1: 59.4 x 84.1 cm

On a framed print or box frame the artwork is the size shown, and the frame adds a little to the overall size. On a framed canvas, the canvas is the size shown.

Art prints, framed prints and box framed prints are printed on 200gsm Enhanced Matte Art paper, a smooth matte fine art paper. Framed canvases are printed on 400gsm canvas.

Limited editions use Hahnemühle fine art paper instead. You'll find the details in the limited edition questions below.

We don't hold stock. Each print, canvas, card and calendar is made for you by our professional print partner once you order, then sent straight to you. Framed prints and framed canvases are made in the UK.

Both are 7 x 5 inches and printed on Mohawk Superfine 324gsm matte card. Greetings cards are blank inside for your own message and come with a kraft envelope. Postcards are printed on both sides, with room for a message, an address and a stamp.

The back of each one carries the artwork title and a small QR code that links to the full-size print. Cards and postcards are sent by Royal Mail.

The Print of the Day 2027 Art Calendar has twelve artworks, one for each month. It's A4 landscape (29.7 x 21 cm) and opens to A3 on the wall. Weeks start on Monday, and it's printed in full colour on 300gsm silk paper, wire-bound with a hanging hole. It's made to order and posted in a rigid box.

Every artwork carries a small QR code. Scan it and it takes you straight to that print in the shop. See the 2027 calendar.

Some artworks are available as both. Where an artwork has a limited edition, the product page says so. The limited edition is signed, numbered and printed on Hahnemühle paper with a Certificate of Authenticity. Browse them all in Limited Editions.

Print of the Day Limited Edition Art Prints are contemporary artworks created by digital artist and photographer Tim Pearson and produced in strictly controlled edition sizes. Each edition has a predetermined maximum number of prints and, once that edition has sold out, no further prints will be produced as part of that edition.

Limited editions are professionally produced using museum-quality fine-art materials and are accompanied by certification documenting the artwork and its edition.

The maximum edition size depends on the print size:

• A4: 100 prints
• A3: 50 prints
• A2: 25 prints

A1 editions of 10 are planned for the future.

The smaller the edition, the fewer examples of that particular edition can ever be produced. Once the stated edition has been completed, it will not be increased or restarted.

Our Limited Edition Art Prints are always produced on Hahnemühle paper, generally Photo Rag®, a museum-quality fine-art paper widely used for photographic and fine-art printing. Tim Pearson may choose a different Hahnemühle paper for some prints where it suits the image better.

Photo Rag® has a smooth surface and matt finish that is particularly suited to the detail, tonal range and colour found in Print of the Day artwork, while providing the archival qualities expected of a collector-quality fine-art print.

Print of the Day Limited Editions are produced using Canon's professional 12-colour LUCIA PRO pigment ink system.

The system uses Photo Black, Matte Black, Cyan, Photo Cyan, Magenta, Photo Magenta, Yellow, Red, Blue, Grey and Photo Grey pigment inks together with a Chroma Optimiser. The dedicated red and blue inks contribute to a wide colour gamut, while the black and grey inks provide rich blacks, detailed shadows and smooth tonal gradations.

Chroma Optimiser is a clear coating used to regulate surface reflection and improve uniformity. Combined with Hahnemühle Fine Art paper, the LUCIA PRO system provides the colour reproduction, tonal detail and print permanence required for Print of the Day Limited Editions.

Yes. Every Print of the Day Limited Edition Art Print is signed by Tim Pearson and supplied with a Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity, providing a physical record of the artwork and its place within the edition.

Details are also entered into myartregistry.com, where the artwork details (title, media type, ink type, thumbnail image) and the unique certificate and hologram serial numbers are registered, furthering the provenance trail for collectors.

Our certification and edition records form part of the provenance system maintained for Print of the Day artworks, helping preserve a documented connection between the artwork, its edition and the print supplied to the collector.

Yes. Every Print of the Day Limited Edition Art Print is personally signed by Tim Pearson. This forms part of the authentication and presentation of each limited edition print and distinguishes it from our open edition range.

Yes. Each Limited Edition Art Print is individually numbered according to its position within the edition. For example, 7/50 identifies the seventh print in an edition limited to 50.

Edition numbers are controlled as part of Print of the Day's edition and provenance records.

Once all prints within a particular limited edition have been produced, that edition is closed permanently. The edition size will not subsequently be increased and additional copies will not be added to the sold-out edition.

This fixed limit is fundamental to the meaning of a limited edition.

A Limited Edition has a predetermined maximum number of prints. Each Print of the Day Limited Edition Art Print is individually numbered, personally signed by Tim Pearson and supplied with certification.

An Open Edition is not restricted to a predetermined number of prints and does not include the same limited-edition numbering and certification.

Both originate from Print of the Day artwork, but the Limited Edition is specifically produced and documented as a collectible edition.

Yes. Each print size is treated as its own distinct limited edition, with a separately defined edition limit.

For example, an artwork may be released as an A4 edition of 100, an A3 edition of 50 and an A2 edition of 25. Each size has its own edition numbering and records, so an A3 print numbered 7/50 belongs specifically to that A3 edition.

This allows collectors to choose a size while preserving a clearly defined limit for every edition.

No. Once a Limited Edition has been established with a stated maximum number of prints, that limit will not be increased.

An edition of 50 will remain an edition of 50, regardless of demand. Maintaining the original edition limit is an important part of protecting the integrity of the edition for existing collectors.

Print of the Day maintains structured records connecting the original artwork with its individual editions and certification.

Each artwork receives a permanent TPH-ART identification number, while its individual editions and certificates are separately identified within our provenance system. This creates a documented trail between the original digital artwork, the edition and the certified print.

For collectors, this means the history of an edition is managed as part of the artwork itself rather than relying solely on information printed on a product page.

All Print of the Day artwork is created by British photographer and digital artist Tim Pearson, founder of Print of the Day.

His background spans photography, screen printing, commercial print, graphic design and digital art, and he draws on all of it to create each Print of the Day.

Print of the Day artworks are AI-generated using Midjourney. Tim Pearson creates them, chooses which ones become a Print of the Day, and prepares each one for fine-art printing.

His years as a photographer, digital artist, designer and printer shape what he makes and what he chooses to release.

Yes. Every Print of the Day artwork is AI-generated using Midjourney and selected by Tim Pearson.

Tim is a photographer too. He draws on years of different skills, from photography and digital art to design and print, to create each Print of the Day.

Museum-quality fine-art printing combines high-resolution image reproduction with specialist fine-art papers and professional printing processes designed to reproduce artwork with excellent detail, tonal range and colour.

Print of the Day Limited Editions are produced on Hahnemühle Fine Art papers, chosen for their fine-art surfaces, print characteristics and archival qualities.

Print of the Day Limited Editions combine Hahnemühle Fine Art paper with Canon LUCIA PRO pigment inks, creating a professional fine-art printing system designed for excellent image quality and long-term print stability.

Pigment-based inks provide strong resistance to environmental factors, while the Hahnemühle fine-art paper provides the archival-quality foundation expected of a collector print. As with all works on paper, longevity also depends on appropriate handling, framing, display and storage.

Handle your print carefully and avoid touching the printed surface wherever possible. Clean, dry hands or suitable handling gloves are recommended when handling an unframed print.

For long-term display, professional framing using archival-quality materials is recommended. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, excessive humidity, heat and significant changes in environmental conditions.

A sold-out edition will never be reopened or enlarged. Once the stated number of prints within that particular edition has been produced, that edition is permanently closed.

This does not necessarily mean that every possible format of the underlying artwork ceases to exist. Different sizes or formats may constitute separately defined editions, each with its own stated limit. The limit of an existing edition, however, will never be changed.

The edition number identifies an individual print within a specific Limited Edition.

For example, 12/25 means that the print is number 12 from an edition restricted to a maximum of 25 prints.

The second number is therefore particularly important: it records the maximum size of that edition and does not increase later if the artwork becomes popular.

Every numbered print belongs to the same defined edition. A lower number does not mean that Print of the Day considers that particular print artistically superior to another number within the same edition.

Collectors may have their own preferences for particular edition numbers, but all prints within an edition are produced as examples of the same Limited Edition.

Your Certificate of Authenticity should be kept safely as part of the documentation accompanying your artwork.

We recommend retaining it even if the print is subsequently framed. The certificate forms part of the documented history of the Limited Edition and should ideally remain with the artwork if ownership is transferred in the future.

Yes. Print of the Day maintains structured records connecting each Limited Edition with its artwork and Certificate of Authenticity.

The artwork and certificate details will also be registered with Hahnemühle MyArtRegistry, including the relevant certificate number. This provides an additional record through which the authenticity and provenance of the Limited Edition can be verified.

Collectors should retain their Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity with the artwork, as its identifying information forms part of this provenance record.

Hahnemühle MyArtRegistry is an online artwork registration system associated with Hahnemühle's Certificate of Authenticity programme.

Print of the Day Limited Editions are registered with MyArtRegistry using their relevant artwork and certificate information, creating an additional record associated with the physical Certificate of Authenticity supplied with the print.

Together with Print of the Day's own artwork, edition and certificate records, this helps establish a documented provenance trail for the Limited Edition.
