1. The artist, working alone or with only incidental assistance
on mechanical chores of the preparatory process, has created and prepared
the image components needed to produce the completed print image. The print
image was conceived by the artist for solely one print edition or was adapted
by the artist from a preexisiting version of any image of the artist's own
art.
2. The artist, working alone or with only incidental assistance on routine
chores of the master-making process, has personally made the master from
which the prints will be pulled or has delivered the component images
to a specialized craftsman who performs the actual required processing under
the artist's direct supervision.
3. The artist, working alone or with only incidental assistance on
routine chores of the printing process, has personally printed the master
or has delivered the master (or component masters) to a craftsman-printer
to do the actual printing under the artist's direct supervision. In the
latter case, the artist remains with the printer at least until a completed
proof of the entire image is obtained that is satisfactory to the artist,
who then signs and dates the approval proof or bon a tirer.
4. The artist personally signs his or her name on every copy of the
print edition.
5. The artist prepares and issues a print-documentation sheet for
the print edition, attesting to the truth and the accuracy of the four criteria
noted above. The sheet is signed by the artist and notarized, and the artist
provides copies of it to anyone on request.
