When making a print of an original painting, the process involves, in part, metal plates.
During the printing process the image on the plate can deteriorate.
The artist decides how many prints they can run before this happens.
When you see the numbers on a print they will say something to the effect of 30/300.
This means that it would be the 30th print out of a total of 300 prints.
When purchasing a print, collectors always want to have the earliest prints off of the press to ensure the best quality image.
The printing process today is much more sophisticated and can produce hundreds, if not thousands of prints before there is any sign of a poorer quality image.
Nowadays, it is in the artist's interest to limit the run of prints from their artwork to keep the value of their prints higher.
Supply and demand.

How can you determine the engine type from the VIN?
To whom it may concern, I personally just went through this with suzuki on a bike I'm restoring. the VIN number on the frame only tells the information about what country built the frame,what year the frame was built,what plant the frame was built in , a secret code letter that only the factory knows what it means and the number of the frame,,ie. frame number 1000 out of 12457 units built. what the numbers on the engine mean,I have no idea. I have checked different sites but to no avail. What i suggest you do,is to copy down both the VIN and engine number,contact the manufacterer,In my case it was Suzuki Canada,and they did the research for me. Every manufacturer records the numbers when the vehicle is built and archives this information.In my case I found out that even though the engine and frame numbers were different,they were the right numbers and the frame and engine match together. I hope this helps and good luck.
