Pigment prints have their origins in the history of prints: "Since its beginnings, prints have been linked to technological progress. It took off thanks to the invention of paper and participated in the evolution of scientific knowledge through its almost exclusive situation of image dissemination. "
Printing and mechanized reproduction subsequently transformed artistic processes such as printmaking. The spread of lithography, screen printing and now digital printing demonstrates continuity in the evolution of printmaking.

To answer this question, some artists create their work on a single file which they call "original", others produce limited (and numbered) prints; still others offer "open editions" (unlimited prints). The value of the work is determined by the existence or not of multiples and by their number.
