Artist's proof prints are a special subset of the regular limited edition. Traditionally, artist's proofs number 10% of the total edition, so if there is a limited edition of 500 prints, there will be only 50 artist's proofs. Artist's proofs are generally considered more collectable in the world of art, and their value is proportionally higher than the regular numbered limited edition prints.
Artist's proofs began back when limited editions were all hand-pulled from a press with the artist present to OK the art, confirming the quality of the image. The artist's proofs, being the first prints pulled off a fresh "stone" (the plate which was drawn or etched by the artist to create the prints), were the sharpest and most colorful of the lot.
Today, in the world of modern printing, all the prints in an edition are virtually identical. Artist's proof prints maintain their collectability and value because they are a small subset of the limited edition, and directly involve the artist. Artist's proofs are signed "A/P" or "Artist's Proof" which may or may not be numbered with the serial number of that portion of the limited edition.
