Épreuve d'Artist refers to the artist's proofs in a limited edition of prints. These are a small number of prints reserved by the artist for personal use and are typically marked with the abbreviation E.A. (épreuve d'artist) or AP (artist's proof). Artist’s proofs are usually identical to the regular edition but are often considered more valuable due to their limited quantity.

A print is an image or text reproduced using a template or master form. Prints are typically created by transferring ink from a prepared matrix to another material, often paper. Common matrices include copper or zinc plates for etching and engraving, aluminum or stone for lithography, wood blocks for woodcuts, and linoleum for linocuts. The term print can also refer to a single impression made from the matrix.
