‘What is an original print?’

Original print sounds like a contradiction in terms. How can a print by its nature, a multiple image, be original?

An original print is an image created from hand cut or uniquely produced source, such as printing blocks, plates or stencils which are used to produce a limited number of prints. The number produced is determined by the artist, or by the actual printing process itself and each print is inked and printed individually by the artist.
