" Once the edition has been printed, the stone or plate is destroyed or erased, ensuring that no more impressions can be printed. The curator checks each impression against the bon ? tirer, and the prints are embossed with Tamarind's chop (identifying symbol) and the collaborating printer's chop. Then the artist signs and numbers the impression." http://tamarind.unm.edu/process.html However in the past paragraph of the whole page re resurfacing is mentioned: " if all the prints in the edition are sold, do you print more? Never. After the artist signs and numbers each impression in the edition, all stones and plates are effaced. Stones are then resurfaced for future use."
