Tom, I don't quite understand what you meant above. If the edition sells out,
doesn't mean it is out (no more print)? So what print are you raising to
$600? Or do you mean you currently sell all 8x10 prints at $300 each and will
raise the price when you sell out all edition? But as you continue to make
prints, wouldn't it be that you will never sell out all the editions? I
believe I misread you somewhere. Could you explain a little?

If we are talking about material costs only, I think the main cost factor for
gum is the paper. There are so many different papers that one can choose, so
one can make a 8x10 gum print which is cheaper or more expensive than a
silver print. :)
