• An original print is a fine art process that
  produces multiples. An original print is not a
  copy or a reproduction. Each print is an
  original created and hand pulled by the
  artist.

Relief Printmaking

• A relief print is an image created by a
  printmaking process, such as woodcut, where the
  areas of the matrix (plate or block) that are to
  show printed with color are on the original
  surface the parts of the matrix that are to be
  blank (white or the color of the paper) having
  been cut away, or otherwise removed.

Pulling a Print

• Pulling a print is when you gently lift the print
  from the block after printing.

Brayer

• A brayer is a small hand roller, typically used
  in printmaking techniques to spread ink. They can
  be made of rubber, sponge, or acrylic and come in
  a variety of hardnesses for different
  applications.

Edition

• In printmaking, an edition is a number of prints
  struck from one plate, usually at the same point
  in time. Most modern artists produce only limited
  editions, normally signed by the artist in
  pencil, and numbered as say 67/100 to show the
  unique number of that impression and the total
  edition size.

As you can see in the example the numbers in gray
are what you would write on each of your works as
you pull them. When you get to 100/100 you would
not make any more. Some artist even destroy the
block to assure that no more will be printed.
