Infinite Print

Much like a digital printing process circumvents a number of limitations imposed by traditional analog methods, an infinite print would theoretically change the very nature of the printing processes' end result. Whereas prints in the commerical sphere have value based around their print run, the idea of creating a series with no upper limit in many ways completely discards the notions of uniqueness and originality that paintings posses and prints somewhat diminish. Like printmaking functions to expand a work's sphere of influence by making it more accessible, an infinite print should completely blow that notion out of the water. But in order for an infinite print to have expanded existence, it must actually be printed! So in essence the challenge is; what work would someone be willing to print?
