the one ive got contains a unique code on a banksy di-faced tenner which is torn and clipped to the COA
The actual COA is also embossed and signed

Are the edges deckled? I'm a big fan of these and always frame the print showing them; how many Banksy's in the past have had 'clean' edges such as these? Not sure I'm a fan(although the print looks nice and I certainly would have loved to have picked one up)  |

all the original banksy prints were on cut paper, its only been the past few which are on somerset.
Ive got a theory about this, and its that he is releasing a few from a series and somerset paper is quite expensive so doing these quickly on the normal stock would make more sense if more were on the way

It says on the Banksy page "2 Colour hand-pulled screenprint on Archival paper." So I assume that's the expensive sheet like the more recent editions. |

Somerset paper is surely the best paper you can buy, archival is just good paper? No?

Somerset paper is very good, but it depends what you want from a print. personally it think using Industrial paper rather than art paper works really well for some prints. for example Chromalux(not sure of spelling) is my favorite for prints, although it is easily damaged.
If you compare SPQRs Paint bomber print editions, 1 on art paper and the other on chromalux you see a massive difference in the way the Ink sits on top of the Chromalux and you get a much better result.

yeah but commercial printing - hand made papers aside

I've wondered recently how come Banksy's signature changed so much from the one he used to do?  |

ughh so freakin jealous, damn pow and their mind games
have to say the clean sides ease the pain a bit though, im a sucker for damaging edges and the deckle is good at hiding that fact
