Description
Accept proofKind AP, EA, PP, or HC and positive safe-integer total and number with number no greater than total.
An artwork record can distinguish an edition, proof, accession, attribution, or display note. These labels preserve a stated catalog convention; they do not authenticate an object or establish ownership.
Accept proofKind AP, EA, PP, or HC and positive safe-integer total and number with number no greater than total.
When to use this tool
Use Print Edition Proof Suffix when you need to format a supplied art-record detail consistently while retaining its source and qualifiers.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter proofKind, number, total. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read label. Use the output convention below.
Accept proofKind AP, EA, PP, or HC and positive safe-integer total and number with number no greater than total. Format proofKind followed by number/total.1

| number | Number | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| total | Total | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| label | Formatted label for the supplied components under the convention above. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

"input": {
"proofKind": "AP",

"total": 10
},
"output": {
"label": "AP 2/10"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The label records a supplied edition convention; authenticity, proof status, and an artist's actual numbering policy are not verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Compare the resulting label with the collection catalog and the institution's documentation conventions.
