What is the difference between copyright release and a print release?

A copyright release document releases the copyright from the photographer and transfers it over to the client. The client can then do whatever they wish with the image(s).

A print release document allows the client to print the photographer’s image(s) for personal use, while the photographer maintains copyright of the image(s).  Note that this release only applies to you and not to anyone else.  You may not send the image file to other people and let them print or otherwise reproduce.
