- Paper type and/or dimensions are either unstated, or are speculative in nature. Any person familiar with authentic Dali artwork would know that paper type and paper size are important indicators of authentic Dali prints. These details can be found in The Official Catalog of the Graphic Works of Salvador Dali by Albert Field. If print details don't line up with the catalog, it's a fake.
- The print is represented as having been printed after 1980 and it is supposedly hand-signed by Dali. Since it is known that Dali did not sign prints from 1980 onwards (Field), a signature after 1980 is not authentic, and the work is a forgery.
- The print is a reproduction of a Salvador Dali oil painting. With rare exception, there are no authentic fine art prints of Salvador Dali paintings. Those are just cheap, or expensive, poster reproductions, and are not considered authentic, original works by the hand of Dali
