Can you loupe them and confirm the dot matrix is the same or different?

I think the shorter poster is a reproduction or restrike.It has to use everything from the first poster and there is nothing new. Even the background image is fuzzy - like it was photographed.The s…Well - I was hoping for a cache of original printing work orders finally solving the purple, orange, mauve theories.Interesting findings though.
Could we be missing a rerelease between the original and 81 rerelease.…(Quote) I concur there are only 7 of 14 Australian related HONDO posts on the main page.I do remember loving your leg quiz before our rift.Your work is excellent and your contribution is app…(Quote) There has been a lot of discussion on the transition from forums to social media. But as long as I can afford it, the forum will be a repository for poster info. Most social media posts will be lost over time. The old head scratcher -…Interesting for sure. Great overview. Was it me or did they mix in American locations - thought I saw Times Square.Couple things from my viewing:
Double Sided Posters are still printed on offset lithography machines …Cool!Public enemy wow! That Riffraff is beautiful too! Great lineup Bruce.Nice!Better paper - first posters were made to last - cotton rag and low lignin. Post depression quality paper scarce and they were used for other things right off the theater wall.
Hondo – I probably came in a little hot.
My actual frustration is more with the setup than the topic. We’ve covered linen backing pretty heavily over the years, and these threads tend to land in the same place.
Your point isn’t wrong—…
If it is senseless and you aren’t contemplating having one backed, why do we have another Hondo thread?This passive, setup “the answer I want” posting for member manipulation is so confusing and frustrating.
<…Is there where I ask if you have read all the Linenbacking threads? There is a ton of discussion on this forum and other forums. For a guy that likes research, you skipped 15+ years of discussion.
$195 is too high for a shit job posterfix…Yes. Methyl and calcium carbonate or cellulose powder.Still no consistent money in the flip - eventually you will run out of suckers. Although cinemaster-Dave still appears to be in business.Well based on your reasoning and intended audience - there is no realistic way to set a retail price. Sky is the limit and based primarily on your skills as a salesman.Ice to Eskimos and all…There are archival fills but they are acrylic based.I despise even showing this to the world.Retail in the sense of 60-100% over the auction realized price. I’ve bought plenty of $40-$100 DS posters on eBay but usually those are within 20% of what I could get them for (or use to be able to get them) at EMP.Even at a 1…But typically I see a retail markup of 60% to 100% depending on location and impulse buying possibilities. If you mark up a poster 100% and try to sell in a collector group - you will get laughed out of the room. You basically can only get that mar…I don’t know the topic then either?
AI could help you determine your prices based on your desired balance sheet goals.
For example do you want 50% margin before expenses? So your poster costs, plus services (restoration) and a…Welcome!Nice!Banners in us are cardstock?Like I mentioned if you hold out for a year, AI will probably be able to make a personalized app with export ability. You can also go ahead and provide metadata as you take pictures for AI to search through. Or write a prompt for AI to provide metad…Nice. Yeah you’ve been doing such a great job - I figure atta boys are not as impactful as when you started. Im
guessing you have backed way more posters than I ever got to. Congrats!
Interested if you modified anything from the orig…Nice. Yeah I’ve been following these two on instagram for a while. I like to study how other approach the practice. Hope it turns out well!There are at least 15-20 linenbackers in the US another 10+ that I know of in Europe. I should clarify that there should be 10+ I don’t have all the European conservators’ contact info.
I would actually trust European backers more. US bac…
