Thats my view any way. Though I should say if I were buying one of the collectable posters some of these other guys are buying, I could see getting it framed professionally.

Thanks for the reply. I have never framed a poster (or even a picture to be honest) so the process seems daunting and I would not want to ruin anything I've just purchased in the process. With that said, I definitely see the benefit of money saved if I do it myself. Perhaps I will try on a smaller poster and see how it goes. I only have wall space for a few more full sized posters, but my hallways are bare and can sport a few smaller sized posters for sure.

With the larger of the two, you could see the banding that appears sometimes when you print solid colors from an inkjet printer. With the other poster, they didn't even bother trimming off the large white border at the bottom that was another dead giveaway that it was produced using a computer printer and not a printing press. |
Thank you for the reply. Looks like Kinsella is pretty passionate on this, which I would hope if he is dedicated to his hobby (and business?). Sadly I have already purchased my two reprints and so I will simply have to wait and see what kind of quality I receive, but I do appreciate sharing your experiences and I will take this (and soon my own experiences) into consideration moving forward. With that said, I'm also not in a position to start spending $150+ for original prints + framing afterword, so right now budget will also play a large roll in my poster purchasing.
Thank you again.
