Audi RS2/cutaway posters

[prj]

So because the last attempt sadly went nowhere, and there was a lot of interest, I decided to do it myself.

I managed to get some pristine condition posters.
They are currently being scanned at a local typography, and I am going to get samples today/tomorrow.

I will photograph and post up the samples as soon as I get them. Initially I'm going to get a run of 50 printed of each side, and it will be possible to just buy them. No advance payments of any kind.

What I am currently debating is whether I should get them laminated or not.
The paper I am going to get them printed on is not as shiny in appearance as the original paper, but it is also perhaps a little better quality (heavier).
The lamination will make it as shiny as the original one, and as a benefit the poster will be fully washable. Meaning you can hang it up in your garage and do not have to worry about wiping it with a wet cloth every now and then. Without lamination the paper will not be happy in a dirty or moist environment for a length of time.

The only downside of lamination is that the price will be somewhat higher - around 5 EUR or so per poster.
I am aiming right now to be able to do them for 30-35 EUR incl. hard tube packaging and shipping to europe.

Thoughts? Are you guys willing to pay let's say 35 EUR instead of 30 EUR for an indestructible (well almost) and weather proof poster?

or you can buy on ebay de link rather than having a scanned copy.

Might be a very good copy or just a rerun from the original print files but the quality is very good. I offered him 38 Euro's which he accepted rather than the 48 he listed it at.

There's 4 left and they are not laminated - also shipping fee is not included.

Your post is a bit rude too...

I could well be interested in a cut away poster for my workshop, what is the size of the poster as I cant remember from the last attempt

[prj]

The size of the poster is A1, so 841mm x 594mm.

Rude Just giving people a choice. I'm sure you're not worried about the few pounds you'll make from any sales

I'm sure he'll print some more and these are double sided.

I'm not really going to make anything from the sales of these.
As for printing some more - well if he can print them at will, then clearly they are not original posters as he states on eBay, and are just copies.

I am trying to make a better poster (laminated) at a better price.

As to being rude - I don't see why you keep posting that eBay link. I am sure those who wanted it from eBay saw your post the first time around in the other thread. I find it unlikely that you are connected to the eBay seller, so can't see the motive.

Regardless, I am making a run of these, just wanted to give a heads up and perhaps spur some discussion about the lamination process.
I see now that this probably was a mistake, and I should have just gone from start to finish and only written about this once they were all done.

You can put me down for a laminated copy

Also, I am making these single sided, as I see absolutely no point in making a two-sided one.
I'll make a run of both sides, probably drop about 2 grand in it, and hope that people buy them eventually

That's great thanks for running this!
I'm in.

I find the idea of laminated very nice.
Please sign me down for a couple of them will post on a couple of italian forums about this and see if someone will join, if yes I will perform personally addresses and payments to save you some hassle.

Good

I will post pictures of the samples as soon as I get them and a side by side comparison between original and copy.

Dmitri: I'd be up for at least the cutaway side and probably the 3 car side, shipped to Canada. I am sure the Canadian RS2 boys (e.g. Dave T) would be up for a set as well.

Cool.

It also does not matter how many posters I put in one box.
Shipping is going to be the same whether 1 poster or 5 posters, every poster after the first one is going to be 6-7 EUR cheaper.

I am getting hard/long/thin boxes as well so that the posters can arrive unscathed.

[Drummer87]

Hard/Long/Thin.... Is that your chat up line to women

So the price for one poster or both but double sides??
