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

I am only going to make single sided posters. And you will be able to choose which ones you want.
I think the price for the poster without shipping will be +/- 27 EUR and about 8 EUR for packaging and shipping.

So if you take two, or three or whatever, it should be 27+27+8 = 62 EUR as opposed to 70.
The prices are not final, I need to see what my exact costs are, these are just rough "worst case" estimates.

Dimitri, any chance on a coupé version:

I rather have a coupé than an RS2
(but can we have the power number customised, hardly anyone has 220HP anymore )

Not sure if serious...

Anyway, I got the first sample copies. Suffice to say that they need some work.
The photograph side does not allow for any critique at the moment, but the cutaway is already looking pretty good!

Here is a photo from the cutaway taken with my phone. This is not laminated yet. Lamination will make it more shiny and the colors brighter.
The main issues are:
a) The color balance is off - reds don't look proper red, rather orange.
b) The colors are too dark
c) Because the original paper the poster is printed on has a yellow tint there's plenty of noise in the image.

So, I am going to get busy with photoshop, and we are going to print as many examples as we need, until we get the color balance and brightness just right. I will also run it through a de-noise filter which should clear most of the noise.

Actually the noise is only visible if you look closely, but I don't want any!

Here are some quick snaps from my phone that highlight the color balance issues on the first copy. We already got the contrast better by re-scanning the image at a higher resolution, but now it's up to me to sort out the colors and noise in photoshop.

Looks great
Anyone else noticed that the spec is wrong on the cutaway side - I'm sure it should be 4.8secs to 100kmh ?

I would also be interested in a coupe poster if you are able to get hold of an original one to copy Dmitri

I am afraid that this is going to be enough ball ache, that I won't do this again
On another note, I got a quote on 100 shipping boxes and they are going to come soon.

I will see how good I can get the photo side, but if it's not good enough, I will only produce the cutaway... quality is most important for me.

Not sure if serious...

serious that I prefer a coupé version over the RS2 version, provided there is a choice. If you decide that you only do an RS2 version, I'm happy with that as well
