What Poster Terms Are Used?

What Is A Reprint
or Commercial Movie
Poster?
The basic definition is that these are not original posters printed
directly by the movie studio for promotional purposes. Reprint and commercial
posters are made by various poster companies that acquire the licensing to
reproduce the image. The main differences are sizing, copyright information, and
sharpness of text print.
Size: Originals are always 27x40 inches (give or take a 1/8 inch) while reprints
will vary from 22x34 inches up to 27x40 inches.
Copyright: Originals will usually say PRINTED IN THE USA at the bottom, whereas
reprints will sometimes have the reprint company name (ZigZag,
Scorpio, Film Freaks, Funky, etc).
Text: You can usually tell a poster is a reprint by looking at the credits &
small print text at the bottom. Some reprints are produced by taking a picture
of the original and then using that picture to make the posters. This can cause
credits and other small text or logos on the reprint to be a bit grainy or
washed out. The credits and small text or logos on originals are sharp and
solid.
Sometimes however, the quality of the reprint is as good as the original, and
without having them side by side, may be impossible to tell. All of our posters
are clearly marked with codes (O), (R) and/or the words Original, Reprint or
Commercial in the item description.
(O) = Original 27x40 approximately
(R) = Reprint, 26x40, 27x39, or 27x40 approximately
(C) = Commercial, sizes vary from 22x34 to 25x36 approximately
(CR) = Commercial reprint, 26x38 approximately
(COS) = Commercial Oversize, 26x38, 27x39, or 27x40 approximately
We use the different codes to differentiate between sizes, suppliers, and
whether or not the poster has cast & crew credits at the bottom.
Is The Item In Stock?
Most items are in stock. If not, we generally can get items within a week

not backorder. All items in an order will be held until in stock and then ship
at one time.

How Do I Find An Item On The Site?
Browse the various categories on the site or use the Search function for
specific items.
Is The Poster Size Accurate?
Yes, within a quarter of an inch or so. We do our best to update sizes should
they change.
Due to the fact that we obtain our posters from different suppliers, it may on
occasion occur that a poster size may differ from the size stated.
If you are going to frame something, please wait until you receive the poster to
have it properly sized. If you have an existing frame, feel free to email us
and check on sizing.
Will The Item I Receive Look Like The Image?
We do our best to find images or take photos that will accurately reflect the
image of each item. However, given
the size of the images on this site, deviations are possible between the image
and the actual item.

condition are the posters in?
Unless noted, all posters are brand new, never used.
