linen backing for a U.K. 12 SHT
« on: June 19, 2010, 12:29:14 PM »
Anyone know where I can get a U.K. 12Sht linen backed? The size is 88"x88" approx, very close to a U.S. 6Sht. There's a bit of restoration to do also. A ballpark price would be good also.

You can try Poster Mountain or Precision Restoration.

A few months ago I had my Japanese special billboard for 2 for the Road done and it was about 65" square.  That ran about $600 + shipping.  Since you're talking about something with about 75% more surface area I suspect it will be more than that, maybe not 75% more but who knows.

I can recommend both of these for larger format material.  I don't think Dario Casadei can handle this size (yet) with his current setup.

Paul, did you ever have anything done with your UK 12 sheet? Or find someone, maybe even more local, to do it for you?

Or is it still in the "to do" pile?    ;)

It's still sat there Jeff, I changed my mind abut getting it done as storing them becomes a chew.

To be honest, for me, storing large linen backed posters is a bit of a chew as well

Paul, do you have a shot of this poster? Would love to see an image, if you have one handy. Seeing some Karloff will put a smile on many a face, indeed!   cheers

In Lille France you have l'incartade.
I know they do very large sizes up to billboards.
Heard good stuff about them, but never used them myself.
But I know that most of Belgian collectors uses this shop.

And if you tell them you were send by :
http://www.affiche-passion.com/en/
Then you will normally get a discount.
At least that's what the owner of affiche passion told me when I bought from him.

Hey Jeff, looking back through my notes, it wasn't for the Man who changed his mind, it was for another poster..

However, I've found the pic of MWCHM on another computer, so will post it anyway.

Mr Blanquart in Lille at "l'incartade" doesn't make a good job, really. The best job I've seen is the one from "Atelier Fouasse" in Toulon

Great clip, Zoongrew. It's always interesting to see the ways various restorers work.  thumbup

That shows that this notion of "european style" is just a notion.

Yeah, I never got that either....

It's about as notional as saying this is the style represented by the 'far side of the moon'..
