You should get it carbon dated to be ultra certain
Hi everyone, I'm pleased to report that this is indeed an original quad and by the sound of it quite possibly rarer than the matt finish. My friend who printed quads during that time took a look at both the matt folded and the rolled version and both are Litho prints and not digital or modern day re prints. It was really interesting as a litho print is made up of four colours, Cyan, Magenta, yellow and black and under strong magnification you can see the dot's that make up the colours and this was clear on both copies and are known as standard 4 colour prints. What sealed the deal was the orange tagline. On closer inspection there were no dots in that colour which means this was a separate reference colour and not a mixture of the 4 hense no dots making this a 5 colour print. This was identical on both which is concrete proof it's an original.Another interesting one was there is a small amount of black bleed from the edges on the reverse which he said would have rubbed off when the the posters were stacked on top after printing.In terms of the paper he believes it would have been a special run requested by a prestige cinema to more than likely be used inside making it much rarer than the matt finish as the Print quality is much better which is clear to see when viewed side by side So there you have it! What a relief A big thank you to Paul and everyone who give there time and input to this thread!P.s if anyone has or knows anyone selling a rolled nightmare on elm street quad please let me know! :-))
