glens Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I'm guessing it's a copyrited work and Klipsch won't provide the file, if there even is one. Likely printed from a plate anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 More likely done with Adobe Illustrator... even if printed from a plate. You could easily go from an ai file to a plate or negative to make a plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Granted, that's the modern way. But said file has as much chance as being sourced by the printer (as a "complete solution"), as provided by the customer to the printer. Whereas the customer would likely care some less about said file finding its way into the wild - free advertising - it could mean lost business to the printer. It's purely speculation on my part, but I feel it was invited by asking the question here instead of calling the offices in Indy or Hope.

Shakeydeal Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 How much do these posters from @MetropolisLakeOutfitters go for? I'd like to have one. Shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 It's pretty basic, re draw it. I suggest it's Klipsch property though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codewritinfool Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 How much do these posters from [mention=59101]MetropolisLakeOutfitters[/mention] go for? I'd like to have one. Shakey $35 and they are super nice. https://paducahhometheater.com/collections/klipsch-heritage/products/klipsch-heritage-postersI have two and just bought another.

glens Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 "Printed locally and shipped in a thick tube. These are expensive to make and expensive to ship so don't be too shocked at the price." Sounds like it's Cory and not Klipsch proper who's behind this. Yeah, ask him for a copy of the print layout file and see what he says :^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 35.00 is more than reasonable to me. Shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping the poster tubes to me adds about $1. Unless I order a ton of them they cost $18 each to print. Buying hundreds of dollars worth of posters at a time gets it to $14.40 each. Shipping via USPS costs on average about $8.50. If I send via UPS it's $12-14. Card fees cost me $1.05. Website transaction adds fees but I forget how much. Have to drive to the post office and back to ship. It's not normal but I do have some shipping damage and have to make up for it. If anybody thinks it's unreasonable, do the math. Truth be told it's nowhere near worth my time to mess with them at this price in terms of making money but people like it so I do it. If I ship via UPS and don't buy in bulk I actually lose money at that price, just working for free, and eating the damages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glens Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 To clarify, I wasn't intending to suggest that Cory developed the posters. By "behind" I meant merely their existence as a commercial item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
