Art Posters Intl Announces Alternative to Decorating Your Home Theatre with Expensive Original Movie Posters

Released on = September 22, 2006, 10:17 am

Press Release Author = Le Williams

Industry = Entertainment

Press Release Summary = In North America, particularly in the United States some
originals movie posters are considered collectible items and can be worth hundreds
if not thousands of dollars while other originals may be worth next to nothing
depending on the movie that cause their existence. Using movie posters to decorate
your home theatre does not have to be an expensive undertaking.

Press Release Body = September 22, 2006 -- If you own original movie posters and
have determined they are of collectible status and expect their value to appreciate
over time Leo recommends that you keep them stored in a safe place free of excessive
heat and humidity and use instead, the reproduction version of the posters you have
for your decorating project.

Experience indicate you can achieve the same theme or effect with reproduction movie
posters. Reproduction movie posters of old originals are refurbished posters (i.e.
stains, tapes or tape marks, creases and holes removed and color deterioration
enhanced) manufactured to a quality level acceptable for decorating purposes at a
fraction of the cost of the originals.

Originals are usually more expensive and are frequently acquired for investment
purposes. As such, they should be safely preserved in a safe place to avoid
deterioration in quality. Thousands of dollars can be lost from damaged originals
that have been improperly stored. One must be sure to keep originals stored properly
to safeguard their possible investment status at a future time.

Unfortunately, sellers (dealers) don't always tell you about the possible
deterioration that can occur with high-priced original movie posters if you fail to
store them properly. Damaged originals in poor shape will not necessarily command
the selling price you had aspired for ten or twenty years from now, even when the
demand exceeds the supply. All is not lost however, as modern technology can easily
restore damaged originals to high quality reproductions you can use for your home
decorating project.

The most popular and frequently used economical alternative for decorating a home
theatre is the reduced size (11" x 17") reproduction of the original (27" x 41")
called Movie Poster Art or Master Print. These are available for purchase online at
Art Posters International (http://www.art-posters.net) in just the right format and
quality standards for wall decorating and may be framed, laminated, plaque or
canvass mounted.

If for example the decorating theme you are trying to achieve requires the use of
old classics dating back many years you will find that reproductions would better
serve your decorating needs as the originals would most likely contain defects such
as holes, tears, stains, lines from folding, torn edges and sometimes the original
colors have substantially deteriorated.

The bulkiness of full size originals (27" x 41") make them comparatively less
desirable for decorating limited wall space areas and look awkward and cumbersome.
On the other hand the reduced size reproductions are more easily juxtaposed and
manipulated to achieve the desired theme one wishes to portray on the wall.

Historically, these usually colorful original creations have been used extensively
and exclusively for advertising movies in theatres and elsewhere and have exchanged
many hands and traveled from theatre to theatre, sometimes on a nationwide basis so
what you get is perhaps an original that has been folded, pinned, taped or even
mutilated from mishandling, hence the reason one must inquire about "condition"
prior to purchasing an old original that dates back many years. By overlooking this
truism you will unknowingly purchase a piece of useless junk with a de-valuated
quality you cannot resell or only get pennies for.

Generally speaking, home theatre decorating with movie posters was virtually unheard
of until now, due primarily to the high acquisition costs of ones' favorite original
and the fact that most older originals are often not in enough good repair to give
the decorating quality one intends to obtain. Today, only the wealthy is most likely
able to afford decorating their home theatres with highly expensive originals.

Assuming you wanted to decorate with original King Kong memorabilia posters, you
would quickly discover that an original 27" x 41" one sheet poster of this movie
would probably be worth something of the order of $80,000 to $100,000 or more!
Evidently, your decorating project would become cost-prohibitive if you intended to
use originals for your project.

Art Posters Intl recognized the need for a cheaper but high quality alternative to
satisfy the needs of the home theatre decorating industry. By making available a
comprehensive range of high quality reproductions of vintage movie posters, low
income shoppers are able to decorate their home theatres the way they always wanted
while achieving the same theme and effect including Hollywood glamour, nostalgic
appeal as well as other desirable effects that equals or exceed the art and imagery
quality of expensive originals.

Today's high quality vintage movie poster reproductions as found at
http://www.art-posters.net are the preferred choice for decorating home theatre
projects and other decorating applications in industries such as hotels,
restaurants, college dormitory and in the home and office settings. While some newer
and older original movie posters are available at prices average consumers can
afford, their collectible nature make them less attractive for decorating uses as
they could potentially increase in value over time.

Recognizing the changing trend in buyer behavior and the need exhibited to retain
expensive originals as investment items as well the need for less expensive
memorabilia posters for decorating projects, Art Posters Intl has responded to the
growing need by providing a much cheaper and economical alternative decorating
solution called Movie Poster Art - Master-prints.
