File Formats
The poster scans are made from the original slides at 5444x4000 pixels. The original scans are stored in TIFF format 16 bits of colour, Adobe RGB colour space. Each file is 140 Megabytes.
All originals require post-editing in order to be publishable. We will happily do the following post-editing: cropping, colour level adjustment, and colour profile conversion, included in the purchase price.
You can of course do the editing yourself if desired. However, do not order the original unedited files if you are not experienced in colour editing and colour profile conversion.
Quality
The scans are made from photos of wall mounted posters with both spotlight and daylight lightning in 1978. (I.e. the scans have not been made by scanning the original posters with a professional drum scanner.) This means that the following points may have to be considered:
- The colour and white point is not even over the whole picture.
- The scans are not calibrated to any colour or lightning standard.
- There may be reflections in glossy areas of the posters.
- There may be slight geometric distortions.
If we determine that the quality issues make the poster you have ordered unsuitable for publication, we will inform you of that fact. You will of course not be billed if the poster is unsuitable for publication.
File Delivery
- We will send all files suitable for web publishing by email.
- Our experience is that files in print resolution cannot reliably be sent by email, due to size and bandwith limits. We will therefore either ftp the file if you provide a ftp server for incoming files;
- or as an alternative we will send you a CD-R or DVD-R with the requested files.
Cost
We currently only sell to established organisations and companies.
- The cost is 50 euros per picture per web site, or magazine publication.
- VAT will be added within EU if you do not provide a VAT registration number with your order.
- We will bill you.

Mail us at sales@chinaposters.org for details.
Note that single prints in poster size are quite expensive, due to setup costs. We suggest that you order 10 or 100 prints to keep the per copy cost down.
