weren't there supposed to be prints of the graphics you could buy? i want the cougar framed and on my wall. normally i'd buy the board and hang it up, but no more money these days.

I'd love to have a print of the integrity logo from the top of the decks on the bamboo boards last year. Or the logo from the team deck last year.

mojo, yeah i remember reading about the prints in a thread from a while back......not sure which one it was though........cougar print would look sick

it would be cool if the print was on a piece of wood with the shape of an integrity deck.

I looked into getting the poster made of the cougar graphic...
in order for the cost to be under 20.00 I'd have to have 1,500 made... and use crappy paper and in a smaller size then I'd want.

so i figured you guys would be pissed off if i tried to sell prints for over $30.00 a piece... so the idea got scratched

in order for it to be a high quality color print with a custom height and width on a solid gloss or matte paper the way it should be done... it would be around $50.00 ... now who wants to pay that?

it still could happen... i just can't find any print house willing to work with me... i'm open to ideas if someone knows something i don't.

could you just print up some vinyl posters? they don't even need to be too big. also, i haven't seen it in forever, but were you in class in session?

but vinyl sublimation would look bad ...
you would lose the details and it would cheapen the art...
the colors would be too off!
I really don't think it would turn out well.
If we do it... it will be quality... to preserve the actual art the way it was meant to be.

Whats class in session?

Schmaltz, I'd pay $50 for a print, but would I be able to choose a different one? Not that I dislike the Cougar, I'd just prefer having the '04 Team or Perseverance on my wall.

DRAGON88, whut? you can order the poster quality , you could order it as a canvas, you could order it as a wallet size, you could print it out on your computer paper and put it up in your dorm room

the quality would depend on what resolution and size he uploaded
then we pay to have the original files

info to the people (spreading the integ love and support)

or am i retarded__ cause that's not a shocker if I'm misunderstanding the thought process here

POPTART,

Print shop---> Erich---> Gets to check quality of each print----> Print is finally shipped to customer.

Smugmug----> Direct to customer with no quality checks on something that has his name on it.

I obviously can't speak for Erich, but that would be an issue for me if I were in his shoes.

DRAGON88, very true

he puts countless hours into the quality of his products and doesn't let anything go out the door if its not up to par

quality is erichs thing
no doubt

but i think

we would all jump on this

the opportunity to have the graphics , unscratched and blemished and preserved forever in a nice frame

i know i would love to have both top and bottom graphics of my cougar

but on the other hand being in the industry i am

i def understand the want to control the quality of your products and not have anything out there i wasn't proud to have my name on

it would just be cool to have the posters

Maybe he could just bump the price of the decks up 50ish bucks and sell the posters with the boards

there has to be a better solution this
