I have had a few private emails asking how the magnets work in
displaying posters. Basically they are very small but very powerful. I have
fixed four small metal discs onto the wall that I use. The poster is then placed
between the magnets and the discs with the magnets in the corners. The magnets
only come into contact with the linen but they dont leave any marks. They look
very impressive and can be changed regularly. At the moment I use the same size
posters so that I can leave the discs in the same place but this could be easily
adapted to different sized posters.
It is true that the poster is not protected by glass but I
also have a number of framed original oil paintings and they are also not
protected by glass. This is quite common for displaying fine artwork so why not
movie posters? Of course, one very important thing is to keep them away from
direct sunlight.
I change the posters fairly regularly and I have not noticed
any problems with them. There are other creative ways of displaying linen backed
posters without framing them but I like the magnets. The supplier I used was in
