[MOPO] Fw: [MOPO] poster fading

[Chris Cloutier]

As someone who worked for 5 years in commercial printing before going into  art restoration (then posters later), I can say- yes-- The posters at the start of a print run may be richer in color than at the end--when the plates have been depleted- ink running out, etc. I see it all the time.  and some posters are printed in different areas of the country depending on where they are being distributed which can account for other variables--not so much in movie posters though.  I often  am asked to enhance the color in posters which are printed in the1890s--- as those by Mucha and Toulous-lautrec.
