Are you wondering what to choose from Posters and Artprints? In short, Posters are for those who want a beautiful motif at a reasonable price, which fits in standard frames with a white border and logo from the National Museum. Artprints are for you who want to invest in a motif that is approximately the same as the original, without a visible logo and on a paper that imitates the painting with more structure.
- Paper quality and texture: Artprints are printed on cotton paper with structure to give a texture similar to the original, while Posters are printed on thinner photo paper that appears a little "flatter" and appears like a poster
- White border and crediting: Posters have a 1.2 cm white border on each side and a visible white border at the bottom with crediting and the National Museum's logo. Artprints have a thin white border with credits that disappear below the edges of the frame.
- Sizes: Posters are available in "standard sizes" such as 50x70 mm, while Artprints are adapted to the original motif and may therefore require custom frames. Framing is therefore usually somewhat more expensive with Artprints, while with posters you can buy standard frames.
- Quality and durability: Posters are of high quality in terms of color and detail, but have limitations in durability due to the structure of the paper. In addition to colors and details, Artprints also have archive-resistant properties that can preserve their quality for up to 400 years.
So, while both options offer the option of having the artwork in printed form, Artprints are more suitable for those who want the print to resemble the original as much as possible, while providing long-term durability. Posters can be a good alternative for those who want a more affordable reproduction in standard sizes, although it may have limitations in relation to e.g. durability compared to Artprints.
