How we print
The poster you'd actually pay $40 for at a record store.
Most online prints are 80gsm flimsy stock printed on dye-ink machines that fade in two summers. Balcony Prints presses on heavy matte fine-art paper with archival pigment inks. It is the same standard used by gallery shops, museum stores, and the back-of-house print ops at indie record stores.
Curated
Each print is an original piece designed in-house. A small catalog of art with depth, not an algorithmic 80,000-SKU dump.
Pressed
200gsm museum-grade matte paper. Archival pigment inks, not consumer dye. The same standard a gallery print shop uses.
Shipped flat
Rigid corrugated mailer with corner protection. Posters arrive flat and ready to frame, not curled.
