FAQ

About Our Quality:

The2FunAdGuyz.com started by making prints of our collected advertising posters for friends of ours. In many ways, we still make posters for our friends, just for a lot more friends. The quality question we ask: Is this a print we would give a friend?

As our business has grown, we have established a reputation for quality, but inexpensive prints. Our passion for advertising posters, historical prints and photographs means we do not cut corners whether it is our choice of printer, the papers we select or the manner in which we restore the images to their original brilliance. Our commitment to quality means we confine our business to what we do well.

LASER PRINT TECHNOLOGY: Turning vintage images-some of which are a hundred or more years old and may be faded-into vibrant prints means that we can only use laser technology to produce them. Laser prints are far superior to the ink jet method that most print makers use. We use one of the few printers capable of producing a quality, sharp image on a paper with sufficient weight and texture to handle the inks. Yes the printer and inks are more expensive than those many others use, but you will be pleased with the result.

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET: The2FunAdGuyz use the same image file to print the image as you see on screen, but without the watermark. Therefore, the quality of the image you see onscreen matches the quality of the item you receive allowing you to make an informed decision. The only real difference may be that, depending on your monitor, the item you receive may be better because Internet resolution is lower than our high print resolution. This has always been our method to ensure that our friends (customers) know they can buy with confidence.

PAPER QUALITY: The best paper for each image is another important element in producing a quality print. This is one element where one paper may not be the best for all images. In order to achieve the quality we need, we currently use three quality papers, each enhancing a certain kind of print. On each individual product description there is a paper quality section that indicates which of these three papers will be used on that print.

  • GLOSSY PAPER: Most of our posters are printed on a high quality, acid-free, 100-pound glossy premium text paper that allows for maximum color brilliance and fidelity for most older images.

  • SOFT CREAM PAPER: Some images need a softer, subtler, background color in order to achieve the desired effect. To achieve that goal we use a high quality, premium cream-colored acid-free paper. A smooth, level finish allows for maximum color brilliance and fidelity for older images, ultimately providing a warm and natural presentation.

  • PARCHMENT EFFECT PAPER: Some images, particularly historical documents, need a deeper background color that reflects natural aging. To achieve that effect we use quality parchment-like paper that allows for maximum color brilliance for older images, ultimately providing a tempered and natural presentation.

Added Note: The acid-free designation for our papers means there will be almost no yellowing as the print ages-even after a century. This archival level of paper can be displayed for generations, particularly when framed and kept from intense, direct sunlight.

POSTER SIZE: There are several reasons why we produce prints that are 11-inch by 17-inch size or smaller. First, by reducing the size from the larger images, we are able to retain the original intensity of colors on posters that may have faded from their original brilliance. Secondly, the printer that produces the best quality on heavier weight papers uses that size. Finally, most of our customers find this size, particularly when matted and framed, is perfect for far more decorating purposes than larger prints. The exact size of both the image and the paper are stated in each product description. On all posters we leave at least a one-quarter inch border, or more, for matting and framing.

The2FunAdGuyz continues beyond these critical elements to give you a quality purchasing experience with us. We describe the product as accurately as is possible. We answer all communication as quickly as possible. We ship as quickly as possible in a manner you select. We assure a quality experience for every customer, or as we call them--friends.

    About Our Shipping Methods:

    Our goal is to ship your purchase in the fastest, safest manner.

    • Items ship flat in a sturdy, industrial strength stay-flat shipping envelope.

    • All packages have a large DO NOT BEND sticker prominently displayed.

    • Items are placed inside a sealed poly bag, supported by card stock, to protect against moisture and damage.

    Will you ship in a tube upon request?

      After careful testing, we have chosen not to offer shipping via a tube for several reasons. Our experience is that tubes suffer significant crush damage. In order to prevent the greatest danger in the shipping process - moisture damage - our items are first placed in a sealed poly bag. This process traps a small amount of air inside and makes rolling difficult without damaging the poster. Frankly, tube shipping is attractive to some merchants because the tubes themselves are much cheaper than sturdy stay-flat shipping envelopes.

    General Questions:

    Do you have a brick and mortar store I could visit?

In addition to this website, we also have extensive collections available on eBay® where we are PowerSellers® and have maintained a 99.9% customer approval rating.

    I see the word Vintage used often, what does it mean?

      When used as a noun the word Vintage can only apply to Wine. When used as an adjective, like we do here, the word VINTAGE means: characterized by excellence, maturity and enduring appeal, classic. The word ORIGINAL is used to designate an item as an item printed at the time of creation.
