Lenasbitch92 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I just brought this poster Hopefully that uploads but I'm just after some advice I've never got a poster signed before its I think a1 size :) so just wondering how you guys transport them and what do you do once it's been signed I don't wanna risk smudging the signature well that's if I get Rons auto without a diamond pass anyway :) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Name Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Poster tube to carry it. I blow on the auto and don't roll it up until I'm sure it's dry. I'll find somewhere to stand off to the side for a minute or two if I need to. Most pens don't take that long to dry though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompain100 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I bring mine in the cardboard tube it arrived in, which is pretty much indestructible, that I carry around London and conventions with a vice-like grip so ain't nobody going to grab it from me. And once it's been signed, I blow on the ink then put it back in the tube.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I have always used poster tubes. All you have to be careful of is when you roll it up to put it away, pause for a couple of minutes before you do to make sure the signature is completely dry and depending on which way it is rolled (picture inside the roll or outside - most I've found are usually rolled with the picture outside) I make sure the poster is rolled so that the signature is on an inner roll so it's not touching the poster tube just on the off chance it might get rubbed off. This would only be an issue if you get it signed on either the top or bottom edge. Hope that made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think about the tube it arrives in that's a great idea :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that makes sense :) I'll probably get it signed next to the reaper logo tbh :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Just be careful if you get it signed in silver though as it's notorious for taking a little longer to dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong Name Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Only thing with using the tube it came in is that they don't tend to have a strap on them so you can't throw it over your shoulder. Actaully having to carry it all day could be a real pain, especially with a tube for an A1 poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) Indeed, I usually make sure I've got a bag big enough I can carry it in even though it sticks out as I've usually got one on me for the 8x10 folder I carry as well. I've been this kind of thing as well most recently and you can put a poster tube inside as well as long as it fits.

I'll just pop in in my backpack and do the zip up as far as it'll go with tube sticking out top or something I'll figure it out thanks for the advice though :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlesberg Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I highly recommend a proper poster tube, one with a strap, that telescopes for larger or smaller posters and also waterproof in case its bucketing down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
