Top Ten Classic Movie Posters

Although cinema and technology has moved on, one thing that has remained constant is the use of movie posters in promoting films. Over the years there have been many posters that stand out and captured the imagination, from cult classics that still make an impact to recent releases that have become iconic instantly. Below is our list of top ten movie posters, leave a comment if you think we've missed any out!

This iconic movie poster was very raunchy 
for the 50's and instantly unforgettable.

       A simple yet powerful poster that conjures up images of the 
       famous dream sequence with Mena Suvari in a bed of rose petals.


A classic film and a simple image that speaks of the bond 
between Elliott and the waddling, glowing-hearted alien.

This Tarantino classic throws back to an earlier decade 
and is finished off with nice touches such as the 10 cent price.


A striking image that brings back memories of childhood tales 
such as little red riding hood, but with a sinister twist.


If you've seen this amazing film, then this poster will take you 
back to the protagonist's escape, a beautifully rendered picture.


A weird insect/bug for a mouth - nice.

We couldn't compile a top ten movie poster list without mentioning 
Saul Bass, the genius behind Anatomy of a Murder, Psycho, The Shining and many more.

A personal favourite an a stunning image that ties 
in nicely with the films most famous moment.


Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...

Environmentally Friendly Banner Printing

Environmentally Friendly Banner Printing. Advertising PVC or Vinyl Banners are usually printed using solvent based inks (. In the past these solvent inks have the ability to aggressively attach themselves to the PVC banners to create a durable outdoor product. The problem was that the we not friendly to either works or the environment. A lot of solvent fumes were given off in the PVC banner printing process and had to be vented outdoors. There was also the issue of disposing of the inks in environmentally responsible ways. End users also experienced the smell of the solvent inks while the inks cured over a number of days perhaps not a problem with outdoor PVC banners but an issue for any point of sale display printed products.

After a number of years development the problem has now been solved with the introduction of latex ink printers. HP have pioneered the use of Latex water base inks. The latex inks are pigmented, waterbased inks that produce vivid colours that are outdoor durable and oudourless.
