If I'm telling you and he's telling you then just trust...they are more expensive but they look so damn good.

Ok, only if you're looking at the "cottage cheese", as you say. But look at the overall art. That looks amazing ... from Frank Frazetta.

I think the newer HD aluminums don't have glass, so no need to worry about the glare now.

The HD aluminums also come framed and ready to hang so yes it is more expensive but compared to the price of a framed regular print it isn't that drastically different (yes you can frame it yourself but it doesn't look as good without the matte and everything).

OK, that's cool. The one I have is this Batman print from 2020, and while I love it, I could do without the cover. Nowadays I'm only looking to get prints that come in canvas or aluminum, great formats.

I do know the colors are more vibrant than their typical art prints, and that because there's no glass, you won't get any glare when they are displayed on the wall.

thanks!

One thing I dislike about the canvas and HD aluminum prints is that if the artist already signed the image then Sideshow put another sig in pencil. So there are two signatures on the image which is really goofy. I guess you could always take a pencil and take away the automated sig.

The same is true for the paper prints though.

At least with the paper prints the automated signature is on the white border.
