Why We Don't Use "Parchment" Paper
We are sometimes asked why we don't print our posters on parchment paper. The main reason is the fact that it is not historically accurate. True parchment paper was out of common use by the end of the Middle Ages. Even centuries old Gutenberg bibles were mostly printed on paper. Parchment would never have been used in the 19th or 20th centuries for something as everyday and mundane as a wanted poster, advertisement, or notice.
Of course, even those poster vendors who print their posters on parchment aren't using actual parchment which is made from animal hide and quite expensive. Those vendors print their posters on a paper with a pattern that somewhat resembles real parchment. This allows those vendors to mass produce their posters very quickly and cheaply. Good for them, but not so good for the customer because they still don't have the authentic aged look that most customers are looking for.
Our posters are printed on 20 lb paper using a printer that produces a matte print. Each poster then goes through our multi-step aging process that results in the most realistic looking posters available.
