RoastPotatoes Posters: Topre & HHKB Available

[RoastPotatoes]

RoastPotatoes Posters:
I would like to start my poster selling with this Topre poster. I wanted to keep these semi limited but I don't expect to sell out. So I have 50 and I got a bit of interest all over.  These will be shipped in tubes so they are small parcels according to royal mail. If your poster gets destroyed in the mail I will do my best to send replacement.


If you are looking for a HHKB poster as well, please feel free to wait a little so postage can be combined. I just want to make final touches to the HHKB.


It's 300gsm paper. I wanted something quite hefty.




Price:

• Single £8.50
• Both £15

Postage:

• Europe £3.95
• US £5.00
• Tracked:
• £9.75 International UK £7.25 (probably not worth it)

So I was really inspired by hydrospell's screen printing. Sadly these are not screen printed. But I would hopefully like to do one of those in the future. I currently have two designs that I have made myself.
I'm good to go with the Topre design but I am still playing around with my HHKB one. The main contention is the angle and orientation of the HHKB. I have also been thinking about an SSK or a kishsaver. I am a huge fan of grey and keyboards that make use of it. But my end goal is to create something that looks nice on your wall. The poster that inspired me was this old hhkb poster. I contacted Topre to see if they still had any copies but they did not
Topre:

HHKB:

I bought some tubes so I will post them in those. Postage is the key concern as they are obviously fragile. Using tubes does mean they are parcel territory so they do cost a little more to post.

[HoffmanMyster]

I'm very interested. 

Can't have enough posters. 

[nmur]

that HHKB one looks sweet, would def be in

[absyrd]

Interested but only if they come in an easily available / cheap frame size.

[inanis]

I'm interested in both! I would prefer a frameable size as well, but I can get pretty crafty if the situation calls for it.

Edit: I could see that if you did a bunch of the keyboard designs you mentioned (SSK, Kishsaver, etc) in similar color patterns - like the grey/black of the HHKB one, it could make for a interesting wall display. Kind of like how people arrange Patent prints or something.

[DAVYtm]

Interested in both if in a common frame size! These look sweet

+1  Would love a "series" of keyboard prints. 

[absyrd]

16x20 inches
18x24
24x36

Common frame sizes you can often find for dirt cheap for "posters". Places like Michael's in US often have quality ones (think better than dorm room frame) for 50% off, too.

[mason]

Definitely interested as my walls are bare rn

A3 which I think is closer to  16x20. I was not quite aware of paper size differences throughout the world.

[Bromono]

I would grab one for sure!

A3 which I think is closer to  16x20. I was not quite aware of paper size differences throughout the world.

If mounted it is close to 16x20. In inches A3 is 11.69 x 16.53 inches, mounted it is  15.98 x 20 inches. At least that is what Google tells me. inanis is not good at the maths.

Assuming my googling is correct, getting a mat is easy enough and should be pretty cheap. It also makes something look 1000% better in a frame.

[csnickba]

I'm so in for that Topre poster, absolutely love it.

[MagicSauce]

Definitely interested.  Both designs are great!  Looking forward to seeing what your final HHKB poster turns out to be.

[Durvid]

Would absolutely buy both. Keep us updated! 

[raymogi]

Yes please. This will cement my status as a true Topre fanboi.

[billnye]

I would definitely pick up both .

[ghostjuggernaut]

In for both.  Just tell me who to pay.

[byker]

Same.

[mobbo]

In for a Topre one.

In for the HHKB if I happen to get a HHKB anytime soon :3

[ghostjuggernaut]

One suggestion, the part in HHKB where the H meets the K is wrong in your image.  If you are going for the true logo, it overlaps the K slightly.

[HoffmanMyster]

In for both.  Just tell me who to pay.

Hello, please send payment to me. Thank you.

[nmur]

One suggestion, the part in HHKB where the H meets the K is wrong in your image.  If you are going for the true logo, it overlaps the K slightly.

On this note, if you do go in and change it, it looks like the right parts of the K in the poster should be angled a bit sharper.

[dohbot]

I really like that HHKB one1

[swill]

I want a Buckling Spring poster in a similar style to the HHKB poster.  Maybe with a bit more of an old school vibe, but I also think it would be fun in a modern clean line look like what you did with the HHKB.  Its old school and still awesome (and functional).  I bet you would have a market for it. 

[mrgoldenzombie]

I want a topre poster now!!!!

[MEEPhouse]

Love the colour combination on the Topre design 

[RoastPotatoes]

On this note, if you do go in and change it, it looks like the right parts of the K in the poster should be angled a bit sharper.

I will create some variants and see what happens. The overlap was a conscious decision as I didn't really like how it looked.
I will have a look at the k as well it might have got skewed slightly in the alignment and sizing.

[Glenmael]

I absolutely love the Topre one, would gladly grab one off you nice job!

[absyrd]

Cut mat adds at the very least $20.

[ghostjuggernaut]

One other thing, I would recommend mailing these in the triangle poster tubes. The cylindrical ones have a habit of crushing very easily.

I have always wanted to use that.

I will have a look into this. But I do now have a lot of tubes.

[RoastPotatoes]

The first is with the HHKB logo more faithful I don't really mind either way.
The second is with the k adjusted to be steeper.
The third is with the B adjusted ontop of all the changes to.
The fourth is where I realised what I was doing and the correct relative widths for the B.


I also think I have 50 good prints of the Topre poster in A3. The main issue is getting a size that is easily frameable. Posting these is also another worry. I have tubes ready to go but I'm not sure if it would be better with the toblerones.

Sign me up for the topre one. I don't even have a topre  board yet but I want it.

Will you be able to ship outside of CONUS? I am located in Aus

I am in the UK but I will happily ship into CONUS and outside no problem.


Progress has been made on a kishsaver one but I'm not entirely sure which direction I will end up going. Once I become more confident in what I am doing with it, it will be shared. Through creating the kish I was thinking I could possibly incorporate the rest of the 4704 family in some way so this may alter the direction.


jfing14 I recommend Topre

[jaffers]

Sweet, can't wait. Hopefully I have some funds by then

[chroness]

Might need a HHKB one if shipping to Canada is reasonable!

Also, this took a few minutes and I realized halfway through that I actually paid for the HHKB Fn not the Topre Poster (going to get the HHKB one), so I made an accident.

I might have jumped the gun here. I was fairly certain my prints were fine, but as I was beginning to pack them they really aren't what I want.




The many I have will be useful to line tubes or use as wallpaper:

Further Reprint:


There is a place I will go to tomorrow but if that doesn't pan out I will refund everything and print around for a bit before I start it up again.

[Glenmael]

Ah that's disappointing they look pretty ok to me though, hope the reprints are what you expect

There is a lot of visible print lines that I'm fairly certain shouldn't be visible, or at least not as prominent.

Ah right, I see that, slightly, must be more prominent in real life... hopefully they can re-print them at no cost (or minimal) to you.

I'd be happy to pay a few extra $'s if needed to get this across the line.

[HoffmanMyster]

I filled out the order form. 

[jaffers]

Ahhhh, is there shipping to Australia? I'd love to grab one, maybe the HHKB as well. Do you want me to just submit the form?

Got my order in for a Topre! Hope you work out the printing issues because I can't wait to put this up on my wall 

[DAVYtm]

Hope there's some Topre left by the time HHKB is ready, these will look amazing in my new office

[RoastPotatoes]

New prints are on hand and they are looking much better. I will pack and send all that have paid tomorrow and then invoice those who have not received invoices.

[RoastPotatoes]

All paid invoices were sent out yesterday there might be an issue with one, but everything went ok. I will send out receipt photographs after I do round two as that will hopefully reduce the possibility of me sending blank emails to people.

I'm not sure if I lost a post in the rollback, but the Topre poster reprints were fine, much better than what I previously received and I am up-to-date with shipping. Everything paid for went out last week or the end of the week before. One has arrived but that was the UK. So hopefully a couple should start turning up.

If it's not too much bother, do you happen to have tracking numbers?  Not critical, but it's fun to track.

Sorry I do not have tracking for these. I only have proof of shipping which I was going to send out in a big mail merge.

My reservations are with how the B looks. Sometimes I like it but sometimes I'm not sure its good enough. I will try to do this sooner and move ahead with it and potentially some other designs.

I do think the 4th of the designs you posted in an earlier post, although less technically accurate, is the most aesthetically pleasing.

My vote is for #4

Hey Roast,

I was wondering if posters have been sent out yet? I paid my order a month ago and I'm still anxiously waiting

[mason]

Here she is  I'll hang it tomorrow.

I had to cut the white off of the top and bottom, but whatever. 16.5 in. x 12 in.

I also wanted to share these



I like the colours more than anything else. But I'm not sure if they are viable as anything.

[RoastPotatoes]

These seem good. I will update the form in a day or so. I'm very excited about these. They look excellent in person. HHKB is very clean. I went with the more authentic one as I thought it would be better.

[Karura]

I really like the clean and minimalist design decisions you made for these posters!

I'm looking to frame up four posters in a row, would you happen to be willing to design an ALPS or MX poster to accompany these?

Would love to have them all match and looking "put-together" in the man-cave.

Cheers

[DAVYtm]

Just paid my invoice! What are the dimensions of the posters? Going to get some frames so I can hang them up when they get here

They are UK A3. Look that up for exact dimensions. On terrible internet at the moment so I'm barely able to reply.

Thanks to everyone who has paid. I am aiming to send all paid stuff out on Monday. If you have not been invoiced yet there might be a bit of a delay as I think I might need to get some more tubes or triangles.

[Pemdas]

Got my topre poster today! It's gorgeous and the paper is super heavy duty!

Gonna go find a frame asap, thanks a bunch 

[Glenmael]

Have had my Topre poster for a little while now, need to find it a frame this weekend awesome quality.

[jaffers]

So I paid a fairly long time ago and still haven't received my poster... Will it be sent soon? Or has it already been sent?

[RoastPotatoes]

All that was paid for in this latest round should now be sent out.

[JulienC]

Payment sent for both, can't wait to get them

[mason]

My HHKB poster came in yesterday! 

[billnye]

Got mine today and they look great!

Thank you for the nice posters. If you decide to make more I will certainly buy them.

[DAVYtm]

Got my posters a few days ago, they look fantastic! I like the Topre one especially. Will be going out and getting frames for them this week

[RoastPotatoes]

Thanks everybody.



I'm not sure if to keep the same background. There was some interest in the black version of the HHKB so I thought I'd give it a shot.
