Hi, just wanted to have the confirmation that the 2nd panel of the 1E DM screen has no differences between different print runs... i got one 1st print which makes me think it could be frankensteined...

Is there a way to check the print run of the second panel?

thanks and ciaooo

Coincidentally, I was pondering a similar question on Saturday.

The 11"x17" screen has a blank space for the illustration. The outside is laminated, and the inside is not.

The 11"x34" screen is laminated on both sides. I started peeling off the inside lamination and found that the plastic and paper become as one at about 1" away from the edge.

Ok, but my point is to understand whether my DM screen has been fankensteined or not... now:

the 11''x17'' (what i usually call the 2-fold panel) print run is easy to detect: if theres no artwork then it is a 1st print...

the 11''x34'' (what i call the 4-fold panel, or second panel) print run is not defined... is there any piece of info which could enable me to confirm it is a 1st print?

thanks and ciaooo

I don't know. Are the first and second printings the same height and paper thickness? The two panels that I have match in those respects.

I have no clue... i wrote here in order to ask anyone who owns both printings (1st and 2nd/3rd) to confirm me that there's no way to identify the print run of the large panel... Is there any fellow who can help us?

thanks and ciaooo

I have a 1st and a 4th. If I can help in some way, I'm happy to do so.

Well, for the first printing :

Are the two panels the same height and paper thickness?
Is the 11"x34" panel laminated on both sides?

Same height: yes, and they're taller than my 4th
Same paper thickness: yes, as best I can tell, and they're thinner than my 4th
Lamination: both sections are laminated on the outside, but not the inside
