Baroque Portfolios, a renowned name in the world of print and poster collection, has once again made waves in the market with the introduction of their new Deluxe Leather Poster Weights (V2) and the announcement of upcoming portfolios for quad posters. Here’s a detailed look at these exciting developments.
New Deluxe Leather Poster Weights (V2)
The new Deluxe HD Leather Poster Weights (V2) are a significant upgrade from their previous version. Weighing approximately 2.2lbs (1kg) each, these heavyweights are designed to take on the challenge of stubborn prints that have been in a tube for months or printed on heavyweight stock.

Comparison with Previous Version
The previous version of the Deluxe Leather Poster Weights was lighter, with each weight being around 14.5 ounces. The new version’s increased weight and rectangular design make them more suitable for handling heavy prints.
Importance of Poster Weights
Poster weights are essential tools for poster and print collectors. They help in flattening prints, especially those that have been rolled or stored in tubes for a long time.

Baroque’s new weights, with their heavy design, are perfect for handling even the most stubborn prints.

The company has received numerous emails from quad poster collectors, and they are taking their time to ensure the portfolio’s perfection due to its sheer size. More updates will be provided once it’s ready for launch.
