I've only skimmed the pages here but hasn't anyone mentioned the fact Banksy was a bootlegger too? It's true that Banksy made a big play on "copyright is for losers " etc etc. but what did Banksy bootleg? Do you mean stuff like bootleg Massive Attack and Blur CD's and sell down the pub? yes

Are you serious? To be clear, you are presenting the forum with a "comparison" between a photo of a WCP print and a digital screen shot of a Banksy print. That's your comparison? And people are responding with "oh yeah there is a difference". This place.

Christ. I thought it would be more helpful posting the screenshot to save people the time of going to google for a side by side. At no point did I think I would be upsetting someone in the internet in such a way. I can only apologise.

What's the paper texture like? Would like to compare if possible.
Many thanks in advance

Almost neck and neck.
Team "I have a WCP Print" need to step things up.
Thats the only thing worth looking at in this thread.

Art Wanted, by JW on Feb 12, 2018 19:45:26 GMT 1, I bought a couple of these out of curiosity.
Here is a side by side comparison with my Unsigned Girl With Red Balloon (which is framed).
I'm not passing on any judgement, just my observations.
The biggest difference is the colour/tone of the paper. WCP is much more yellow. It doesn't come across in some of the photos due to the auto white balance on my iphone, but side by side they are significantly different.
There is also some loss in detail. Whether that's because of old/battered screens, I'm really not in a position to judge. More speckles on the WCP too.
Overall, decent quality and would look nice on the wall. Came packaged well.
Banksy on the left, WCP on the right.
Banksy on the right this time.
Swapped around again. Banksy on the left for the remaining.
Images have not been adjusted apart from stitching some together.

Finally something besides the old ‘these are crap and crap quality’ with nothing to back it up except it’s coming from banksy owners.
Those photos show these are very decent repros.

I remember the beginning of WCP : Banksy never said something ( at the contrary of BNE or last time Bristol museum ) about WCP : is he agree ? And where WCP has found all this material ?

Maybe the reflection under the glass makes it more white ( and the more you are closer, the more it looks similar ).. Which edition was it ? I have the souvenir to have seen GWRB in yellow paper style ...

I don't think it's because it's behind glass. Here is a pic of mine from back in 2011 outside the frame. I am absolutely confident it hasn't faded so I'm not sure why the WCP looks so yellow in comparison.
The ink looks the same to me though.

Yes, you are right. Well, it was then the words of WCP for the launch of his “ good copies “ ... Then, I remember, several even thought that it was a Banksy extension for people that cannot afford one of his prints ... Anyway I can confirm that packaging, shipping service and printing , for the price, is great

You are right - the paper from Balloon Girl is more yellowish as you can see in my picture. Nevertheless the quality of all prints is really, really good the price given and handling and packaging is better than from some galleries.

Whether that's because of old/battered screens, I'm really not in a position to judge. More speckles on the WCP too. Overall, decent quality and would look nice on the wall. Came packaged well. Banksy on the left, WCP on the right. Banksy on the right this time. Swapped around again. Banksy on the left for the remaining. Images have not been adjusted apart from stitching some together. Shouldn't that be Banksy on the left. Banksy fake on the right?

The pink is too candy pink up ! Anyway WCP is a top professional person and a very smart and kind one too ! Top bloke you say, there .., It looks like the WCP effort was done by using a digital RGB image or photo supplied to the printer which was not properly converted to CMYK. Hence the difference in detail and color.

Now they are available again such as happy choppers. Most likely because they were nice little earners and there is no point in cutting off ones nose to spite their face!
Take the numbering with a bucket of salt.
