table of contents
are the posters printed on FSC paper?
Of course. All posters are printed on FSC-certified paper. To reduce its environmental impact this is important. Also, the packaging is made from FSC-certified cardboard wherever possible.
does typo chaotic make use of artificial intelligence?
This is an important FAQ. As far as creating the posters is concerned, that hasn’t happened to date. In fact, typo isn’t particularly impressed by AI. There has been some experimentation with it for the website, but even that has hardly been used.
how big is a poster?
To give you a bit of an idea of hoe big a poster is, here the sizes and proportions of the posters, you can compare the proportions here with an A4 sheet. In Europe, A4 is the most commonly used size for stationery.
Of course, it wouldn’t hurt to grab a ruler and measure out 60 cm, for example.
As you can see in the image, there are other sizes represented too. That’s a hint in this FAQ at future products from typo chaotic.

no reviews?
Why doesn’t typo chaotic have any reviews on its own website? Because Typo believes that many of these reviews are completely inaccurate. For example, I recently bought a bike from what the reviews claimed was one of the best bike shops in Berlin. It turned out to be a huge disappointment. After the sale, the owner wasn’t nearly as friendly anymore and the service was poor. After a few visits, it became clear that I wasn’t the only one who’d had a bad experience with that bike shop. And yet they had some truly brilliant reviews.
This example isn’t an isolated one. The chair from the Swedish furniture store, which was supposedly so good according to the reviews, turned out not to be good at all. And that brilliant little restaurant with 4.5 stars turned out to be downright bad. As the owner of this website, typo doesn’t want to fall into this review trap either, which is why there are no reviews on the website itself.
payments
When you make a sale, you also need to process payments. Since you want your online store to be reliable, you naturally need to choose a reliable payment processing partner. That’s why typo has chosen Mollie. Mollie offers all modern payment systems: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and credit cards. WERO will also be added to the payment options.
To clarify: For example, when you buy a poster from Typo Chaotic, your bank statement will show the entry Mol*Erwin van t Slot. Since typo lives in Germany and is a small business owner there, typo is registered under his personal name. And as you can see in the legal notice, that name is Erwin van t Slot. This way, you can be sure that the payment to typo is correct. This typo seemed like a very important FAQ question.
why is there a difference in colour
The difference in colour between a screen and a print is caused by completely different colour reproduction techniques. Your screen emits light via pixels that combine red, green and blue light points, whilst printed material absorbs and reflects light via layers of ink on paper.
Screens use an additive colour system in which light is added to create colours. The more light from the three primary colours is added, the brighter and whiter the result becomes. Paper works exactly the opposite way: it absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects others back to your eye.
The light source also plays an important role. Your monitor has a constant, bright light source, whilst printed material depends on ambient light. Artificial light, daylight or fluorescent lighting all influence how you perceive the printed colours.
The surface of the material makes the difference even greater. Coated paper reflects light differently from matt paper, and textiles absorb colours more strongly than plastic. These physical properties mean that the same colour looks different on different materials.
Important to note. This page is updated regularly. This is because we receive new questions from customers. After all, there’s a reason why this page is called ‘Frequently Asked Questions’, also known as the FAQ. Or because there’s a typo that needs clarifying.
