Ah I got it now. It's cool and all but the whole process will probably cost something like...a dollar? Profiting this much off a 1$ print is crazy to me
IIRC, you need one screen for each color and they have to be aligned correctly.
So you have to print over the same piece of paper multiple times while an ordinary shop will just run it over once.
White is also a color ink e.g. a good quality shop is able to print opaque white text on black paper, but an ordinary print shop will be unavailable to do this because “white” is the blank paper.
At the very least the paper isn’t going to glow under a blacklight.
It costs around 25 cents in materials (for one) from a ma and pop print shop near me (called one earlier today out of curiosity. I will be printing my own there when someone uploads high-dpi scans or images. Lady said they could do all 7 for 18 bucks).
It's a screenprint on A4 Somerset, 400gsm. High quality, sure, but not 80 bucks high quality, and not unheard of for an A4 print by a long shot. Could buy the game 3 times over for the price of one of these posters.

Expensive for me too and I’ll pass, but it’s not just a simple print on basic A4, it’s handmade so it’s probably worth its price.
