He would have been able to print the posters, but had he only raised 10,000, he would still be in the hole for:

Less shipping supplies ($5,811)

Less storage lease for 5 months ($690)

Less postage ($4,701)

Less temporary help ($741)

Less charity: water contribution ($2,000)

$13,943 in addition to his $15,000 loan, as well as Kickstarter taking 5% and the 5% merchant fee, which would have come out to ~$1000. I don't think people would have received the poster.

He also probably would have done a smaller print run, and spent less on shipping and postage. Might not have needed help shipping either.
Most likely, yes. This is what I've done with my two previous posters (smaller run).
All those numbers would of been much smaller if he had only raised $10k though. Still about $2k, which ruins his original budget as well.
