Push Print

This seminar on design for lithography print was helpful in terms of how to communicate with printers, different types of binding and paper stocks.

• Perfect bound
  
• Saddle stitched – stapled
  
• Exposed binding – opens out perfectly
  
• Square bound
  

Paper merchants:

• G.F Smith
  
• Fenner paper
  
• Fedrogoni
  
• Robert Horn
  
• Independent paper
  
• Dixon & Roe
  

Specification:

• Ask for a quote by a specific date – ASAP is not specific.
  
• Title of work
  
• Format
  
• Size
  
• How many colours? Any pantone colours?
  
• Stock
  
• Finishing
  
• Quantity
  
• Mention budget – printers can advise about stock, finishing to keep within budget.
