You invest a huge amount of effort, time and resources into getting your designs right. So, the last thing you want is for them to come back from the printers looking less than perfect. That said, it\u2019s easy to get swept up in the creative process and forget about how your artwork will translate in to print. But leaving these considerations until the end of a project can lead to costly mistakes, which is why having a deep understanding of the print process and how it can add value to your artwork – and therefore your clients – is vital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s where this free booklet from Route 1 Print<\/a> can help. A fantastic resource, this handy-sized guide explains and showcases multiple ways in which print can really compliment a design.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The perfect finish<\/h3>\n

Each page of the booklet features expert advice about the print process, all of which is printed on various different stock and finish choices, providing tangible examples for you to feast your eyes and hands on. Stock options include Mohawk Felt Cream, Ice Gold and Kraft Paper. There\u2019s also Spot UV examples, as well as matt, gloss and soft touch lamination finishes. All you have to do is choose the print option best suited to your work and flip the page for details of the exact colour and gsm (grams per square meter).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The third and final chapter of Route 1 Print\u2019s guide, Clashes, highlights the designs and printing methods that don\u2019t get along quite so well, and why you should try to avoid the use of excessive ink and Spot UV where possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
