Things designers get wrong
-Bleed 3mm, ticks and crop marks needed
-Business cards need to be individual with bleed
-Brochures and Booklets needs to be single pages not spreads. Send front cover so that the artwork can be tweaked to fit
-dont use transparent spot colours, set them to overprint
-Cutting foram individual spot colour
-Image size roughly the exact size of what it is 300dpi
-8's, 16's 32's when designing books etc.
Are the benefits of the stock going to be appreciated when covered in ink.
Work in turn- each sides backs each other
Sheetwork 8 plates not 4 more expensive different image on the back
Cheaper to print a white stock, then add a tint
Pete Mckee and Judge Gill use this Evolution Print a lot.
