These guys just launched a brand new Print Handbook for designers and our colleagues from the gifts for geeks site think it’s pretty smart. Designers all over the world are snapping it up, and a few universities too. It’s packed full of examples and tools to help designers make sure their work looks perfect when printed.
The Print Handbook (2nd Edition)
The Print Handbook is your guide when you’re not quite sure what something will look like when printed. Full of examples, it makes the mistakes so you don’t have to.
Printed with 5 colours on silk, gloss and uncoated paper. The cover is foiled and is 300gsm Tangerine Keaykolour (which in our opinion looks and feels awesome).
