The Canvas for the Perfect Printing MasterpieceWritten by Paul Hood
Making right choice of media for printing is a must if you want to have a great output. Having a good working knowledge of best materials to use for your printing needs will spell success of your project. On other side of coin, lack of know-how is likely to cause disaster. Fortunately for printing dummies, there are guides out there aimed at making printing process and all things in between a walk in park. Amateurs and professionals may benefit for this as well. A certain guide book released by a Montreal-based paper manufacturer Domtar called “Answer Packs” answered call for a comprehensive reference that will enlighten people and give them a better understanding of print process. The book has been well received as predictably it will. Many people are very eager to learn and providing them with needed knowledge is a must. Quoting Jack Rosenberger from his article: "The Answer Packs have been very well received in marketplace because they're simple and helpful," says Huguette Chainey, Domtar's advertising and promotions manager. On Color, for example, demonstrates how to design with different color paper; provides examples of printing with halftones, duotones, and tritones on color paper; and explains how to design with color inks on color paper. Like On Texture, each of instructional cards in On Color contains detailed information about each card's paper stock, inks, and printing techniques.
