About this session
A technical but accessible session on why illustrated books are harder to produce than text books, and what to insist on.
Colour spaces without the jargon, why screens lie about print, coated versus uncoated stock, what a physical proof round actually involves, how many to expect, and how to review a proof properly.
Includes real proof examples showing what went wrong and how it was fixed.
What you will take away
- How to review a physical proof and what to look for
- Choosing paper stock for your specific kind of images
- What resolution your images actually need for print
