The Print Handbook (2nd Edition)

£5.00 (roughly $8/€6)

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).
