Printing final design








 Once I was pleased with my designs and the message that they communicated I used a much higher level of print quality as apposed the standard print quality of my other leaflets. The image directly above shows the level of quality the digital print room could produce compared to the printer I used previously, the designs were much crisper and had no streaks or colour fades. I printed my designs on 200 gsm matt/gloss paper, this paper could be folded with ease yet was rigid enough to feel tactile and personal when reading it. As I was printing double sided this limited the paper stocks I could experimented with. I think that the 200 gsm paper worked for the designs I created and would allow the publication to be printed multiple times cost effectively. After I printed the designs the two pages accurately aligned double sided so didn’t need to stick the pages together manually. I printed four copied of my designs to make sure that out of the four designs I allowed room for error within my folding and scoring. I have found overall that my printed final designs felt tactile, informative, something much more engaging to the viewer.
