Print Handbook for Designers

This little handbook is crammed with stuff which will be very helpful, 
especially if you're into designing anything to go to a commercial printer.
Their goal is to help you see if your ideas will translate well when printed,
as well as show some print possibilities you may not have considered before.

Hopefully, it will cut down on the guesswork that happens
when your job goes from screen to print.

The handbook is printed with 4 process colours, plus one Pantone spot colour.
It includes four different types of paper (uncoated, silk, gloss and the cover)
and has a one colour gate folded cover with a foil.
