Product Description
Product Description
An introductory textbook covering all aspects of print production and manufacturing. The printed page is still the most common product of graphic design work, making it essential that designers and illustrators understand the production and printing process. And as more and more print material is finding a dual–use in electronic formats (Web, ebooks, motion–graphics using Flash, etc.), it has become even more important that designers understand the impact their design decisions have on the feasibility of re–purposing their work for various media.

Very informative - outstanding!, 6 May 2005
By Ron - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Guide to Graphic Print Production (Hardcover)
This book is a great introduction to the printing industry. It covers all the major types of printing: offset, digital, screen, etc. and all aspects of print production, from graphic design to post processing. It also includes detailed analysis of the things that can go wrong during the print process and how to avoid and correct them. The book is well written with LOTS of very helpful photographs and graphics.
I knew virtually nothing about printing before I picked up this book, but feel like an expert now!

Too much and a little dated, 22 Aug 2005
By Katie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Guide to Graphic Print Production (Hardcover)
If you want one book that introduces everything involved in print production this may be a good book for you. There is a lot of information in this book. More than any novice designer would need to know. For that reason I found it a bit overwhelming.
It seemed some of technology mentioned was dated and the body text could get confusing at times. However, the call outs on almost every page really did a great job of summarizing the text.

Fantastic!, 21 Feb 2003
By Jerry Miller - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Guide to Graphic Print Production (Hardcover)
Every student coming out of Art School needs to know what is in this book. You can learn it in school, or you can learn it on the job, but if you design anything, you will eventually need to learn what is in this book. Lots of illustrations that explain esoteric concepts very well. Buy it, read it and learn it-you will save money in the long run.
