whether you're leaving art college and want to know all the gen on printing for your first job, or if you run your own design business and dread the printers coming up with language you don't understand, or if you're just passionate about design and print and want to produce the best work you can - buy this book. it's informative, straightforward and has lots of examples so it's a bit of an eye candy book too. great value for money.

I have five of the books in this series and love them all. They have the perfect combination of tutorial stuff and real world examples. Inspiring reading, and very well produced.
