Print Matters. The Cutting Edge of Print, 20th Anniversary Edition

Today, graphics in print are no longer restricted to 2D surfaces. While traditional manual techniques like screen-printing and letterpress still captivate designers with their handmade characteristics and colour choices, new technology is allowing them to deliver more visual impact by being inventive with conventional materials. The result is a spectrum of interactive prints and playful life-like depictions.
In an attempt to examine the cutting edge of printmaking, Print Matters brings together a collection of print designs that have gone beyond pure digital printing. Through more than 110 recent samples of brand, packaging, communication and book designs, this book offers a professional look into the use of varnish, foil-stamping, die-cuts, thermal prints, technical folds and more, with design specifications in mind.
