A History of//Digital Publication

Along the way of designing the publication I have been creating a full digital version of the publication, this is mainly to aid presenting the publication to an audience, but also so it can be viewed online.



A history of//Printing the publication

Printing the publication has been a big task. Initially i was planning on printing on a laser printer that i can use for free which i have used in the past and does good quality prints from, so that was sorted in my head.

To start with i tested one of the booklets to make sure it would print it right.


Which once folded looked like this, which i thought was a good enough print out for the booklets and was happy with the quality of it. 





But the trouble came when i printed the rest of the booklets as these have images which overlapped the pages and for some reason the printer couldn't handle it and made a mess of my work.












As you can see there has been alot of errors throughout the booklets in which i sorted out, these were only from the first two, and after looking at them all, they were all as bad. This wasn't ideal for me and i regret relying on that printer now.

But i have now sent my work off to a local printer and hopefully this should be rectified and everything will print out the way it should be and to a higher finish.
