There were several problems when I went to print the small publication.
- It's not possible to print on double-sided coated paper if it's bigger than a A3.
- It's not possible to print it as big as I planned double sided because there are problems matching both sides (angle shifting, missplacing, etc).
- I printed a test at 70% of the original size on uncoated paper and another one smaller but on coated paper. Colours mostly matched with pantone samples.
- The ink cracked on the long fold because it wasn't possible to use the folding machine for a piece that long. Something to keep in mind for future projects.
- There are some inaccuracies in the outcome: the golden letters seem to have a red stroke produced by the printer and solid colours on surfaces are not free of irregularities.
When printed and folded I noted a few corrections needed to be done:
- The folds on the edges were smaller, so I had to make the document wider to sort it out.
- The quote aligned to the right seemed wrong, and after trying it on the left it looks more natural and easy for the eye to read.
