Front Cover...

Inside spread

The outside front cover is covered with an all over de-boss in type listing the names of his clients. The effect is fantastic.

Size of the brochure is 345 x 245mm, portrait, saddle stitched.

It has a 4pp cover on 200gsm and a 24pp text on 120gsm, all printed on our Omnia. For those readers not familiar with Omnia, it is an uncoated paper with a surface treatment. What this means is that it feels like an uncoated paper but because the surface treatment minimises 'dot-gain', the print result is much more like that of a coated silk or gloss coated paper.

The look and feel of the whole publication is very uncoated and tactile but there is absolutely no loss of detail in the images as you can see in the detail image below...

You are probably assuming that this quality piece of print is printed offset litho, but you would be wrong. This job is printed on a digital printing press - a Fujifilm Jet Press 720S. This (relatively) new B2 size digital press is a commercial inkjet printer, which has been built to produce high-quality short run to medium run digital print. Push Print in London installed the press three years ago and as you can see from the result on this job, it is producing the high quality print that Push is renowned for.

One advantage that the Fuji has over the HP Indigo digital presses is that the Fuji doesn't require papers to be 'sapphire treated'.

The book sits nice and flat and the finishing is well done. The weights are perfectly selected and it flows nicely in the hand.

The cover which is printed on the Omnia 200gsm, is the perfect weight as Omnia has a high bulk making it 280microns thick and is just right to take the de-boss. The outside cover is also film laminated with a satin lamination which gives the cover extra durability and as you can see, it has worked well on the Omnia.

Design is by Mark and Chris Thomson at Studio Thomson. The exceptional repro, printing and finishing is by Push Print in London.
