Refinements & Preparing for Print

Refinements include the finishing and preparing the document for print in relation to format and stock. Last refinements were made to the layout of type on the cover and opening page. This was initially an experiment to make type more consistent with the varied typesettings used to engage the reader in the hangover cures.This also worked better to visualise the context of the book, by using placement to visualise the context. 

The G.F Smith paper will be used as a cover depending on which method and stock is most appropriate. Each page of the stock will be tested using the same methods. The first method will use digital print to laser print the cover before adding black foil and putting this through a laminator. This process will be used to add a foiled finish to the type. 

The second method will experiment with debossing the type. The paper will initially be soaked and the lasercut wooden characters will be used to deboss the title. However, after testing this process already on black stock and card I am unsure how well the paper will react to being soaked.
