BOOK WORKS : DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

PACKAGING AND COSTS....




I want to print my pages onto fireproof stock because it has the same aesthetic as this origami paper from Muji; textured - you can see the pulp, and slightly translucent when held up to the light. Rather than printing onto this paper which is not designed by me, I would like to make my book completely original and design my own paper/pattern. This is obviously more time consuming however. This week I am at home in Suffolk working full time so unfortunately I am not going to have access to the college and have only the evenings to get this done. 
With regards to printing on fireproof stock, I spoke to James in digital print who says that it doesn't print double sided. This is obviously an issue and means that my only option might be to screen print (which I had previously decided against due to time restrictions). However, I spoke to someone else who said that they printed double sided on fireproof, and that the colour difference is immeasurable, but as I am printing just black, it may work alright.
