TW Type books...now with added stock

I took the opportunity of my print slot to print off some more type books but on a couple of different stocks. I'll re-photograph these later because these images don't give the full effect of the print but this it gives you the basic idea of whats going on:




These two new stocks are basically thicker higher quality than the 90 gsm I printed on yesterday. One was a matt off-white, the other a more antique shade. Either way there was problems with both. The antique stock came out really dull, while the actual print quality wasn't great on either, probably because of how matt they are. Another problem for both was that any red (of which on of my books has a lot of, and its a stonking rich red too) comes out brown, which is counter productive really, meaning i'll actually be better off sticking with standard white. Plus it folds way better.

Along with the books I did a few hand out cards for one of the typefaces and for the band I did it for, just with their myspace and shop details on. Same format as the books, but on 300gsm board.
