How to Use the Paper Sample Manual
We advise that you take your time to choose the right paper or papers. So, once you receive your samples, go through them all one-by-one. Touch them, get a sense of their texture and weight under your fingers. Flip between the stocks that most interest you to make a careful comparison. Look at the way different papers “take” the print. Think about both image and text. Consider the weights and how that will influence your final product depending on the number of pages and binding options. Enjoy the special finishes and examine how they combine to create certain effects. Make notes, share the samples for your colleagues or design team to get feedback. If you have any questions, talk to us. We’re as passionate about paper as we are about people and print. Our paper stock experts will be happy to answer all your questions.
