OUGD504: Design for print; GF Smith visit

GF Smith came in to talk to us about their range of stocks and their capabilities.

When you get your brief, before designing always consider and know what stock you're going to use.

To use GF Smith paper you order it through the printer your printing it at. So you tell them what stock, weight and colour you want, the printers will order it in and print onto it for you.

*If you order two tonnes of paper you can get your own colour made, Burberry use this to get their own specific colour.

If you'd like to order 25 sheets is the minimum.

We were shown a range of different stocks which was actually really helpful, looking at what choices there was. Not just looking at stock to order from GF Smith but just looking at what stocks you can get in general.
