LIST OF PAPER SIZES
The largest size ( A0) measures one square meter. The height/width ratio remains constant (1:1.41) for all sizes. This means you get the A1 size by folding an A0 paper in two along its shortest side. Then fold the A1 size in two to get an A2 size paper, and so on. A-sizes are used to define the finished paper size in commercial printing: A4 MY FAVORITE SHORT SCENIC FLIGHTS IN MS FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2020 Short scenic flights in Flight Simulator 2020.

Like all printing inks, offset lithography ink consists of three substances: The ink vehicle is the fluid part of the ink that transports the pigment onto the substrate. This is typically an oil-based material. The pigment is the part of the ink that imparts gloss, color, texture, and other characteristics to the printed image.

THE A4 PAPER SIZE

X-HEIGHT | WORDS FROM THE DESIGN, PREPRESS AND PRINTING X-height. In typography the x-height equals the height of a lowercase letter ‘x’, without taking into account ascenders and descenders. Since the x-height represents the most important area of a letterform, it is a more realistic measurement of the size of a typeface than the point size is. The x-height is also known as body height, bodyLIST OF PAPER SIZES
The largest size ( A0) measures one square meter. The height/width ratio remains constant (1:1.41) for all sizes. This means you get the A1 size by folding an A0 paper in two along its shortest side. Then fold the A1 size in two to get an A2 size paper, and so on.

NEW POLL: POPULAR ACROBAT PLUG-INS Cast your vote in the poll to the right, asking you which Adobe Acrobat plug-ins you frequently use for prepress work. Figuring out which plug-ins to include was a chore since I could not find an up-to-date list of popular tools. Surely there must be some magazine or blog getting tired of republishing press releases and instead write a useful article about this? The previous poll asked visitors about the most relevant social mediachannels
for the graphic arts industry. WILL 2018 BE A FERTILE YEAR FOR PRINT? It might very well be, judging by this recent Ikea magazine ad created by Swedish agency Åkestam Holst. It encourages women to pee on the page. If they are pregnant, a special discounted price on cribs will be revealed. The technology is similar to that in pregnancy-test kits.

working my way through ‘On Paper: The Everything of its Two-Thousand-Year History’. Instead of reading a book covering such a topic on paper – as one would expect – I actually bought the ebook version. It is a bit cheaper and you can download it immediately instead of having to wait for delivery. I can take the book (and a few dozen others) with me in my coat and frankly I don’t really find that paper itself adds that much to the reading experience. There are very few types of paper that have a distinct and enjoyable feel to them and those are never used in paperbacks. The contrast between ink and paper is excellent but on the other hand, my Kindle’s front-lit screen is a joy to read in the evening or on gloomy days. Don’t even get me started on ‘the smell of paper’. I much prefer not to smell books at all._CONTINUE READING_

INTERESTING GRAPHIC ARTS SITES AND BLOGS The economy is doing well so printers in Germany have trouble finding new employees. To appeal to the current generation of young professionals BVDM, the German Association of print and media, hasstarted campaigns
called ‘Gestochen scharf’ and ‘Perfekt veredelt’. As you can see they clearly target the hipster generation and their (assumed?) love for color and detail. I learned about the above campaign through the newsletter of blokboek.net , an excellent news site about graphic communication. Other interesting resources are Insights4print by Eddy Hagen and the newsletter and blog of Printindustry.com.
AD-FREE?
Ever wondered why there are ads on a site that claims to be ‘a personal notebook about prepress, printing and publishing’? Maybe you forgot that early on the web was largely ad-free. Nowadays Wikipedia seems to be the only place that still adheres to that principle. Here is my story on how blogs and personal websites can use online ads for a good cause.

PDF 2.0 HAS BEEN RELEASED In 2007 Adobe handed over the PDF file format to ISO, the International Organization for Standardization. It took that organization ten years to come up with a new version of the PDF specifications. Earlier this month that finally happened when ISO released PDF 2.0. In the short run this will not have much impact but the new functions will gradually start being used by design and prepress applications. A short description of the new features and improvements can be found on the page about PDF versions.

USED FOR TOO LONG?
The
Boston Globe published an interesting video tribute to the presses and press men at their Dorchester printing plant, which is about to be closed down. While I admire how they managed to keep presses running for over 50 years, you also have to wonder if lack of innovation isn’t part of the problem that so many newspapers face today. During visits to the United States I’ve never been impressed by any of the newspapers I bought or read at hotels. A boring layout, old-fashioned typefaces, coarse screening and lackluster color, that about sums it up. Newspapers can be much more appealing. My own daily newspaper has a spread dedicated to showing pictures around one central theme, which is way more fun than Instagram. The layout often makes excellent use of the available real estate and color is not an afterthought bolted on top of black text. A printed newspaper should be fun to read and I hope their brand-new facilities also allow the Boston Globe to make their newspaper more appealing.… READ MORE
