From the screen
to something tangible.
Understand the choices
A closer look at making a print.
A print brings together the image, the file, the ink and the paper. Make Better Prints introduces the decisions that connect them.
Prepare the image
Explore how file preparation and colour management influence the move from screen to print.
Choose the paper
Consider how surface, texture and finish change the way an image feels and is seen.
Look at the print
Learn to consider colour, tone and detail in the physical print, alongside the conditions in which you view it.
Two perspectives, one shared craft
