 Offset lithography, CMYK, four-color process, bleeds, foil-stamping, aqueous coating, gate-folds...we know, we know, the list of strange & complicated terms to describe different types of printing, finishes, and paper stocks can be a little overwhelming. Since the invention of the printing
press by Gutenberg in 1439, it seems that the printing industry is bound and determined to hold on to their secret printing language, leaving the rest of us feeling confused and just a little bit left out.
In this month's newsletter, we're pulling back the curtain on confusing printing lingo to help you communicate more effectively with your printer and get the results you really want. Read on to learn what offset printing really means, how to prepare your digital files for print, and how to choose the right printing service for your next project. Plus, we're featuring a useful new marketing product and a zany trivia quiz that will put your printing knowledge to the test.

Will it Print?
In the days before digital publishing, the layout of publications or the creation of artwork for printing was almost always done by artisans-- craftspeople who either worked with ink-stained hands in a printing shop, or who have been carefully schooled in the craft of printing. Today, you're often on your own when you create an InDesign document for commercial printing. In this article from the April/May issue of InDesign Magazine, you'll find valuable tips for preparing your project for printing that will save you time, money, and a few gray hairs.
