What is design for print? Collating research

All of my research for the 'What is design for print?' brief can be found on my design context (here).

These are the chosen subjects for the 'Top 10 manual'. I chose them based on the problems I've faced throughout my time at uni or subjects I wish I had known previously.

Colour (CMYK & RGB)

Rich black

Multi-tone

Paper sizes

Preflight/proof

Print processes

File types

Imposition - In the 'Collection 100' brief, I decided to create a small booklet consisting of 25 illustrations. Due to the way in which it was printed, imposition proved extremely difficult to comprehend (as it was a double sided print). Although I had arranged the designs in order after creating various imposition dummys, it still printed the wrong way round due to the way in which the printers created a double sided print.
