Have finished the book and are now ready to print! We decided to print on slightly glossed paper for the inner pages and then a slightly heavier more textured paper for the cover spread. This decision will ensure that the book has a solid, weighty feel to it. Also, the cover paper is extremely durable which is important due to the target audience being children.
There was a few technical issues whilst we where printing due to the spread sizes being slightly off, however we where able to rectify these issues quickly before printing. Really happy with the finish, now have to leave to flatten over night before binding tomorrow.
