Setting up “BLOCK COLOR AND PAPER SELECTION” At first glance, choosing the right type of paper may seem like a complicated process, but it's actually much simpler than that! My configurator is here to help you make that choice. All you need to do is select a few basic settings: print color and paper type. Let's get started!
PRINT COLOR
Imagine what the pages of your future book should look like. Black and white, brightly colored, or perhaps with a photo effect? Here are the options I suggest:
- Monochrome black and white — classic black and white printing. Ideal for books where text clarity and color economy are important.
- Color — this option is ideal for highlighting individual elements or for grayscale images. It looks stylish but is less expensive than photo-quality color printing.
- Color, photo-quality printing - is for those who want their prints to be as vivid and saturated as possible. This is an excellent choice for books intended for gift editions or art albums. Here, you can even create fully colored pages with a wide range of shades.
TYPE OF PAPER
Now that you have chosen the print color, let's move on to choosing the paper. Here it is important to pay attention to its density. Density is measured in grams per square meter (g/m²). To give you an idea, standard office paper has a density of 80 g/m². The higher this number, the thicker and stronger the paper will be.
Here's what you can choose in the configurator:
- White offset paper 80 g/m² — standard paper for most books. It is quite light, convenient, and widely used for printing texts.
- Munken Pure, cream paper 80 g/m² — this high-quality cream-colored paper is ideal for texts that need to be delicate and pleasing to the eye. On this paper, the text will look softer and the contrast less vivid.
- Munken Pure, cream paper 100 g/m² — a denser option that prevents show-through on the reverse side of the page. However, colors on this paper will be less saturated than on white paper.
- Munken Pure, 120 g/m² cream paper — the ideal choice for magazines with a small number of pages. This paper adds elegance and premium quality to the publication.
- Smooth white paper 100 g/m² — the perfect option for high color rendering and contrast. This paper is very smooth, and printing on it looks very clear and professional.
