This brochure is a typical case where the inputs are not so high resolution and yet, using 10m stochastic screen the final product looks very impressive. Actually the process of halftoning is like looking at a photograph through a sieve. Coarser screens can block data and finer screens let more data to pass through on to the printed paper. So one advantage of using FM 10 is that it allows most of the data to pass on. So printing not-so-high resolution files with FM 10 has its own advantage.
Two different types of papers were used in this brochure: 230 GSM textured paper and tracing paper. Targets were printed on both of them and TVI curves were created.
Since pages were 230 GSM and tracing paper to be inserted, it was not possible to do hot-melt binding without pinning the textblock together. That would take up about 8 to 10 mm space on the binding side and there were number of photographs spread across facing pages. So to accommodate them the photographs appearing on the spreads were shifted 10 mm away from the binding edge, and pages were creased at 10 mm from the center fold before binding so as to create seamless spreads.
