Ex Why Zed has built a reputation as the place to print your architecture research books. We appreciate that you want your book to have character and display your drawings and work in an interesting and unique manner.
Printing can be a bit of a jargon filled minefield, we realise that. If you haven’t put a book together before give us a shout and we will be happy to answer any questions and provide expert knowledge and advice on setting your file up and choosing the best format.
There are almost infinite possibilties on size, finishing and papers so we offer expert knowledge and advice before your job goes to press, a competitive book print quote to stretch your budget and a high quality standard of printing delivered nationally.
We understand your final research project will be seen by your family, friends and the entire architecture industry…no pressure there then! With that weight of expectation, let’s make it visually brilliant.
• Architectural line drawings can become very faint when they are scaled down to book size. We advise keeping any line weights to 0.25pt or more so they are visible when read.
• There are literally hundreds of options for paper. Check out the ranges from GFSmith and Fedrigoni for something a bit different that will leave a mark and get your course remembered. If your budget and time allows then why not mix a couple of different stocks to accent certain sections of the book?
• Premium cover finishes also add a distinctive quality to any book – choose from spot varnishing, silver gold or coloured foliing and embossing. All will create a striking appearance.
