Again and again I am going to post articles about why I think printing is important, until the internet swells at its seams and finally realizes that it is NO MATCH for the superior power of ink on paper!
The book you see to the left was one of the biggest jobs I ever had the pleasure of working on. 400+ original watercolors by Walter Synodiak scanned over 3 years, every single one had to be clipped then proofed on the Kodak XP4 using the textured stock the book is printed on (which if you have ever used one, you’ll understand why thick textured, uncoated stock is a challenge). The artist had to approve every single one, as he had been painting them since the 70′s. The clients were remotely located, one in Arizona, one in California. This book is huge, the imposition was unique, and I’m sure we lost thousands on it. My co-worker got a free one, having done most of the work. Amazing what people can accomplish. PS- this is why you have a robust archive/backup system.
