What you’re holding in your hands is an effect of cooperation between STGU (Association of Polish Graphic Designers), OKI – professional printing devices manufacturer, and Antalis – the largest European group in the distribution of print and office papers.

As STGU our task is to support graphic designers in their everyday work. That’s why we want to share our experience in the field of print and creative printing surfaces.

This time we decided to fix you a little print sampler using papers provided by Antalis. We used popular designers’ quotes to create twenty unique designs  printed on various surfaces with use of OKI colour, white and translucent toners. On every card you shall find precise info on quote author, typography, paper weight and print technology used.

Design: Leniva° Fullmetal Agency (Neon Neonov, Lena Mitkowa, Jan Mońka)

Fonts used: Capitalics Michał Jarociński, Maciej Włoczewski, Mateusz Machalski, Ludka Niezgoda

What’s most interesting in this little book is the print itself. We went for bulk tinted papers and completely digital print technology using OKI Pro9000 series machines. This means that all nice things you see (color and white toner printing, translucent varnish on white, colour overprints on tinted paper) can be achieved in a fast and affordable way.

Our team was engaged in every production stage: from conceptual sketches, throughout design, to production and packing.

If you happen to have any questions, or simply you’d like to lay your hands on one of those beauties, drop us a line: board@stgu.pl
