The Standard #5-SPECIAL EFFECTS. New from Sappi.

One of the finest collection of printed special effects I've ever seen is demonstrated in the Standard No. 5 published earlier this year by Sappi Fine Paper.  You may register for a FREE webinar being held tomorrow 2pm EST, June 19 at www.paperspecs.com/webinar.  The host will cover:

• Varnish, aqueous and UV coating techniques
• Specialty inks and spot colors
• Strike-through techniques and lenticular printing
• Laser diecutting, foil-stamping and embossing/debossing techniques
• Engraving, thermography and flocking

If you can't make the webinar, visit the webpage here.  Of course you may contact Mac Papers' Atlanta Sample Department at 770-948-9959 to obtain your personal copy.  It's inspiring and a real treasure for any print designer!  I had a personal introduction from our local rep, then heard the designer Kit Hinrichs and one of the illustrators divulge the production process at an AIGA Atlanta event in April.  Enjoy!
