Could be, Jim. And then they may not have bleached the paper like they do today. But, even as a child in elementary school I noticed. Besides, where did that printer learn his method? Black and white contrast has been known for a long time. Even customers have their wants. The selection of paper from weight to color, and even what it is made of is quite large. Ink itself has a number of choices. Anybody who has worked and offset press certainly has mixed different colors to make one color. This has to be done right or the different colors show up on the printed pages. And from each sheet of paper how many pages? 2, 4, 6, 8? Lay it out wrong and it gets kinda costly. I thought the printing world is rather interesting.

hutch--

Back in the days when you still printed on paper you could get white computer printer paper for a decent laser printer for about $5.00 AU a packet but you also had the option at 5 to 10 times the price of using textured coloured paper. One thing I used to do as I never printed all that much was to use slightly yellowed textured paper when dealing with government agencies just to rub them the wrong way. With the choice of some massive number of True Type fonts and a little graphics for a header page, you could capitalise on better appearance to put a dent in the stupidity of the public service.

So, Hutch, you've been subversive from way back?  Hmmmmm :)

Here is the standard draft.



I wonder whether anyone can help me with this draft please? I am really struggling to understand what the seam allowances are! I get that the allowance is 1/4 but where is this included and where is it net?! Any pointers VERY gratefully received.

Many thanks
