Hunger Magazine by Rankin – Issue 30

Hunger Magazine‘s 30th issue is an example of exceptional print quality, choosing from the premium coated paper Fedrigoni Symbol Freelife Satin for the cover and Symbol Freelife Gloss for the text pages. These papers are integral to the magazine’s stunning visual and tactile appeal. Rankin’s photographs are rich and require a paper that can do justice to its vibrancy and detail.

From ensuring digital files are meticulously prepared for the best possible reproduction to the recommendation of Symbol Freelife Gloss for the text pages the print process has been supervised by David Arkell at &Printed focusing on optimizing image detail. Symbol Freelife Gloss Premium White has been chosen for its crisp white tone, striking a perfect balance that enhances the visual clarity and depth of the images. The impact of this choice is clear when comparing it to previous Hunger issues.

The cover on Symbol Freelife Satin adds a sophisticated sheen, complementing the bold imagery without overpowering it. This combination of papers provides a cohesive and tactile experience, ensuring the magazine is both visually and physically engaging.

Printing and specialty Printing

Offset printing is one of the most common techniques used to achieve optimum quality for images and text. The name of the product is often highlighted with printing techniques such as embossed printing and hot foil stamping. The latter is generally used to obtain very realistic metallic colours that are very difficult to achieve with other printing techniques. If the board or paper chosen for a package has dark or bright colours, screen printing allows the application of covering inks that can be highlighted against the background.
