A6 Zine
This template provides the framework for an A6 booklet or zine. You can duplicate the document, according to how many pages you will be printing.
We can fit eight printed pages of A6 onto a side of A3 (aka 8pp). After it's printed double sided, this equates to 16pp. Page counts are therefore in multiples of sixteen.
Everything is sent on A3 sized stencils, and printed on A3 paper. Please ensure your pages are arranged in sequence, so once the sheets are printed and bound together, the front and backs align.

Business Card
For small scale Business Cards, use these adobe templates to drop your artwork into place. If you are printing double-sided, you can create two sets of PDFs from the same template. Either duplicate the document, and export each side independently, Or turn off the visibility of one, then the other and save them as unique files (naming them 'FRONT' and 'BACK' accordingly).

Risotto paper scans
We've scanned in our papers for you to utilise when mocking up your artwork. We use them as tools to help us visualise what a finished print might look like, and to help us choose which paper stocks to choose for specific projects.
Ink swatches
We've scanned in our ink swatch cards, fo you to download and preview at home. We'd encourage you to get your hands on a real-life set by ordering our sample pack, as the colours and texture can't be reproduced digitally - especially when previewing the Fluro and Metallic inks.
