Books and brochures, then and now

Behind the Scenes of Print Production.

Despite numerous digital media, analog reading is on the rise again, and print products are experiencing a new appreciation. Through Volume 90 "Nature and Environment," you will gain exciting insights into the entire production process – from digital prepress to the finished printed product. Norman Hecht and Marco Resch explain how color, paper, and technology work together perfectly to create high-quality products. At the same time, environmental considerations are playing an increasingly important role in the printing industry. Modern technology and practiced sustainability – how does this symbiosis work? What substances does the printing process leave in the water and air – and what traces do the finished products carry out into the world? Following in Gutenberg's footsteps, you will discover in the printing room the transformation from traditional typesetting to state-of-the-art digital printing technology – a journey through 600 years of printing history.
