Questions About Your Project
To narrow the choices of faces for a printed project, here are questions to ask yourself. The questions are not ranked in order of importance —each one is a critical consideration.
What is your output printer resolution:
Low (72–144 dots per inch; this would have to be a very old printer), Medium (300–600 dpi), or High-resolution imagesetter (1270–2540 dpi)?
Are you going straight through a fax machine (consider it low resolution)?
What will be the final reproduction method:
Copy machine, quick press, high-quality press?
On what kind of paper will you be reproducing the project:
Newsprint, cheap bond, textured stock, glossy stock, fax paper?
