A14. Print Reproduction

Five connected studies move print reproduction from direct observation and explanation through controlled experiment, application and critique. Five active studies connect evidence, experiment, application and critique.

Observe → Understand → Experiment → Apply → Critique and record

• Process and Spot Color

  Begin Print Reproduction with process and spot color: observe directly and record the conditions before interpreting the result.

• Separations

  Within Print Reproduction, build a working explanation of separations, keeping the model distinct from the appearance it describes.

• GCR, UCR and Ink Limits

  In Print Reproduction, test gcr, ucr and ink limits by changing one controlled variable and comparing the evidence.

• Substrates and Finishes

  Apply substrates and finishes within Print Reproduction to a practical color decision, preserving both the reasoning and its constraints.

• Contract Proofing

  In Print Reproduction, critique contract proofing against evidence, exceptions and failure conditions before carrying it forward.
