Question

How does editorial printing differ from standard commercial printing?

Answer

Editorial printing centers on publications where layout, type, and image reproduction carry the work, while general commercial printing covers everyday marketing pieces.

  • Typical editorial output is magazines, catalogs, zines, and art books
  • Tactile, uncoated, and specialty papers are chosen on purpose
  • Finishes like spot UV and foil stamping add craft to covers and features
  • Color is calibrated carefully to protect the integrity of the imagery
