SPINATH+WAKKIE




We've been busy with this identity for a small and very exclusive business consulting firm. We went on a field trip to Rotterdam this morning to a printer where they where working on the SPINATH+WAKKIE identity. They are one of two printers in Holland where they still do very old-fashioned engraved printing on a pre-WW1 machine. It takes about 6 weeks to make the hand-engraved plates used for the printing, the ink needs several days to dry. The effect is a feeling of very high quality and a very rich black print, almost impossible to match with other printing techniques. When it's dry we'll have some more examples...
