Two new publications launched in tandem with Marks and Spencer's new Lifestore retail venture both use paper from M-real, one of Europe's leading suppliers of fine papers for publishing and graphics.
Wood Free Uncoated Paper's New Presentation
M-real has released a new swatch book, case study and product folder for its Tauro range of wood free, white uncoated paper.
The publication combines the topicality of a magazine with the permanence of a book.
To achieve the production quality of something worth keeping on a bookshelf, the choice of paper for the magazine was paramount.
With so much ink on each page, the paper had to be able to hold it well, without compromising the vibrancy of the colours.
The paper also needed a silk finish, rather than a gloss, so that the finished effect is closer to that of a book than of a magazine.
"The paper provides a cleaner, whiter and smoother page to print on and the way it enhances the definition of the photographs has been commented on by many of Eight's readers," commented Jon Levy, editor of Eight.
And he continued: "Aside from the image quality that Galerie Art Silk has brought to Eight, it has made it an object of stunning quality that feels good in your hands.
It essentially gives readers the confidence that they're getting a magazine that looks, reads and feels valuable." Eight magazine won the 'specialist consumer front cover' award at the 2005 magazine design awards, beating off entries from New Statesman, Kew Magazine, Golf Punk and Icon.
The magazine has been running for four years and the fifth volume will be launched in May.
