I had 20 sheets of different paper with a few ideas of how I would like to try out my images. Firstly was to have them printed onto coloured paper, I used GF smith Aztec blue to try this out. I used one image with white space one in black and white and one normal. What I found was the outcome had a great authentic to it however it really Dulled down the images. This is not what I was looking for I want something that really jumped out the paper to people. Although from this test I did find I much preferred the leaflet with white space I found it have it a much more professional look and feel while drawing attention to the image. I then tested on normal white paper my problem with this was I just felt it was to clean smoking is dirty with it comes tar and chemicals I wanted something to represent that at least. As the images do not I though the paper could this is when I decided to use a off white paper from GF smith. Its called pike and has a waxy effect I found this fitted the bill perfectly as it was slightly gritty and off white which reflects ciggerrete however as I ordered these as samples I only had one pieces and managed to completely mess up the print. As I opened the tray to first test on normal paper it began to print and printed off. This was a real shame and a pain because it was the only sheet I have. Fortunately I have a few more but of different weight and colour so I have had to re chose my paper. I am going to have it printed onto accent smooth - natural - 270gsm this paper is a nice off white but has not got the waxy feel although it is much thicker compared to the 170gsm this will have a much firmer finish but the worry is it may not fit well into the ciggerrete packets. My second chose is phoenixmotion this has a similar feel to pike but is a bright white colour when compared I would rather the natural coloured paper but will see when printed. Final I have coloured papers again but this time in much paler colours, cool blue, powder green and candy pink As next time the printers used will be much higher quality so I am hopeing for a much better finish. Then with these final resolutions I shal pick and fold the three chosen ones.
