About this piece

"Navigation Guide to Print Finishing"

Ahoy Matey, so you say you wouldn’t know your port side from your counter or your starboard side from your heated die? When it comes to print finishing techniques do you feel like you are up a creek navigating without a rudder?

            Here’s the deal.  The judges were wrong, last year.  They thought they had seen the best ever use of finishing techniques.  That was then, this is WOW!  The Navigation Guide to Print Finishing produced by first time MAL entrant DL’s Diecutting provides a depth chart of understanding the varied applications of finishing that even Mark Twain would love.  Whether you are bedeviled by bevels, or flummoxed by foils (again), the Guidebook should become a trusty reference work with all the answers to finely finishing the craziest creations of the most diabolical designers.

            The judges hoist their sextants in awe – The Navigation Guide to Print Finishing is the perfect winner of the Independent Machinery Best Finishing Techniques Award.
