You will learn:
🤩 The advantages of print over digital.
🤩 The differences between readability and legibility.
🤯 The right font sizes & smallest type size you can print (blew my mind).
🤩 How to avoid beginners mistakes in prepress.
🤩 How to best print gray text?
🤩 Accessibility is also a topic that comes up quite a lot during this talk.
