testing stocks.

before printing my book i thought it would be best to test out some stocks to see which would work best with the colour theme running through the book, and which stock would hold the ink best when printing.

sugar paper

pear grey

black card

newsprint

antique white

light sandpaper

water paper.

I really liked the colour of the antique white and newprint, both similar colours, liked the way it worked with the black ink, also took the ink from the paper very well very crisp print, however even though the newsprint is cheaper the antique white would be the better stock because it is slightly thicker thus would be more durable within a book.

The water paper was the worst, it didnt seem to take the ink from the at all well, came out with a blotchy print.
