We decided to create an inside house publication instead of going through the Newspaper club so we had to manage our own printing. With the help of the pagination lecture Ben gave us previously we were able to print off the actual zine quite easily however within the zine there are 2 pages that consist of designs printed onto transparent paper, this caused a few problems. Amy and Alex collaborated to create these great designs, we wanted them to be on transparent paper so that the pattern of sweets and pills featured on the other side (inside) of the front and back cover would be visible. The main difficulty with the printing was that the laser printers in the art school couldn't process the job because the transparent paper was too thin thus causing it to overheat. After wasting a lot of print credits on these print outs that went wrong Amy had to use her small printer at home that managed to print off these designs successfully with all the colours in tact.
