From the reviews: "All you ever wanted...a new standard reference
for the graphic arts..." (Printing World)
"...it is a large, solid item...It is hard to imagine anyone
connected to the graphic arts industry not finding a use for this
book. It covers just about every aspect of production, from design
through to finishing... I couldn't find fault with any of the
technical explanations - hardly surprising, given the list of
people who contributed to it... There are excellent diagrams
throughout, and each section is rounded off by a look at the
available products..." (Electronic Imaging, March 2002) "The
mammoth publication, which is destined to become the standard
reference book for the industry, is the brainchild of Dr Helmut
Kipphan … . For anyone with a genuine interest in the scope and
breadth of the industry the Handbook of Print Media will prove to
be an invaluable companion. It combines esoteric technical
information … with a practical commercial eye on the development
and trends of printing markets. On both counts it is likely to
become the bible for managers when confronting the future."
