Ditto Press bring design to life on Microsoft Surface Pro 3
Vivek Vadoliya

Inspired by a mixture of psychedelic art works and skate culture, the Print Techniques swatch features an ‘inky ghost’ loosely resembling the D in the new Ditto Press logo.

During the project the Surface Pro 3 made Jiro Bevis’ drawing part quick and easy; the problems arose when it came to actually printing.

Ben Freeman had to enter unchartered print territory; sticking different paper types together with various foil and deboss, and working out which inks to overlay took days to figure out - the longest he has ever spent on one print.
