PRINT a PHOTOGRAPHY ZINE OF YOUR LATEST ROAD TRIP at Ex Why Zed

Posted on 31 August 2023

We enjoy Phoenix to San Antonio, the latest photography journal from the awesome @valeriej.bower and @melisduenas

203x152mm Zines
4pp Cover onto 240gsm Uncoated
Matt laminated to the outer
120 inside pages onto 100gsm Uncoated
Four colour print throughout
Trimmed, collated and perfect bound

We pick up the story as they photographically depict their trip from Arizona to Texas capturing all manner of one-off moments on film. Enjoy classic American cars, a healthy dose of signage and the coolest dressed dude you’ve ever seen, all bookended by poetry and creative writing.

We really like the choice of a 240gsm Uncoated cover. It creates a neat spine block and hinges that fall back to the text block easier than a more rigid 300gsm would. Yes, it’s thinner but the more of these snippets we do, the more we’re realising 240/250gsm is a better solution for zines and photobooks.

The 120 inside pages are printed onto 100gsm uncoated which again is slightly lighter than the standard weight which would be 115gsm. However, 100gsm is cheaper to print and each page features full bleed reportage photography documenting their trip across the States.

This is a winning print spec, we like it a lot.
