<p class="has-drop-cap">In the grand spectrum of printing methods, digital printing is the newest at the table — so its possibilities are still being processed (so to speak). Coming to the rescue is <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Mohawk (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.mohawkconnects.com/" target="_blank">Mohawk</a>’s A Maker’s Field Guide to Digital Materials and Digital Processes. </p>

<p>It&#8217;s the latest in an ongoing series of comprehensive, printed guides created to inspire and educate designers, their clients and printers about the importance of choosing the right materials and right process for print — and like the best printed pieces, it&#8217;s full of wonder, with more than a few surprises tucked between its thick covers.</p>

<p>Chris Harrold, Mohawk&#8217;s Sr.Vice President, Marketing &; Creative, underscored that “this edition should prove that digital printing is no longer a compromise, but a sophisticated, agile means to produce beautiful print.”</p>

<p>Created by Hybrid Design of San Francisco, the Field Guide is a visual, tactile demonstration of the flexibility of the latest digital printing presses using both paper and non-paper materials. The below offers a glimpse into Mohawk Synthetic Premium Polyester, in royal blue, as well as magnetic semi gloss paper, right behind it! All are readily available from Mohawk.</p>

<p>Through vivid, exquisite examples, the 71-page guide is in and of itself a compelling argument that digital printing is <em>the</em> printing method of our time. It speaks to the demands of today&#8217;s faster timelines and the seemingly never-ending quest for collaboration and personalization, punctuated by the consumer&#8217;s ever-climbing expectations for beauty combined with function. Twenty-two different digitally printed bring this idea to life within three sections. The first, Introduction / Make Good Great, delves into the ideal harmonious relationship between ideas, materials and process.</p>

<p>The below demonstrates the top three digital print techniques.</p>

<p>The next section, Printed Samples / Materials with Purpose, delves into six sample projects, each suggesting how to use paper in combination with a specialty or a synthetic material. A range of printing techniques, from simple single color to wide format inkjet as well as high fidelity, full color printing, demonstrate just how far the medium has evolved — and what possibilities it holds. </p><div class="inline-post clearfix"><div class="see-also byline">See also</div><div id="block-wrap-67919" class="block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-67919 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-3 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix" data-id="67919" data-base="0"><div class="tipi-row-inner-style clearfix"><div class="tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap"><div class="block block-23 clearfix"><article class="tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-3 post-23349 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-favorites category-sponsored-post tag-keaykolour-papers tag-color tag-design tag-hybrid-design tag-materials tag-mohawk tag-mohawk-maker-quarterly tag-paper tag-sarah-schwartz tag-the-paper-chronicles tag-werners-nomenclature-of-colours" style="--animation-order:0"><div class="preview-mini-wrap clearfix"><div class="mask"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/mohawk-maker-quarterly-15-its-all-in-the-materials/" class="mask-img"><img width="100" height="100" src="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/MOH_MMQ15_12.jpg?resize=100%2C100&;ssl=1" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/MOH_MMQ15_12.jpg?resize=150%2C150&;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/MOH_MMQ15_12.jpg?resize=200%2C200&;ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/MOH_MMQ15_12.jpg?resize=293%2C293&;ssl=1 293w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/MOH_MMQ15_12.jpg?resize=75%2C75&;ssl=1 75w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/MOH_MMQ15_12.jpg?resize=390%2C390&;ssl=1 390w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/MOH_MMQ15_12.jpg?resize=24%2C24&;ssl=1 24w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/MOH_MMQ15_12.jpg?resize=48%2C48&;ssl=1 48w, https://i0.wp.com/thepapernerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/MOH_MMQ15_12.jpg?resize=96%2C96&;ssl=1 96w" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a></div><div class="meta"><div class="byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-4"><div class="byline-part cats"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/category/favorites/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Favorites</a><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/category/sponsored-post/" style="color:#b79b0d" class="cat">Sponsored</a></div></div><div class="title-wrap"><h3 class="title"><a href="https://thepapernerd.com/mohawk-maker-quarterly-15-its-all-in-the-materials/">Mohawk Maker Quarterly #15: It&#8217;s all in the Materials!</a></h3></div><div class="byline byline-3"><span class="byline-part date"><i class="tipi-i-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> <time class="entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date" datetime="2018-11-13T14:35:55+00:00">November 13, 2018</time></span><span class="byline-part likes-count"><a href="#" class="tipi-like-count " data-pid="23349"><span class="likes-heart"><i class="tipi-i-heart-o" aria-hidden="true"></i><i class="tipi-i-heart" aria-hidden="true"></i></span><span class="tipi-value">0</span></a></span></div></div></div></article></div></div></div></div></div></tipimidc>
