Correction: the Fathom Street sleeve credits We credited the wrong printer on a piece about a record sleeve. The correct credit and what we did about it.
How a riso sleeve gets made Two inks, a drum that jams, a sixty-copy run, and a printer who will tell you at the outset which of your two colours is going to be wrong.
The Fathom Street sleeve, start to finish One photograph, taken on the wrong night, and eleven weeks of arguing about how much of it to keep. The designer kept a record of every version and let us print it.
In praise of the inner bag The cheapest component in the package is the one that decides whether the record still plays in twenty years, and almost nobody spends anything on it.
Type on a twelve-inch A record sleeve is read at two distances and almost nobody designs for the second one. What happens to a typeface at three feet in a rack.
