Actualmente los materiales y los procesos que se eligen en el diseño de un proyecto impreso dependen en gran medida de los plazos y los presupuestos a los que este deba ajustarse. Debido a esto, la industria de la impresion se ha estandarizado extremadamente y, si bien han aparecido gran numero de empresas capaces de ofrecer precios y plazos de entrega muy ajustados, la oferta de materiales, formatos y tecnicas de fabricacion y manipulacion parece haberse limitado en la misma medida. Esta coyuntura no favorece la expansion creativa e incluso resulta sumamente restrictiva a la hora de materializar una idea. Materiales y procesos de impresion pretende familiarizar a los diseñadores con los distintos soportes y tecnicas que es posible utilizar en la elaboracion de cualquier proyecto en el que intervenga la impresion. Casi todos los materiales y metodos de fabricacion que se describen aqui se han utilizado hasta ahora de un modo convencional, pero nunca se han analizado a fondo sus caracteristicas y su aplicacion en proyectos concretos. Ademas de dicho analisis, este libro incluye una seleccion de proyectos fundamentales cuya ejecucion demuestra una especial maestria en la aplicacion de estos conocimientos, lo que resultara de gran ayuda para la inspiracion de los diseñadores.
