Re-evaluate traditional symbols
Simplify symbol families

Relief shading a vital visual component balance with other components essential specially produced by Geographx 20m pixel: typically… flat areas 10C, 7Y, 7M, 0K deep shadow 40C, 30M, 25Y, 4K result is a clear legible image

Black relief difficulties: Difficult balance between relief and text Conflict with area tints, lines and text Gloomy or muddy appearance of map
CMY no K relief advantages: Managed balance between relief and text Managed discrimination between elements Clean map image with increased legibility

Offset printing ‘printing’ is not just printing new technology is amazing design to the machine capabilities printer uses Heidelberg and HP Indigo
Paper ‘paper’ is not just paper useful to know the paper’s characteristics two-sided surface differences 94gsm high-wet-strength and 113gsm Sumo
