A Design Presence: Stock 2 and Printing

After initially ordering the stock from Shepards London, I realised I had ordered the green in two different shades, pistachio and powder, and in two different weights. 

And so I tried to email the company to see if they could help me and change the order, I had no response and the stock came the next day, and so I rang up and asked about the email and returning the stock, but it worked out that sending it back would cost more than the paper itself! 

And so I ordered more of the powder green in 270gsm as I had the 135gsm. I also ordered more natural white in 270gsm, some ebony black, and smoke grey, as the delivery cost is £9.50 so I ordered more this time. 

I am awaiting the delivery of the stock for print. 

I then had to find a method of printing I decided to ring Hobbs (Leeds) to see whether they could print on my stock, they said they can do this but if the printer jams they aren't liable, but they will always do a tester. And it should take around a day or two for everything to be ready for collection, and so I will be doing this as I know the ink/ printer quality will be high. 

I will wait for the stock to come and then take it to Hobbs with the jobs I need printing. 

I also found the colour value of the powder green online so that I could change green that will be printed to the same colour as the stock.
