I've been (gladly) thrown into the world of print production and am honestly at the initial point where I just feel as if I'm digging holes in water. I'm researching what form of printing, or specifically what printing process (offset, digital, etc.) yields the absolute best quality for an art magazine (run of 5,000-10,00) on high-gloss paper. Along the lines of FMR (best quality magazine i've ever seen, though Italian and virtually unknown over here), Communication Arts, or some of Aperture's high gloss releases. Any where I turn on-line, there seems to be vast contradictions and no real definitive answer. Basically, if you were looking to attempt to create a gorgeous art magazine where definition and color quality concerning full page spreads was utterly essential and cost was not an issue...what process would you look to use? I know it's a pretty dang vague question...but I have to start somewhere. And to tack on another question...probably best for another thread...what paper stock would you choose?
