For this reason, I printed my menu out onto 3 different stocks:
- Cartridge Paper
- Antique White
- Textured Watercolour Stock
One issue I realised was the border I intended on using. You can see below that since they were on the edge of an A4 document, they had to be resized. I decided I did not want this to compromise the sizing of my body copy, and decided to remove it.
I decided that the most successful stock was the textured watercolour. The text did not bleed (like I thought it would), and the end product seems to be as sophisticated as I would hope for, working perfectly for my target audience.
I also printed my receipts on bulky newsprint. I found this to be very successful, and exactly what I was looking for.
