Juicing it Up Splashy ads often feature color. This is brand new, made possible by advances in color printing techniques that are still being developed. But color illustrations lose quality when printed on existing equipment. For this reason, color is mostly reserved for magazine covers (inside and out, front and back) and posters, which are printed separately, on better paper, with the best equipment. Advertisers actually prefer less expensive black-and-white for most advertising, since it reproduces better on the printed page. | |||||||||
