Artbook

Today I tried to make the best of a bad job, so I printed the pictures for my artbook using an ordinary laser printer. The picture on the cover is done in screenprinting though. It's the only thing I didn't mess up during the printing process, so I didn't want to throw the covers away.
The booklet is about 21 x 29,7 cm, the cover is printed with white acrylic paint on black cardboard. I bound them myself (I had to ink the sewing thread in the middle of the book black, because otherwise you'd have a white stripe there, which would mess up the whole picture.).










I guess it turned out okay. 
Still I don't like the look of this laser printer crap...the black is too shiny and you don't have that nice embossed feel of an actual screenprint.
Also I only made 4 booklets (of 20) today, because I didn't want to use up the printers whole toner (I already wasted 1/3 of it). 

Well, at least my work wasn't completely for nothing at all.
