Suggestions Newsprint media

[craigwojo]

Need to make a newspaper front page for a client and really don't know how this can be done. It's going to be dated (kinda worn) and printed on one side. It will be put in a frame and matted. What material should I order and where.

I have a Roland RE-640 with eco-solvent inks.

Thank you and God bless,
Craig

Not sure on the material, but for the artwork you can use vector brushes and effects from retrosupply.co

You could see about real news print from your local news paper around here they sell end rolls of it

Used to work for a printing company and that's all they did was print newspapers. They used to give away their butt rolls to pretty much anyone who asked for them.

Just grab a pad of newsprint from your local art supply store. They come is sizes like 18"x24" and 24"x36". I would recommend getting the 24"x36", pull out a few loose sheets and run them through your printer as single sheets. Having printed on newsprint with a Roland (EcolSol inks), I can tell you it will give you that vintage look you are going for- the rough newsprint makes the inkes very muted and faded looking. Just FYI, they will need to dry for quite a bit longer than you are used to.
