So . . . here it is! Our hugely popular Little Black Book.
This FREE handy little guide is a MUST for print designers.
Printing blacks, especially in solid areas, is still very ‘in’ but there are right and wrong ways to produce them well. Our LITTLE BLACK BOOK is THE ONLY guide available that will show you how!
Including samples of black mixes on both COATED and UNCOATED stocks, this very useful tool has received fantastic reviews:
” The Little Black Book has become a vital tool when it comes to producing print work. It is invaluable to see just how different mixes of black really look on paper. The book is worth it’s weight in (black) gold.” One2Create
” The Little Black Book has proven to be an invaluable reference tool on several projects. It now sits proudly next to our pantone swatch books.” Bond & Coyne Associates
Are you a Print Designer working in the SOUTH of ENGLAND ?? Would you like a FREE copy??
Please get in contact to find out how . . .
This really is a great little tool – you will find it very useful.

Hi,
I would love to get a copy of this book as blacks have caused many an issue in the past and it would be absolutely brilliant to have this sort of practical reference.
Please let me know if this would be possible.
Kind regards
Stuart
Hi Stuart – You are very welcome to a copy – this will certainly help clear up any issues. It needs a little explanation though, so I will need to drop in with one. This will also give us an opportunity to have a quick chat and I would love to show you some more of our interesting and creative print work. If this is OK, perhaps we could arrange this the week after next when I will be close by. Hope to hear back from you.
Regards
ChrisP
Hello Chris
I would love one of these little books, it’s something that regularly comes up in the studio. How do we get hold of one?
Ian / Lekker Design
Hi Ian. No problem, I know you’ll find this useful. Will be in contact very soon. It needs a little explanation . . .

Hi Simon . . . thanks for your comments. Our LBB is indeed receiving great praise, i am sure you will find this handy.
It does need a little explanation so best I drop one in to you if you are in the South of the UK??
please let me know. Best . . . chris@dayfold.com
Looks superb, Chris.
I arrived here via the WeMadeThis blog, and would love a copy (but I’m in Edinburgh, so if that’s too far afield, no worries at all).
Great job.
Hey David, nice to hear from you. Our LBB is indeed receiving great praise, i am sure you will find this handy.

Came across this through a tweet of David Airey. Looks really good. May I ask, ifI have a chance to order/get it from Germany? Really interested.
For some reason my first reply doesn’t show up.
I learned about the Black Book from a tweet from David Airey and would love to have one. I’m from Germany if that’s not to much of a trouble.
Thanks

weili from singapore
I arrived here via twitter via wemadethis, this looks like such a great little book, I would use this everyday! Problem is I’m a little more south than London, but do have contacts in London. Is there any chance of getting one?
Many thanks
Jacque
Hi,
Any chances to ship this to Macedonia? I would pay for some standard regular shipping.
Thanks in advance.
I would like to have one free book. I live in London. Thanks
Hi Ryanna
Thanks for your interest in our LBB.
Where about in London are you . . . Do you have a website?
The book needs a little explanation so it would be best if I drop a copy into you. If you design for print, you will certainly find this useful.
This will give us an opportunity to have a brief chat as I would like to learn more about you and your work and explain about the really interesting work we do.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards

Hello,
needless to say this looks really amazing and extremely helpful.
I am currently in Greece but have been in London for sometime and I still keep in touch with clients over there.
I was wondering if there is any chance of posting one to my greek address since I think it will be very helpful.
Even if you can not do this, I still have to thank you for your great work!
Take care,
Panos
Hey Panos
Great to hear from you . . . thanks for your interest in our Little Black Book!
These little beauties are really going down well, I am pretty sure you would find one useful.
We have only really been pushing this in the UK (in particular the South of the UK) because it is a great way to ‘get one’s foot in the door’, and hence them being ‘Free’ in the UK!!
However, I am sure this will change soon – we really have had an amazing global response . . . there is going to have to be a charge though to cover packing and shipping etc.
This hasn’t been finalised yet but I will certainly keep you posted. . .
Meantime, please keep in touch and maybe subscribe to our blog to keep up-to-speed with what we’re up to!!
Hope all is well with you!!
Best

Hi, wonderful book, found you on we made this and followed you here. Glad I did. I am an A level teacher of Graphic Design and part time illustrator and would so love to be able to use your book to give my students greater understanding of printing and the use of black in their own work……and for me for mine. 🙂 Thank you if you can send us one.
Hello Liz. Thanks for your interest in our LBB! Sure, you’d be very welcome to a copy. It does need an explanation so i will email you directly . . . best. ChrisP
Thanks Chris, I shall look forward to it.
Liz.
This little black book would be so useful! Unfortunately I live in California. Any way to get it across the Atlantic?
Cheers
Hey Katy!
Hopefully, we will be able to ship these handy little beauties to the US.
I’ll add you to the list and let you know when and where.
Thanks for your interest!

Hello Chris,
What a wonderful guide The Little Black Book! I’m living and studying in Barcelona. It would be an mazing tool to have. I’m an interior design student in IED. It would solve so many problems with printing. Is there a chance to get them here in Spain?
Thanks
Polina
Seconded! Please let a fella know if these come over. Thanks…
Oooooooo.
There’s a list for those of us well outside the southern UK who want to run our grubby fingers all over this wonderful looking little black book? Count me in, please!
Yes! The book looks incredible. Please add me to the list of contacts for when it hits the states.
Very interested here in Florida!
Hello

I am a lecturer in graphics at a little provicial college in cambridgeshire, uk and I would love to be able to have a copy of your black book to help explain some of the printing techniques and the problems encountered with certain colour combinations.
be great if you can help many thanks
Paul
Hey Paul. Nice to hear from you . . . I will be happy to send a copy to you. We have just made up a good few more so if you can let me have your contact details, I will post a copy to you. It does need a bit of an explanation so i do prefer to meet up so we can discuss but as you are a little out of my area, I will send one and perhaps we could discuss on the phone once you have it? Thanks for your interest, I am sure you will find this helpful. ChrisP
Hi All
I am really sorry that I have not come back to some of you.
As you can imagine, these little beauties have gone down really well and it’s taking a while to get round to replying.
Please bear with us.
For those of you that are not in the South of the UK, the Little Black Books will be available via eBay very soon.
Thank you for your patience.
Best wishes
ChrisP
Hi Chris,
Are there any of these books left? Looks quite handy.
Thanks.
Roland.

Yes we have a few – I’m sure you’ll find a copy handy. My collegue Alan looks after the Swindon area . . . I’ve asked him to make contact to drop in a copy . . .
Thanks for visiting!

Hi there,
Sounds like I need to be in on this little black book – I have a client who smothers everything in black.
I’m an ex-repro guy but a little rusty.
Are there any left?
thanks
Stephen

Hi Dayfold!
Are there any LBB left? They sound awesome, and I’ve got a job coming up with so much black I’m slightly freaking out about it.
Thanks!
