As a print-based designer myself, I always find it greatly beneficial visiting commercial printers. Not only does it allow you to see the possibilities of print and provide inspiration, but also provides insight into the printing process, the knowledge of which makes the design process more informed and easily understood. By increasing awareness of printing processes, the possibilities and limitations of print are made increasingly apparent which subsequently allows myself as a designer to generate ideas that are achievable.
