Final Monday focusing on one of our five basic tips for prepress! Tip #5 - Formatting all text in pure black (C:0% M:0% Y:0% K:100%) allows us to use a single printing plate for text. That means text comes out as sharp and easy to read as possible.

Happy Friday! We can't get enough of Dux Somnium's Endearment Jewelry Box Edition. Projects like this remind us that premium manufacturing is about more than beautiful components; it's about creating an unforgettable experience from the moment the box is opened. Enjoy a few more close-up looks...

A decorative gold-colored metal portrait frame from Endearment displays an illustrated Regency-era woman seated beside a dog. Two additional portrait cards appear softly out of focus behind it, highlighting the game's ornate metal components and classic Jane Austen-inspired artwork.

Close-up of four detailed metal bust pawns from Endearment, each sculpted as a Regency-era character with unique finishes in silver, bronze, antique gold, and copper. The figures stand on the game board with a softly blurred background, highlighting the craftsmanship and premium component quality.

A stack of colorful acrylic trait tokens from Endearment fills the background while one rose-colored token is held in sharp focus in the foreground. The translucent token features a white silhouette portrait of a Regency-era woman, showcasing the game's premium acrylic components and elegant visual design.

The Endearment Jewelry Box Edition opened to reveal a custom faux-suede organizer. Compartments neatly hold decks of illustrated cards, a player board with numbered scoring track, and game components inside a blue faux-leather jewelry box. The elegant storage system showcases the premium presentation and collector-focused design.
