Why we print the programme

Every Oddfield programme is printed on a press in Zwolle before it goes online. A short note on why we still bother, and what it costs.

WORDS BY

Sanne de Wit

The first Oddfield programme was a single sheet, folded twice, printed on the morning of the event. We have printed one every year since, and the website is built from the same file.

Printing forces decisions. A session that won't fit on the sheet doesn't get a smaller font; it gets a shorter title. By the time we go to press, every word has been argued over at least once.

This year's programme is 32 pages on uncoated paper, run of 3,000. Every ticket holder gets one at the door, and the leftovers go to the art academy's library.
