A paint manufacturer will send you a fandeck with very accurately representative color samples of all of its colors. Figure one sample per photo slot as seen in the product mentioned in the above article. Having a handy, travel-size book with all of the available colors lets you compare them to a sample of just about any other materials, or even other colors with the book itself. The fact that it's long lets you bend over the 'page' to lay one sample atop another in the book. Usually, both sides of each 'page' are printed on to save space. A fandeck proofbook would be a much better size for client to carry around than a 8 1/2" x 11" book. You wouldn't have to flip pages to compare pictures. You could even bend pages to do a side-by-side comparison. I am totally going home tonight and setting up an Aperture preset book with metadata text inserts and page numbers for one of these. If you drop $150 or so for a guillotine cutter on ebay and some more for mounting products, you could be cranking these out in short order. A drill press might be helpful, and office suppliers should carry steel shafts for the 'hinge' of the book. I use them with thick sets of plans all the time.

They might actually WANT to buy that. I don’t know about you, but I just found a new way to give proofs to clients: the fandeck proofbook! They might actually WANT to buy that.
