Having mocked up a rough lab design, I began making test prints. I found that the textures I had layered onto the label was not showing up when printed. The overall effect was quite considerable. The untextured print lacked depth and didn't connote the rustic look that I was needed. The texture is needed to make the label look handprinted. Ideally the label would be screen printed, but due to the timeframe I have to print.
Eventually, tweaking the settings and choosing a textured stock helped create a more hand rendered look.
