[Closed] Issue 91 stinks

Maybe it's you that stinks?

Ooooohhhhhhh, burn!!

You're right. This months does indeed pong. However: thats the best smell in the world!!!*

* disclaimer: I'm a print designer, and love opening a box of my freshly printed stuff to [i]that[/i] smell 😀

Vegetable ink?

Oooooh, I may just have to pop into WHS for a quick sniff 😛 . Used to love ripping open the new Littlewoods catalogue as a kid to [i]that smell[/i].

Just opened mine as I was away at the weekend. It smell yes, rather pleasant, certainly I don't think mine if overpowering. Certainly not as strong as Privateer did.

Didn't notice my copy smelt at all.

I used to rush to get the Littlewoods catalogue first as well, but that's going a bit off topic... 😳

I thought it was a lovely smell... second only to freshly opened Post-It notes.

Littlewoods catalogue smell is different.
Previous ST issues had that smell.
This issue is like Privateer.

It smells of quality, but it induces headaches for me.

It smells like a magazine to me. 😕

Cash: I would hazard a guess there was a certain section that was well "thumbed"?????

I work from home on my own - I'm allowed to stink.

... and look at Littlewoods catalogues 😀

Keep sniffing mine, but nothing. Guess PDFs don't smell 🙂

I thought scratch & sniff was a thing of the past?

I love the smell!

Doesn't stink on my PC. 😀

Good issue though. Interesting to see what other people think about my local trails (I like their inclusion in the 'international travel' section), and the Highland challenge write-up is ace.

It's a new sheetfed process of printing. Colour reproduction and sharpness is much better and we love the smell too 🙂

It smells amazing. You should do Singletrack car (or bike van) air fresheners that have this smell. Freebie for next month?

Have you tried leaving your mag open in the car?

I think it might obscure my vision a bit too much if I hang it from the mirror.

I'd consider unsubbing if it wasn't for the fact I seem to be paying very little over the cost of a premier online-only sub.

I'll just read it outdoors 🙂

It's a fairly ubiquitous process. We haven't done anything different to how millions of other sheet fed publications are produced. It's a higher quality process but nothing unique to magazines. And we've done it without any increase in costs to readers 🙂

oh not just mine that stinks then did think i was going a bit mad 😀

OP, have you tried seasoning it?

Or maybe a marinade?

I noticed it. I quite like the smell. And Mrs N didn't comment so it can't be that bad.

I'd prefer to pay less money and not have the smell. is there a subscription option for that?

Subscribe to me and I'll send you this ...

I think I detect catalogue readers of a certain age here.

The Kay's catalogue was superior to Littlewood's in 'that' crucial way IMO.

Bloody internet's ruined all that now.........

Singletrack - now using the same printing process as Playboy! 😉

Oooh, I haven't opened mine yet - Should I be doing anything special to get a max +ve from the whiff?

Smells like 'zine spirit.
