Welcome to our factory tour!
This tour will take you behind the scenes and show you some valuable materials!
Here are some highlights from the Capcom main art catalogue!
A finish that utilizes the best of printing technology
The cover has a chic and solid feel, befitting a book that has been binding together 40 years of history. The text is metallic and embossed, while the rest of the background is pointillized, creating a leather-like texture despite being made of paper.
The letter "C," which stands for "CAPCOM," sits in the center of the cover, and inside it are selected titles from the collection, with the blue metallic finish subtly yet boldly embellishing the names of Capcom's masterpieces.
The evolution of the design is revealed on a factory tour!
Looking back on Capcom's 40 years, with roughly 300 pages of main art
Includes many other main art from popular titles!
Surprisingly, there were " No objections! " to the cover edit!
With a large number of samples in front of them, the staff were all amazed at the advances being made in printing technology, and unanimously chose a process that would result in a chic and stylish finish.
Printing is amazing.
I really wanted to see the printing site, so I asked for permission to get some photos. Apparently, there are only a limited number of companies in Japan that can print this kind of work.。

CAPCOM KEY ART CATALOG
A word from the factory manager
In creating the catalog, it was extremely difficult to go through all of the titles that Capcom has released over the past 40 years. In particular, for titles that are no longer part of a series, many of the people involved at the time are no longer around, so we often found ourselves asking "Who should I ask?". With the help of many people both inside and outside the company, we overcame various hurdles and I think we have created a book that can be called "a history book of 40 years of Capcom traced through main art."
