Many commercial print projects require printing choices that you don’t have on your desktop printer; you can acquire your publication to a commercial printer to reprint your work on an offset printing press or a high-quality digital printer.

Discuss the project with a commercial printer

Before you start your project, explain your project, your goals, and find out your printer’s requirements.

Before creating your publication, discuss the following:

•    Ask what type of information your publisher allows. If you can’t locate an industrial printer who does (?), you can ask about further ways to put forward your publication for printing. Most commercial printers accept PostScript or PDF format, and will provide instructions on how to print this information from your publication.

•    Tell the printer about your project’s printing needs, for example quantity, quality, paper inventory, paper size, recommended a color model, binding, foldable, cutting, budget, quality limitations, and deadlines. Always ask if the printer has the items that you want in inventory.

•    Let the printer know whether your publication will include examined pictures, and if so, whether you will check out them yourself or have an industrial printer or service bureau check out them.

•    Ask whether there will be any pre-press tasks, such as capturing and page imposition.

•    Ask for any recommendations that can conserve your funds.

Choose a color model early

If you spend a lot of time developing your publication, decide whether you want to print your publication in the shade. If you print your publication to a high-quality electronic shade printer, you don’t need to worry about shade. Digital shade photo printers perfectly reprint millions of colors. If you plan to print your publication on a balanced out printing media, you have several color-model options.

Offset printing needed that a commercial media owner installation and run the print job. Every ink that is needed to print the publication needs more installation for the owner and boosts the cost. The number of ink that you need depends on the shade design that you select.

When you set up printing in shade for your publication, you can select from the following shade models:

•    Process plus spot colors

•    Single color

•    Process colors (CMYK)

•    Any color (RGB)

•    Spot colors

Make sure that your publication pages are the correct size

Before you print your publication, you should decide what size you want the complete product to be. Be certain to consult your commercial check printer. If you want to print several small items like bank cards, on a single letter-sized (8.5 inches wide x 11 inches) sheet, set your publication page size to be the sizes of the bank cards (2 inches wide x 3.5 inches wide for company cards), not the sizes of the paper that you will print them on.

Allow for bleeds

A bleed is where the element expands off the publication page. If you have elements in your publication that you want to print to the advantage of the page, then set these up as will bleeds. The publication is printed to a paper size that is bigger than the completed page size and then trimmed. Bleeds are necessary because of most printers, including offset printing presses, cannot print to the advantage of the paper, and cutting the paper may leave a slim, white, unprinted advantage.

Avoid using synthetic font styles

Fonts are typically designed with different create designs to signify modifications in the font. For example, the font Times New Roman is four fonts:

•    Times New Roman Bold

•    Times New Roman

•    Times New Roman Italic

•    Times New Roman Bold Italic

Most PC photo printers produce artificial font designs as expected, but high-end create devices, such as picture setters, usually do not. Make sure that you do not have any artificial font designs in your publication when you hand it off to your commercial printer.

Avoid using tints for text at small font sizes

If shaded text is at a small typeface size, use shades that are strong spot shade ink or shades that can be made up with a mixture of strong process color ink. Avoid using a shade of shade.

Publisher printing shades as a display, or amount, of a strong ink shade. When considered close-up, the display appears as a design of spots.

Size digital photos and scanned images appropriately

Designs that are printed by a paint system, a checking system, or a digital cam are made up of lines of in different way colored pieces called p. The more p a graphic has, the more detail it shows.

The quality of an image is indicated by p per inch (PPI). Every image has a limited number of p. Climbing an image larger cuts down on quality (fewer PPI). Climbing image smaller boosts the quality (more PPI).
