How to Get Your Booklet Ready for Printing

One spends a lot of time for writing a booklet but is it time to bring your creation to the world? Before you actually embark on the printing process one needs to sort out some parts:

Getting print bids
One should get several print bids before thinking of printing the booklet. There are many who would be interested in printing your booklet but you should be sure that the pricing is good. You can even get them printed in different languages but keeping the design same. Bulk printing charges are cheaper so always opt for those printers who are willing to cut down on the charges per print copy. Ask for the right quotes depending on the quality of paper you wish to use. Always examine the quality of the paper that they are recommending for printing purposes.

Use the same specifications for each of the bids, including the title of book, quantity, the size and the number of colours for the cover page and throughout the booklet. Determine the page count depending on what you want printed and even some stock and cover finish for the booklet. Booklets are usually printed on hard soft cover but you can opt for hard cover if you want it for your high profile clients. Keep a close eye on the type of binding that the printers are using, the packaging material, the transport and logistics that they prefer and other things.

Design of the cover
People really are impressed by a book because of its cover. A professional cover lends immense credibility and sophistication. For businesses if the brand is not well known, one needs to have a striking design, and innovative graphics, along with vibrant colours to make a statement.

An attention-grabbing title is also part of the cover design. Meet your friends and colleagues for a brainstorming session and focus on the content and marketing part.

Do not forget to request an ISBN number bar code for the back cover if you are writing a booklet for the external audience. This allows book stalls and owners to scan through the information about the booklet and scan their inventory system for sales tracking. Most bookstores rely on ISBN number for the sale.

Visualize your cover on the lines of the idea that you have thought about. Bring all elements including graphics and color together for promoting your services. Professional designers should be relied upon for the same.

Design of text pages
If you plan to design the layout of the book yourself, depending on the branding of the company then you should be sure of the printing specifications. Scan drawings, and clip arts for the page layout. Combine the content in a file and print it after using the pdf extension.

Preparing files
You should be sure of the technical specifications before printing the files. The fonts, graphic file formats, along with graphics resolution are important elements.

Proofing and printing
It’s essential to carefully proof read and edit your booklet before the disk is sent to the printer. Eliminate typos and irregular punctuation marks along with orphans. Making corrections to the file after the plate is made, makes the process expensive.
