Magazines & Booklets

Any quantity can now be produced using standard or custom sizes. If starting on such a project contact us and determine the best size for economy and impact. Colours range from one colour to full color photographic quality.

Help With Setup

  • Photos need to be scanned to at least 300dpi in CMYK colour on a quality scanner for best results.

  • Avoid screen (computer monitor) resolution images and images copied from the internet.

  • Bleed is the area of a printed job that will be trimmed off. Orders are printed on a sheet larger than the finished size will be. Bleed is used where images or colour prints off the edge of the sheet.

  • Orders need to have 3mm of bleed, so a document ends up larger by 6mm in each direction.

  • The margin is the opposite direction. Keep all ‘live’ material in from edge by about 8mm (being 5mm margin and 3mm of bleed). This will depend on the actual job size eg: margins on a business card will be less than a poster.

  • We’ve been doing this since 1985, so we know all the shortcuts that save you time and money.

  • If starting a larger project such as a booklet or magazine, it may be useful to get some advice even before starting, in order to avoid reworking later.
