Sometimes it can be hard to print booklets, especially if you are doing it yourself. The basic trick though really is to make your booklet printing draft easier to print with the proper settings. You should not be bothered with trying to fix things physically using your booklet printer. The settings must be already right in the digital draft itself to make things easier and faster. In this article, I will teach you how to make your drafts easier to print for booklet printing. †Use specialized software features for books/booklets †You might not know about it yet but there are actually specialized features in word processing software that help the book or booklet writer with printing settings. Yes! This specialized software features automatically set chapters, sections, and most crucially the important margin specifications for the left and right pages for each booklet page. Just look for this feature in your word processor documentation. Usually this is in the format options or wizards for easier use. †Use templates when available †If software features are just a bit technical for your brain, don't worry, you can just turn to templates. Templates are great for booklet printing since they already have pre-set pages with the correct format settings and guidelines for printing. All that is really need to be done is to place in the content and the whole thing is ready for printing. Try to download booklet templates from online booklet printing companies to get the best ones that are ideal for printing. †Do not forget to add guidelines †Now, those wizards and templates aside, you should always remember to not forget your guidelines. Guidelines help you place your booklet design elements where they are suppose to be without skewing or skewing the form of the layout. This is especially true in booklet pages where leeway must be given in certain areas where the binding might make it hard for people to read some elements. So place those margins and guidelines so that you won't have any trouble when printing comes. †Do not forget to add bleeds †Finally, do not forget to add printing bleeds. This is especially important to the cover of your color booklets. Printing bleeds gives that much needed space in the design margins for the cutting and binding of the booklet. With the bleeds, any discrepancies in the cutting will not really be noticed since the layout extends a little bit beyond the set parameters. Most templates should already have this built in, but if not, you should try and add it if applicable. So that is how you make your digital draft for booklet printing easier to print. Just remember the steps above and there should be little problems in producing your booklets. Whether you print them yourself or you let a printing company do it, there will be no difficulties.
