PRINTING  TIPS

 

• Works best if you save the Front and Back files or Combined Image File onto your computer’s hard drive.   (although this is not required.)
 

• Open the downloaded files with Free Adobe Reader and print from there as this makes it possible to control the important variables below in the printing process.  This process will also retain font specifications which can become distorted when printing straight from your browser.

• Works best if you use a printer that prints on both sides of a single sheet.

Select : “Flip on Short Edge”
“Shrink to  FIT”   when printing.

Otherwise, consider printing the second side by feeding the printer ONE page at a time to prevent pages from sticking together and ruining them all.

• Some printers will automatically shrink this page to 94% of the original size which is ideal for good margins.

• Each page will have three panels.  There is a small black spec in the left panel on the back page. It is near the top on the right side of the first, or left, panel.   Use this to align the right side of the page when making the first fold.

 

Print  PDF  files in Landscape mode, NOT Portrait.
Select   "Fit"  or  "Shrink to Fit"  (about 94% of original size)  in  Page Setup or in Printer Properties.

If Printing Combined images (Front and Back at same time)  Click on  "Flip on Short Edge"

Use Heavier paper as this eliminates two or more pages going into the printer at same time and wasting ink.  I prefer 28 LB paper  as this makes for a sturdy pamphlet.
