Creating a beautiful document means combining a variety of elements from a variety of options. To some extent, inkjet printing is just a small step in a complex process where you need to decide a lot of things, while clearly the final quality results are important.
1. Choose the right printing style
Manipulation of a document must be done independently of the preparation of the content of the document. This way, you can focus on what you want to present first, and then decide what the document will look like.
While there are no rigid rules on this side, the most important thing to do is to take into account the object you want to approach: a formal document can not be a good way to attract customers. Invite to your birthday party, and a fun brochure full of fun with a non-serious form will not be appropriate for a medical symposium. Your word processing software probably is a great starting point for combining ideas together.
While technically it is not a suitable design environment, many of these programs are accessible and there are a variety of templates to help you start collecting ideas for everything from sheets. ads to report tables. You can also find more templates online, for example, Microsoft provides a collection of templates through the Microsoft Office support site. If you have a little time and enjoy reading, you There will be no shortage of books and websites offering ideas on how to create all kinds of documents. Just search on Google or Amazon, you will find an endless source of concepts you can draw.
2. Choose a font
When choosing a body font for your document, you should try to capture what the text expresses. For example, Serif fonts are easier to read on paper than Sans-Serif fonts. Similarly, a "handwritten" font like Comic Sans will often result in no good, if you want your document to look like handwriting, keep writing it by hand. The biggest problem you encounter when choosing fonts is that there are too many fonts to choose from.
As a matter of fact, it's better to be conservative and find an easy-to-read font, start with the default fonts on your computer, and then expand your search on the web. There are also many sites on which you can find free fonts - for example, DaFont.com and TheLeagueofMoveableType.com.
3. Select the image
Adding a few pictures is also a good way to refine your document. Unfortunately, creating graphics and taking pictures is very time consuming, and not everyone specializes in this. Fortunately, there are many resources available online.
For example, Microsoft has a collection of clipart templates for Office users to use. If you like snapshots, you can look at one of the photo archive sites. There are several sites that provide free images, while others charge for the use of drawings and photographs. Prices vary according to quality and resolution. Usually, you can find thousands of free images on Flickr.com under Creative Commons licenses. Whatever your choice, it is important to understand the copyright terms of the image before you use it. it. Using illegal images, whether intentionally or unintentionally, can be punished, and many licensing companies are hunting down violators of copyright rules. If in doubt, email the photographer to make sure.
4. Select the correct printer
Each type of printer is more appropriate for each type of content. For example, inkjet printers are better for printing than color laser printers, while laser printers are better for printing text and black-and-white documents. That is generally okay, since many inkjet printers produce beautiful text and some color laser printers produce good images. If you are not sure which printer to choose and your financial ability allows, It's a good idea to go through the nearest print shops and ask them to advise you (and if possible get some printouts). Of course, preparation is also helpful, especially if you want the material. I printed professionally. Remember you have to know the right print wording, and you must save your document in a format that the print shop can read without the need for special fonts or software.
5. Choose the best paper
The last step in the printing process is to select the correct paper type. If you used just the cheap copy paper that most office buys for printing everyday, you would be surprised to find the right type of paper, the print quality is quite different.
In general, you will need to choose the type of paper that is specific to the type of content you want to print and for the type of printer you are using. For example, paper made of natural fibers such as cotton or parchment is suitable for printing letters and formal reports, but this type is not suitable for inkjet printers, as the ink is easily permeable and will get dirty. Again, you should go to the stationery shop to find the paper and ask for the printed form and then decide.
6. Enjoy the finished product
Now that you understand, a good document consists of many elements, not just words and pictures, combining these elements is a complicated task. The good news is that there are now many free tools and resources. It's easier than 5 or 6 years ago. On the other hand, if you use too many options, it will make the author far away from the users of his printed materials for trying to do many things.
If you are not smart on design, the easiest way to create a good document is to start from a template and keep things simple and elegant. Do not forget the people who use your printed materials, the ones you have to serve, and use the money wisely: investing some money to buy good paper can be more effective and better than impressing. Use the same amount to buy online store images.
