What is Microsoft Publisher? Microsoft Publisher is an in-expensive software program available at most computer software retailers and office supply stores which allows the user to create their own layouts for business cards, brochures, forms and many other items for very high quality, professional looking documents for both desktop printing and commercial printing.

How do I use it? It is very easy to use, compared to other professional graphic design program, yet you can achieve very high quality, professional looking results. There are easy to use tutorial and wizards within the program to assist you with design and layout including a very large selection of templates. Below we offer suggestions on how to properly set up documents to submit to us for trouble free printing.

Layouts Sizes - here are a few standard layout sizes to start with, and most of these can be found under templates in Microsoft Publisher. Enter the dimension under File>Page Setup. Call us for other layout dimensions and custom printing help.

The last options are for CMYK which are used in FULL COLOR PRINTING, particularly with full color photographs or graphics.

Call us for more detailed assistance with this method.

The above step for correct color method usage for our printing process is one of the most important setting for correctly setting up your files for commercial printing. The next step is just as important and MUST be done on all jobs taken to a commercial printing company to prevent undesired results such as missing or substituted fonts or graphics.

When you are happy with the layout of your document, proof read it very carefully for any mistakes. If you submit us a file, we print it just like you send it to us, so if you miss spell a word, or have a phone number wrong it is your responsibility to proof and correct it prior to sending us your files for printing. Any job that requires re-printing due to a customer error in design, spelling, etc., will require the customer to purchase the job again if you require it to be reprinted (at your expense). Once you are confident your document is correct, then you need to follow these steps to ensure your job prints correctly.
