Brochure printing can be easy if you first identify your needs
and have a clear sense of your budget. Whether it is for is a
real estate listing, a trade show handout, a data sheet, or
another application, brochures are a great promotional tool.

Start with a layout that includes the text and images you will
need to convey your message. Then choose the type of printing
that best suits your brochure. Brochures are typically printed
in more than one color.

There are two basic choices in printing: offset printing and
laser or digital printing. Both printing processes are capable
of producing large quantities of high-quality documents. Most
high quality, full-color commercial printing is done on offset
presses using the four-color process. Offset printing is a
process whereby ink is spread on a metal plate with etched
images, is transferred to an intermediary surface, and is then
applied to paper by pressing the paper against the intermediary
surface. Although set-up costs can be relatively high, the
actual printing is generally inexpensive.

Laser or digital printing uses a laser beam to produce an image;
this is also the way copy machines work. Offset printing usually
produces clearer, crisper type and higher resolution images than
laser or digital printing. However, smaller printing jobs can be
done on a small low-volume laser or inkjet printer, or at a copy
store, thereby eliminating set-up fees and some shipping costs.

Choosing paper is another very important aspect of brochure
printing. Most printers will recommend a heavyweight, coated, or
glossy paper to achieve a more vibrant, upscale look.

The folding of your brochure is another key consideration. Basic
folding options include: the half fold or single fold, the tri
fold (the left and right flaps open), and the “Z” fold (which
opens up like an accordion). Almost all printers will give you a
greater discount the more you print.

Brochure printing can be easy and fun and allow for a good deal
of self-expression, so go ahead, what are you waiting for? Print
that brochure.
