subject: How To Print Catalogs Appropriately by:Lynne Saarte [print this page] There is of course the right way of catalog printing and the wrong way to print a catalog. Most of us usually fall in the middle of this spectrum since not all of us are perfect at doing things, but we can figure out how most of the basic things work when it comes to catalog printing. However, in this article, I will show you how to get to the better end of the spectrum. I will teach you how to print catalogs effectively and appropriately. These are very simple tips and in the end you should be able to print color catalogs with an increased chance of making it great.
1. Hire the best staff
The best tip I can give you if you really want to do things right and appropriate with your color catalogs is to hire the best staff. Have a good photographer take your catalog images, while a professional writer should take care of the text content. A layout artist should also be useful to marry all the elements together and of course a professional catalog printing firm should take care of the actual production. You of course should be the one overseeing everything as you provide them with your base concept for the catalog.
Since most of the people you hired should be professionals, you should minimize any kind of problems or errors in the print catalog. Also you should at least be assured that everything you created is handled by people who know what they are doing.
2. Use a design that is for the audience and not for you
In creating the concept though for catalog printing, you must keep in mind that your concept must be made for the audience or the readers and not for you. You do not create color catalogs for yourself. You make them for consumers to read, so the design must be aimed for them. It must be attractive and look interesting for them. So do your proper demographic research to know what your audiences may like in a color catalog.
3. Always review everything before printing
Also, another great tip would be to always review everything before printing. I have seen many people fail with print catalogs since one minor error in their catalog ruins the respectability and attractiveness of the design. Prevent this mistake from happening to you by always having a quality assurance step for all the elements in your catalog. Check for typographical errors, design mistakes, color harmony, proper dimensions etc.
4. Get all the best printing deals
Now, printing catalogs appropriately also means getting the best and appropriate printing price. You can do this by canvassing your catalog printer options to figure out the firm that offers the least price for the best quality you can afford. Try the usual publishing houses or printing firms, as well as the online printing services for a good comparison of all the printers that you can hire. Just tally all the information you want and you should be able to figure out where the best printing deals are.
5. Use all the best catalog production options
Finally, to maintain an appropriate look of quality in your catalog printing, you must use the best catalog printing options available. Ask your printer for the best catalog paper stock options, ink options as well as the best catalog binding techniques that they can offer. Try to aim for the best quality for all these aspects to get the most professional looking and appropriately designed color catalog out there.
Now you know how to print catalogs appropriately! Try to do all the tips to get the best results with your catalog printing.
