subject: Never Cheating On your Letterhead Printing [print this page] Creating letterheads may look easy to do, but in professional letterhead printing this is not a good reason to cheat on its details. Letterheads basically introduce you and your company or department to the world (or more crucially to important people that will matter to your business). If you do not make the best color letterhead you can produce and cheat on its production, you may well face the consequences of a bad or misunderstood business image.
So if you are in the habit of letting go and cheating on the details of letterhead printing, let me give you a few tips on what NOT to cheat on to at least help you out make good letterheads.
Don't use templates only While letterhead templates can be quite useful as the foundation of letterhead design, you should not be lazy and cheat by just using only that. Templates are meant to be things you can build upon. You should add your own design touches and even edit a few other elements of the template to really make your letterhead design on your own. Doing this will give you a far better design that is original and should make your color letterheads more memorable
Don't be lazy with your images You should also not cheat on your letterhead images. Don't just use low resolution black and white scans of the images and logos you will be using. This will not really turn out quite right when you come to letterhead printing. The best way is to create or take a full color photograph of the image you want in high resolution. The higher the quality of your letterhead images the better it should look when printed. It won't look fuzzy or pixelized and the colors should very well come out great. This makes your color letterheads more aesthetically pleasing giving your letter some added impact.
Print the all the important details It might also be crucial that you print letterheads with all the details that are essentially needed to contact you or your company. Just like a business card, a letterhead is an indication of the person or business. A full and complete array of contact information can be very useful for readers who want clarification on the letter or who wants to do business with the letter maker. So you can have a better chance of getting those great business opportunities if you print all the important contact details in your letterhead.
The best printing that you can Lastly, you should never cheat on your letterhead printer. It might be your home printer, or maybe you are having it printed by professionals, but you must always be sure that you are printing your letterheads with the best printer that you can. Inferior printers can still make great designs look awful. So, make sure that you find a great one with all the options you want in letterhead printing available, including the best paper materials, appropriate colored inks and a good quality printing machine.
Personally I recommend you to hire an online letterhead printing company so that you can have your letterheads professionally produced, giving you less trouble in the future.
So if possible, please don't cheat on your letterhead printing, especially on the aspects stated above. It will always give you the best results from your color letterheads.
