Services and pricing guide (.pdf)
Guide and form are pdfs and require Adobe Acrobat or Reader
Budget-quality presentation laser printing using plain or card stock paper.
Accepted File Types
For double-sided prints, multipage pdfs only. Please convert Indesign files to pdf. For help, use our helpful video guides, Indesign-Packaging Files/Exporting pdfs Quick Guide and Adobe Acrobat-Combining Multiple Files into One pdf Quick Guide.
Front and back alignment is not guaranteed and will vary greatly. Double-sided printing is not recommended for files that need to be cropped / trimmed to a precise size or lined up exactly front to back.
Setting up pdf files for double-sided is different than setting them up for single-sided printing because you have to determine the orientation of the second side when the page is flipped. We strongly encourage viewing our video Double-Sided Printing Quick Guide for how-to instructions.
If printing from your home computer, check out printing a booklet from your home computer.
