14. Printing Tips
Here are some important tips for producing the best funeral program
from your template. Don’t forget to read this section to get a great
looking funeral program template!
1. To get the best results, print your funeral program on at least 32 lb. weight
white paper. You can print it on regular weight paper but the heavier paper
gives it durability and an overall nicer presentation.
2. Set your color printer to “border-less” printing. This option will vary from
printer to printer depending on your manufacturer. if you have this feature
for your type of printer– otherwise there will be a 1/4 white border around
the edges. You can trim this off, if you’d like to achieve the “full bleed” or
border-less effect.
3. If your even shorter on time or don’t have a color printer, consider taking
your program to an express local printing service. You may need to create
a PDF file of your PUBLISHER® template prior to bringing it to the local
express printer.
4. To ensure your program prints with even borders if you do not have a
“border-less” printer, you need to make sure your print driver is setup
correctly.
1. Open the template, FILE > PAGE SETUP
2. Select Paper Size > Manage Custom Sizes > Enter 0 for top,
right, bottom, and left margin settings. Click OK when done.
3. Check the PAGE PREVIEW before printing to ensure your
program has even borders around the perimeter of the page.
Also make sure that your paper size is set up to letter border-less or
legal border-less for tri fold brochures.
