The Basics of Flyer Printing
Flyer printing is not too different from other printing when it comes to specifications. There are many of the same factors to consider when designing and printing your flyers. It is useful e to have a clear understanding of what makes a flyer different from other types of print media.
? A flyer is often a single-sheet document printed in one, two, or full color.
? The basic standard sizes for flyer printing are 8-1/2" x 11", 8-1/2" x 14", and 11" x 17".
When designing your custom flyer, remember that this will service as your communication with your target audience. Portray yourself or your business in the best way possible on your printed flyers. Simple design with clear messaging is often the best way to get your message across through a small printed flyer.
*Flyer printing is not too different from other printing types. If you know the differences, however, you will have a more successful printing experience and marketing campaign.
Printing Colorized Text
It¡¯s best not to colorize small text. All printing presses have a little bit of variance in the consistency of the position of the different color plates. This is called misregistration.
In misregistration, cyan, magenta, yellow and black portions of the text characters don¡¯t line up exactly. As a result, little colored halos appear around the characters.
It¡¯s ok to use colored text on large, headline type, or smaller sizes down to about 12 point size, but much smaller than that will be too noticeabl. The same thing holds true for white (knock-out) text on a dark or colored background. You can do it but don¡¯t use point sizes smaller than about 12 point. Otherwise the words may be hard to read and it will look unprofessional.
CMYK Printing
Four color process is a system where a color image is separated into 4 different color values by the use of filters and screens (usually done digitally). The result is a color separation of 4 images that when transferred to printing plates and printed on a printing press with the colored inks cyan (blue), magenta (Red), yellow and black, reproduces the original color image.
Unlike inkjet printers or color photocopiers, full color (C-M-Y-K) printing provides accurate, detailed, brilliant reproduction of your originals at a low cost-per-sheet. Look at any magazine cover (Time, People, National Geographic) for an example of 4-color process printing.
*This is the kind of printing found at "commercial printers", not your local quick-printer shop.
