Engraved texts: 2nd – 8th century AD
The emperor of China commands, in AD 175, that the six main classics of Confucianism be carved in stone. His purpose is to preserve them for posterity in what is held to be authentic version of the text. But his enterprise has an unexpected result.
Confucian scholars are eager to own these important texts. Now, instead of having them expensively written out, they can make their own copies. Simply by laying sheets of paper on the engraved slabs and rubbing all over with charcoal or graphite, they can take away a text in white letters on a black ground – a technique more familiar in recent centuries in the form of brass-rubbing.
Subsequent emperors engrave other texts, until quite an extensive white-on-black library can be acquired. It is a natural next step to carve the letters in a raised form (and in mirror writing) and then to apply ink to the surface of the letters. When this ink is transferred to paper, the letters appear in black (or in a colour) against the white of the paper – much more pleasant to the eye than white on black.
But it is the Buddhists, rather than the Confucians, who make the breakthrough.

Improving Your Printing Projects, by Richard Breene
There are simple, inexpensive ways to improve any printing project, whether it’s brochure printing, postcard printing, or newsletter printing. Using any of these tricks or a combination of them will help increase the appeal of your document and attract attention from your target audience.
Spelling and Grammar
The use of correct spelling and grammar can apparently not be emphasized frequently enough since so many brochures and newsletters are still printed with spelling and grammar mistakes! Taking a break before proofreading your brochure will help you take a fresh look at the content. Alternatively, you can ask a coworker to read over it. Double check any instances of “your” and “there” and other commonly misspelled words for accuracy. Use the “Find” function (usually ctrl + F) to look up specific words and review for grammar mistakes.
Clean up the Clutter
If you are worried your postcard or brochure printing is too crowded, then the chances are high that it is. Clean out the clutter: make sure everything in your document pertains to the purpose and message. Statements about your products or services should be emphatic, well-informed, and knowledgeable. Do not let indecision or doubt into your marketing materials; make sure that all of your text conveys confident assurance in addition to being on point.
Color Outside the Lines
Capturing the attention of readers is the main goal of all marketing materials. A great way to do that is to consider how you can modify your design to make the most of position, text, etc. One stunning way to create an irresistible brochure printing cover is to let your title or image go to the edge of the panel. With an image, stretch it into the bleed zone, beyond the trim lines, but with your title be careful about how close to the edge you get since some of the letters may get cut off.
Invert Font
Highlight important changes. Create impact by inverting the normal black type on white background to white type in a black background. Small types may not print well using this technique, so check with your printer beforehand. Usually the font needs to be over 8 point to use this attention grabbing format in your postcard or brochure printing.
No matter your printing project, the tricks above will bring the improvements you need to get better results. Remember, though, to always keep track of your brochure or poster results so that you know what works and what is a flop. Make changes as necessary to your designs until you start getting the ROI that you desire, and eventually you will have a tight marketing plan that runs like a money-making machine!

Tri-Fold Brochure Tips and Tricks
Tri-fold brochure printing is the centerpiece of many marketing strategies for good reason: it works! Customers are accustomed to navigating through a color trifold brochure and are familiar with the layout. One of the reasons this format is so successful is that it allows your business to tell a story and guide a customer through its sales presentation.
This means that your brochure printing and design are vital to the success of this marketing format. Poorly designed tri-fold brochures can confuse or even frustrate customers. So, consider some of these tips and tricks for your tri-fold brochure printing.
Front panel
Simply put, the design of your front panel will make or break any tri-fold brochure printing project. If the customer does not understand your products and services or what benefits you can bring to them, why would they reach for the brochure? Make sure the front panel engages the customer with images that communicate your company’s core competencies.
Tell a story
Your brochure should guide your customers through a story or process. Whether you are communicating your business’s basic products and services or explaining a specific product or service, use the natural flow of a tri-fold to tell your story one panel at a time.
Separating lines
Each panel can work as its own separate storyboard, but sometimes you need to separate ideas, products, or services on a per panel basis. Use separation lines or other graphical elements so your customer can clearly tell that you are discussing a different idea, product, or service. This will help the reader follow along much more clearly and also allow them to simply pick and choose what information they want to read.
Summary
Trifold brochure printing can present a number of design challenges, but keeping your customer in mind can help you avoid brochures that are difficult to read. Use a front panel that really grabs their attention, tell a story across each panel, and separate different elements with lines or other graphics. Keeping these principles in mind can help you make sure that your brochure printing effectively drives sales.

Richard Breene Some things to remember when creating press ready files:
Use a standard program such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Quark. We’ve noticed the market moving to Adobe products, but still have clients who are loyal to Quark.
Start in CYMK format. RGB is for the web, and for your monitor viewing only, they will not work in the sheetfed or web printing world.
Start all graphics and files in 300 dpi resolution. 72 dpi is great for the web, but will look pixelated and blurry in the print medium.
Include fonts (especially if you’re working in Quark), or outline and flatten them in your current program.
Create bleed. If your file has color going all the way to the trim edge, you need to create a bleed. Think of the final trim as a cookie cutter, we need extra “dough” to trim off and to create a nice edge to the printed piece. We can’t trim exactly on an edge where color runs out, as trimming is still a purely mechanical process.
We see files of all types, and deal in Mac and PC all the time, so if you set things up properly, things tend to run smoother.
If you give us a file from say, Word Publisher, we can probably figure out a way to make it work, but it will require file manipulation, time, and possibly cost to you!
We offer graphic art services also, so if you can’t do it yourself, we can put you together with an artist and help you create the type of artwork that you have in mind.
Please don’t hesitate to call us, and we can guide you in the right direction!

Richard Breene The Scoop on Full Color Brochures, by Richard Breene
For Custom Quotes: Richard@BreeneGraphics.com http://www.BreeneGraphics.com
Brochures are those informational marketing documents that you see everywhere. They are at the bank offering account deals that can’t be beat while you stand in line to make a deposit. At a trade show, everyone ends up with a handful of full color brochures to take back to the hotel room at the end of each day. As you wait for a table in the restaurant, multiple brochures in rack card holders advertise the most exciting entertainment in town. Anyone can run everyday errands and return home with a brochure from nearly every stop. Yet, many will not pick up even one. So how do you make an irresistible brochure that stands out from the rest?
Create professional quality, eye-popping colorful brochures with full color printing. Also known as four color, this method of printing brochures uses the primary colors of ink (CMYK), rather than the primary colors of light (RGB), which means that the images will appear more clear and bright on paper. The RGB (red, green, blue) method only appears professional on screen, hence the use of RGB colors for websites and other non-print material. Even though the combination of the three colors – cyan, magenta, and yellow – can create dark hues, the black ink (what the “K” stands for) is included for a truer black color. Most commercial printers use 4 color but not all, which is why you will need to double check on the website or give them a call.
Of course, four color printing alone cannot increase your ROI. Create a stunning cover page that cannot be ignored. To do this, write a headline that makes an alluring yet believable offer. It needs to be something that no other business is providing. Use a font that is easily readable and large enough to be seen from a few feet away. Include an image that supports the offer, one that enhances believability. Use only two or three different colors, and make sure that they contrast well so the headline pops out from the background.
Brochures are available by the dozens. Make sure that yours get the attention they deserve by using full color printing and a cleverly designed cover.

6 Tips for Ordering Business Cards
Business cards are a way to promote your business anytime, anywhere. They allow you to take advantage of unexpected opportunities to network, giving new contacts your information in a professional way. There is a lot weighing on your business card printing pieces because they are often the first impression people get of your company. Here are some tips for ordering cards that will represent your business well.
1. Order Quality Cards
Giving out quality cards means giving people a good impression of your business. When you are ordering business cards, choose quality paper stock, maybe even something with texture. Also choose full color printing and full bleeds because these will make your cards look their best.
2. Buy Smaller Quantities at First
Most printing companies offer business cards in multiples of 250 or 500. For your first business card order, one of those numbers is about right. That way you can test the effectiveness of your card and make changes for your next printing.
3. Choose Designs Similar to Your Other Media
Your business cards should look similar to your newsletters, brochures, calendars, fliers, labels, signs, and any other print media you use. Keeping a consistent look helps to build brand recognition and just looks professional. Keep a similar color scheme and typeface, and use the same logo on everything.
4. Do Not Crowd the Card
Avoid putting too much information on your business cards. They are small, so using a lot of information means using a tiny font size. You want people to be able to read your cards with ease. The info you need to put on the card is your logo, tag line, name, phone number, and web address. If you want to put anything else on the card, print it on the back.
5. Do Something Unusual
Look for unusual options when ordering business cards. You might choose rounded edges or include a photograph on your cards. You could also include artwork or use colored text. Anything that can make your card memorable will make your investment pay off.
6. Proofread Before Printing
Make sure you proofread your card several times before giving the printer the okay. Business cards with the wrong contact information are worthless. Most printers will offer an electronic proof for free; but be sure to have several people check it before approving the card for thorough editing.

Some Handy Hints for Custom-sized Brochure Printing
For effective brochure printing, you may need to use a brochure size that is not standard. Luckily, there are some printers out there that will work with you and your custom needs. Most brochures are 8.5″ x 11″ or 17″ folded in thirds or fourths, but the reality is that there are a variety of sizes and folds that work well for different types of brochures.
Most brochure printing companies that offer custom sizes will allow you to choose a size anywhere between the sizes they offer. For instance, a printer may offer 9×12 and 11×17, but you would like a square brochure sized 9×9. For a printer that offers custom trim options, this is no problem.
A custom size is a very easy (and often much cheaper) way to make your brochures stand out. No matter what size your custom brochure will be, here are some hints that will make your brochure effective.
Direct Your Message
Your brochure printing will be most effective in the hands of your target audience. So instead of writing a general brochure that interests no one, write a brochure that directly answers the needs of your target audience.
Stick with One Clear Message
Not only should your message be directed towards a specific group of people, it should also be directly about one message. If your object is to introduce a new product, then do so without adding other sales pitches. The more specific your brochure, the better its impact will be.
Write to Your Readers
When you are writing the body of your brochure, use language that you would use if you were talking to a friend. Explain how your product or service will impact the reader in a positive way. With brochure printing, the benefits of your business should be laid out in a way that is easily understood.
Represent Your Brand
Brochure printing is the center piece of all your marketing materials. Create a design that is consistent with the colors and design of your company brand. The color scheme should be similar to your other materials. Include your logo somewhere in the brochure, and use graphics that support your business’s image.
Present Professionally
The paper that you use for brochure printing does matter. A flimsy paper will impress on your readers that your business is cheap, whereas a more sturdy paper will give your company the feel of stability.
Include a Feature that Grabs Attention
Add a unique feature to your brochure printing that sets you apart from others. You may have a great high profile testimonial. Perhaps you can offer a special deal. Use your creativity to put your brochures in the spotlight.
