    File Types 

    How to Open a Zip File on Any Device by HelloTech

    Once you have opened the zip file included in your purchase, you should see the following PDF files: 

    Older files and purchases had different file options.

    Borderless - Use with pre-cut paper, or import into your digital planner apps. 

    Pre-cutting your paper to size, and setting a custom page size in your printer settings is a very efficient way to print inserts.

    Singles - Have both type 1 or type 2 crop mark options. 

    Like borderless these files, these print one insert at a time.

    Spreads - Print 2 pages per sheet

    Always start on an odd page of your bundled/dated PDF to being your print. Bundled files are set up in a way where insert sides 1 and 4 show together, and then 2 and 3 will show together. This means the first two PDF pages must match up to print correctly. The following 2 pages will match up, and so on. 

    Back-to-Back Printing

    How To Print Back to Back  by Techwalla

    If you are using a duplex printer that automatically prints both front and back for you:

    • Long Edge Binding or “Flip on Long Edge” settings are used when printing full borderless or singles files.
    • Short Edge Binding or “Flip on Short Edge” settings are used when printing full 2 per page spreads.

    Computer and printer settings may look a bit different from each other - but the setting should be labeled as something very similar and may be under a section such as “Layout” “Paper Handling” or “Two Sided Printing”. You may have to click into an advanced printer menu/button to see these options.

     

    Using Pre-Cut Paper

    How to Print with Smaller Size Paper  by Techwalla

    After cutting your paper to the size needed, you will have to match your printer's page size settings to your paper's dimensions. 

    On a Mac computer, click the “Page Setup” button on the initial pop-up dialog box to see where the paper size is selected. Click “Manage Custom Sizes” to add a new page size with the dimensions of your paper. Printer and computer settings may vary. Not all printers can handle all custom sizes.

    Single Type 1 and borderless files can be printed onto pre-cut paper.

     

    Other Printer Settings

    How to Make the Output Darker on a PDF Print by TechWalla

    Every printer, in combination with the computer or operating system it runs on may show their print settings differently or using different labels. Explore and test your print settings to prior to printing your final prints.

    Some settings worth exploring:

    • Ink density
    • Print Quality
    • Intensity
    • Contrast

    You can affect the clarity or darkness of your prints by adjusting different controls in sections similar to

    • “Quality & Media”
    • “Color Options”

    Paper type can affect this as well - coated or smooth papers may show darker prints, while uncoated papers often appear lighter. Coated papers, however, do not dry as quickly.
