Booklet Design and Printing Tips

Guru Printers Booklet Design Checklist:

  • Make sure that your images are either vector based or at least 300 dpi for the best high-resolution image.
  • Include the correct dimensions for your catalog booklet’s size within your design file.
  • Do not use border lines. Our cutters allow for a few millimeters of deviation so make sure to avoid border lines to ensure your design does not appear crooked or off balance.
  • To prevent any unwanted trimming of your design use print setup templates in accordance with the editing program you use.
