Print It Right: A Simple Guide to Document Printing for Work, Study and Home
Document printing is the everyday work of print: reports, theses, manuals, training packs, handouts and plans. It looks simple, until a page shifts, a font changes or a table gets cut off. A few habits solve most of it.
Before you upload
- Save as PDF. It locks fonts and layout, so what you see is what prints.
- Check the page size. A4 is the usual, but plans and posters may be A3.
- Look at the margins. Keep text at least 10mm from the edge.
- Check images and charts at 100 per cent zoom. If it is blurry on screen, it will be blurry on paper.
- Number your pages and check the order.
Colour or black and white?
- Black and white suits text-heavy documents: contracts, manuals, scripts, notes
- Colour is worth it for charts, diagrams, brand documents, presentations and anything with images
Tip: you do not have to choose one for all. If only a few pages need colour, ask us how to handle a mixed document.
Simple, fair pricing
Check the live document printing page for current prices and options before ordering.
Binding and finishing
Stapled, bound and punched options turn loose sheets into something that looks finished. For a thesis, a manual or a training pack, binding is often the difference between "a printout" and "a document".
Trends
- Print plus digital: hand out a printed summary with a QR code to the full online version
- Duplex (double sided) as standard to save paper and cost
- Clear, readable layouts: bigger text, more white space, shorter paragraphs
- Colour-coded sections and tabs for quick navigation
