Booklet printing

[PatJennings]

I am nearing finalization of a booklet comprising 8 sheets, 32 pages and
have been printing draft copies at the local OfficeMax. Now I want to print
the booklet with different weight paper for the cover sheet and internal
pages. What is the better way to schedule the print?

 

[Mary Sauer]

Use a separate publication for the cover. Are you printing the booklet yourself?
Some printers have the option of printing the first page on different stock.

 

[PatJennings]

I will be using a professional printer service, expecting to print a few
hundred copies for the first run.

After all this work, my first impression is that by separating the booklet
into two publisher files (is that what you are suggesting?), could cause
disruption to page numbering.

Separate printing for the one file and then the other should impact the
printing production.

Then the solution would be to advise your service what your desires are and let
them explain the options.

If I told my printer about my desires, he'd blush. ;-)

(And then I'd be blushing if he gave me options.)

I knew when I used the term desire, it was wrong... My printer person lost
desire in the last century.

So there's still a little hope? It's only been 5½ yrs.

(I had to post something about desires. Sometimes a line like that can't be
left alone.)
