Q:  I’m interested in your tri-fold brochure.  How does it stay together so it doesn’t get damaged during mailing? Can I print on both sides using duplex printing?

A:  You can request sealing stickers with your order.  Although you may print on both sides of the sheet, you shouldn’t print anything on the outer side that you would not want to be seen during mailing.

Q: Does my printer need to be set up in some way to accommodate heavy paper weights?

A:  In order to print cardstock, you will need to change your printer settings, i.e. change to a thick or heavy cardstock setting.  This will allow the ink to better adhere to the paper.

If your printer is having trouble feeding the paper or printing clearly, try using the “manual” or “by pass tray” on it.
These typically will handle and print heavier paper, because they feed 1 sheet or just a few sheets at a time, at a slower, more direct path through the printer.  Also, you can check your printer settings to see if there is a “Heavy Paper” option.

Paper weight is determined by measuring the weight of a certain quantity of sheets of paper. Paper weight may be expressed as basis weight, ream weight, M weight or grammage.  Stay tuned tomorrow to see what those terms mean!

Paper weight is often measured in cover, index, text, bond, tag, bristol or gsm.

Q:  We are seeking postcards which we can print on the inside and fold the postcard in half and place the address on the outside of the postcard and seal. The information is for billing so we wanted to be able to fold the postcard over to cover the information printed on the inside.
