COURSE TEXT

You're planning to create a publication with Publisher and have it professionally printed. You expect to make a lot of decisions about how the project will look and what it will say, but are you expecting to make decisions about how it will print?

Commercial printing requires that you follow certain conventions to ensure successful printing. If you overlook some of these conventions when creating your publication, you might incur higher costs when your commercial printer has to redo some of your work.

These lessons will give you a good idea of what you need to keep in mind when preparing a publication for commercial printing.
