While it may sound complicated at first, there are ways to make things simpler and easier to understand when it comes to catalog printing. Below are a few tips on how to un-complicate your printing world and have a better time printing your business catalogs.

Use templates provided by the printing company
One thing that can really help you out is to use a template provided by a catalog printing company. This should give you all the data about the proper dimensions, scales and file formats that are accepted in the printing company. By using the template, you will not have to think and set the proper length and width dimensions, as well as other things like color settings and the like. Almost everything is already set for you and you will only need to add your content to finish the job.

Take as many pictures of your products as you can
Now for your product images for the catalog, the best way to make it easier for you is to take as many pictures of them as you can. Do not worry too much in getting a single good shot. Just take lots of it in different angles and lighting effects and then choose the best one that you see. This saves you a lot of track backs wherein you will be required to take a second photo shoot since no images are appropriate. So make sure you try out all your ideas and take many pictures. You will have a faster layout process when you do this.

Prepare all your text early
It also helps to simplify your work by setting aside some of your time to write all the text that you need. By preparing all the product descriptions, price tables and other text early on, you will not have to worry about it too much come design time. You just need to copy paste the text and adjust the font styles and colors. It should make things faster on your part, and in terms of mental focus, you can concentrate on one single type of task to another with better accuracy.

Look for a printer with a simple printing process

For me, the best printers are the ones online since they have step by step processes with online forms that make it easier to understand. They also usually give you fewer worries since everything is done online and you will just receive your printed catalogs via delivery. No hassle whatsoever.
