Brochures Printing Services

The Importance of Printing Brochures

Even in this age of electronic information, a simple piece of paper commands more attention than ever. As strange as it seems, we are in the Renaissance of the brochure printing service.

People have become jaded, instantly skipping an online ad without even reading it. However, throwing away a brochure takes a few seconds longer and a bit more effort, and that’s long enough for the person to read and comprehend the information provided. If those words catch their interest, it makes printing brochures even more successful.

It is at this time that the person discovers more about a business and the products or services being offered. If, what is being provided is a benefit, a new customer may be acquired.

That’s what printing brochures can do for your business. If it had been an online ad, a single click would have wiped it from the screen and the person’s awareness. This illustrates a paradox of the Internet age: the net gets a lot of information out there, but it also makes it very easy to ignore that information. The mere act of picking up a brochure and disposing of it makes more people notice it. If they neglect to dispose of it, the printed brochure will still be lying there tomorrow, with the hope that its contents are reviewed again. Note, the important point is that none of this would have happened with an online ad because it would have been deleted and forgotten in an instant.

This idea can benefit your business, but it takes a good brochure printing service to present a business in the best light, using quality color printing services. At Print Lion, we pride ourselves on all these points, providing the professional services of our graphic design staff to give your business the best possible look.

How should my files be color formatted?

When designing full color files, please design using CMYK (4 color process; Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). A grayscale color mode should be used when submitting black and white graphics or images.

Your monitor is currently configured using RGB (Red, Green and Black) color process. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) color formatting is the preferred method used for four color process printing. CMYK has the ability to reproduce the color of your graphics exactly. If your artwork was created in RBG, please convert it to CMYK before uploading. After conversion, please review your colors, as they may need adjusted.

Any files that are sent as LAB, RGB or have additional PMS (Pantone colors) will be returned to the client. If you need us to convert the files for you, there is a chance that a color change/shift will occur. This commonly happens in blues and browns.
