- Printing and Paper Selection
-
Printing
There are several options for printing your projects. We recommend that you start with the Penn State's Multimedia and Print Center. Printing costs in excess of $250.00 are to be routed to the Multimedia and Print Center to see if printing can be completed by MPC within the timeline needed and for less than an external vendor.
- PSU Prints
- HUB Copy Center: hubcopycentral@psu.edu or 814-863-2988
- ProCopy (external vendor)
- Engineering Copy Center
Paper Selection
- Flyers should be printed on an 80# text stock. A Gloss or a Matte would be the default finish unless it's going to be written on. If it's a form or something that needs to be written on then an uncoated paper is the preferred selection.
- Postcards should be printed on a 100# cover stock. A gloss, satin or a matte finish would be recommended for a postcard. An uncoated stock will not hold up well to being mailed. Occasionally, the backside of the postcard will have a written message. In this case, a coating on only one side (C1S) would be the best stock for this. These are often measured in points. We'd recommend 12 pt. for postcards
- Posters should be printed with the Engineering Copy Center. They are able to print large format and can turn jobs around fairly quickly.
- Note Cards should be printed on an 80# cover stock. A Gloss or a Matte would be the default finish unless it's going to be written on. Often times the inside of the card will have a written message and a coating on only one side (C1S) would be the best stock for this. This particular stock is often measured in points. We'd recommend 10 pt. or 12 pt. for cards. There will normally be a score and folding cost associated with a notecard.
If any of these terms are not clear visit the Printing Terms tab below for more clarity.
- Printing Terms
-
- Bleed is an easy and fairly inexpensive way to elevate your design. Bleed simply means the piece is printed beyond the edge of the paper and then trimmed to the final size later.
- Folding is often used in conjunction with scoring in the print production world. Folding is used when a design requires a single sheet of paper to be bend back on itself.
- Full-Color printing, also known as 4-color printing, is when the document is printed using more than 3 inks.
- Multiple-Up, also known as [number] up, this is when the same design is printed multiple times on one sheet of paper for efficiency. For example, an 8.5" x 5.5" design can be printed twice on an 11" x 8.5" sheet of paper.
- One Color printing, also known as black and white printing, is when the document is printed using only one color, often black ink.
- Paper Finish is important because it will give an impression of the message in the piece. For example, most copy paper is uncoated. If the flyer is uncoated and lightweight it will appear cheap to the viewer. In contrast, using a heavy stock with a high gloss finish may appear wasteful to the viewer. To learn more about paper finish visit www.printi.com to learn more.
- Paper Weight refers to the thickness of the paper. The higher the weight the thicker the paper will be. A heavier weight paper will also carry a higher cost. To learn more about paperweights visit www.printi.com for more information.
- Scoring is done when the design will be folded. This means the paper is cut lightly where it will be folded. This cut will allow the paper to fold cleanly without cracking the ink.
- Bleed is an easy and fairly inexpensive way to elevate your design. Bleed simply means the piece is printed beyond the edge of the paper and then trimmed to the final size later.
- Design and Layout Terms
-
- Balance is when elements are distributed harmoniously based on their visual weight on the page.
- Contrast is the relationship between the lightest element and the darkest element in the design. For example, black text on a white page would be the highest possible contrast.
- Fonts are a collection of letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols. For example, Times, Garamond, Helvetica, and Arial.
- Leading is the distance between two lines. This measurement is based on the distance between the bottom of one line of copy to the top of the next line.
- Texture refers to the surface feel of the design. This can be a physical texture—through paper choice. Texture can also be an implied texture by using graphic elements. Such as using elements from the Graphic toolbox at Penn State Branding page.
- Tracking is the distance between to letters. Like leading its measurement is based on the negative space between letters.
- Value is measured based on how light or how dark an element is.
- Visual weight is based on the object's power to draw your eye to it.
