I have made a lot of bad choices in notepad printing. It has cost me money, and time by committing those mistakes. Right now however, I am offering you a chance to learn from my mistakes and do your notepads right, even if it is your first time in notepad printing. Below are the bad choices I made in notepad printing for your reference. This should help you know what the bad choices are about and how to avoid them if possible. So read on below and try to learn.
- Using small sizes - The first bad choice I would like to share with you are notepad sizes. Most people think notepads are small things, quite smaller than a letter sized paper. Now, this is true for the most part, but in my experience, smaller notepads are usually less useful notepads. Not only do they have less capacity for information they also usually have less impact especially if you want to use them for business. No one takes small notepads seriously and it will always look like a place for scribbles. Bigger more formal looking notepads will always look good and the information in them seems to demand respect. So if you want your notepads to be respected, do not use small sizes.
- Settling for medium quality prints - Another bad choice I made in notepad printing is to produce low to medium quality notepad prints. Of course, I was saving money at the time, but the net effect of it was bad. Lower quality or medium quality notepads of course are not as impressive as the more expensive kind. For business, this small difference in quality can be enough to determine your chances of getting that business opportunity or not. Most clients and partners will judge you by your prints as well so it is important to give your best foot forward. That is why it is important not to settle for medium quality prints. Save enough for the best notepad printing you can so that you can always get the impact that you want.
- Using standard printing paper – In terms of paper, one of my bad choices was to just let the printer use standard paper. While this of course is affordable and practical enough, in terms of impressive quality you will lack a certain something. It might be the thickness of the paper, the gloss finish or just the clear and perfect blankness of it, all these things amount to impressive notepads on a subtle level. Without those, your color notepads will just look like common, of the shelf notepads that aren't really special. So make it a point to ask your printer if there are other paper options available.
- Too much watermark visibility – Finally, the worst choice I made in my notepads was to use a watermark that was too visible. Getting excited in a design is one thing, but I made the mistake in letting that excitement spill over into the water mark. When a watermark is too visible in a custom notepad, people will tend to have a hard time writing on it. Since the notes will be harder to understand with an all to visible watermark the usefulness of the notepad decreases. That is why in your notepad printing, try to lighten the printing of your watermark to tolerable levels.
Great! I hope you can learn now from my bad choices in notepad printing. Take all this to heart on your own printing of color notepads. Good Luck!
