Giving Your Presentations an Edge
With all the time and effort that go into creating a presentation, you want to make sure it isn’t compromised by choosing the wrong paper to print it on. The best way to ensure your work looks and feels important is to consider the following factors.
-
Are there a lot of photos or 4-color charts in your presentation? Then you will probably want to print your entire presentation on a premium stock, perhaps with a gloss finish for a polished appearance.
-
If your presentation is predominantly black and white with spot color or color pages appear periodically, you may consider printing the bulk of the presentation on one grade and printing the color pages on another. This is the most cost effective option for printing a large number of copies. If you go this route, make sure the papers have similar shade and brightness levels to ensure uniformity.
-
If your presentation is interspersed with large images, you may want to consider using photo paper to really make a big splash on these pages. An everyday photo paper that allows printing on both sides is also an option for small print runs of brochures and newsletters.
-
Presentation grade papers are generally higher weight than everyday papers to lend the crisp look and the substantial feel associated with high-end work. A heavier paper also allows less show through, a key consideration if you are printing on both sides of the sheet. If you expect your proposal will be referenced often, you’ll want to print it on extra heavy stock that will withstand being passed around an office or referred to on a regular basis.
