Deal with the eternal cover separate to the body of the text, even to the extent of repeating the cover sheets for the external covering. If the light card is not felt to be strong enough, with care it can be covered by clear self adhesive film, such as children use to cover schoolbooks.ĭepending on the binding method used, it may be possible to use an additional (i.e., not printed) heavy card cover, which might be either self coloured or wrapped/lined with a coloured paper or cloth, with a tastefully printed label or cartouche of the content details and author affixed to the front cover and perhaps to the spine. It may be worth printing the external sheet on a light card rather than paper often a printer can handle light card, especially using a straight through path. although such lacquers can harden the paper, and sometimes cause the print to run in their solvent. One way is to spray the cover with an aerosol of waterproofing lacquer (try also hair lacquer - beware naked flames). Is there an easy way of waterproofing and strengthening paper to make soft covers? Maybe a glue that can be rollered on?Īs robleyd, this is now getting off-topic, but for completeness I'll deal briefly with the problem. Setting not mentioned you may want to change is the print quality itself ( Draft, Normal, Best, or wtv) which in most cases would beĭone in step ③, the same pop-up where "Flip on Long Edge" is set. (automatically) changes the page orientation to Landscape, which is why the steps above don't include it as a step to be done. The key step is step ⑤, with "Brochure" in this case paralleling the meaning of "Booklet". On my printer the above procedure produces a result identical to using the "Booklet" print feature of Adobe Reader or Acrobat (withĢ-sided printing handled automatically by the printer in this case). ⑨ Change "Page sides: Include" to "Back sides / left pages" and click "Print" button
⑧ Go to "File" menu again, choose "Print…" again … the default tab should still be "Page Layout" ⑦ When print completes place printed pages back in paper tray without reorienting them inĪny way simply pick them up, open paper tray, and set them in the tray to be fed next ⑥ Set "Page sides/Include" to "Front sides / right pages" and click "Print" button ④ Switch from "General" tab to "Page Layout" tab ③ Under "Printing Shortcut" tab set "Print on Both Sides" to "Flip on Long Edge" and clilck "OK" ② Under "General" tab click "Properties…"
Reader or Acrobat, but if I do use it to try to print a Booklet in OOo the page orientation doesn't remain consistent throughout) : Printing (can automatically print both sides of a page) … BUT this feature isn't used in the procedure below (it works fine in Adobe I have an hp® ENVY 4516, so the print menus for your particular printer model may differ a bit, in which case you need to find theĮquivalent commands for your model in particular, the biggest difference may be that this printer model features automatic 2-sided Old thread, but for anyone finding it via their Google search results, the procedure below is exactly what I use to print in booklet You do need to understand the final printed design and use the appropriate paper size and page order to create it. except that OOo isn't designed to account for gradually changing margins on the outside edge.įor a thicker book, a different form of printing and binding is required. If you can account for gradually changing outside margins on a thicker book so the text appears equidistant from the edge throughout, and can pay for the trimming or find a way to accomplish it, I suppose that's not such a problem. After about ten leaves of paper, it's not a very practical approach because the thickness at the fold will create a shelf effect at the edges, which must be trimmed. "Use brochure printing for booklets" is an easy, quick response and one that I've casually tossed out with some frequency, but it doesn't give much consideration to the intended product. The main thing they have in common is that the Brochure print setting is useful for arranging the pages in booklet order.īut, one problem with the Brochure setting that I failed to mention is that it's only useful for pages that are printed two-up, duplex, folded and saddle-stitched (stapled) at the fold to create the booklet. That can be helpful, but a booklet with page styles has different requirements than a standard brochure. Moondancer wrote:Solveig Haugland has an article on brocures which might be helpful.
